lyrics

Rising forth, pitch becloaked and in the still of night
My kingdom is the bane of the Arnorian kin
Seizing with an iron fist, face the Nazgûl's might
For Amon Sûl shall fall and Arveleg shall follow

In Rhudaur a fallen king, but still the palantír
Is taken to Fornost borne by the last of their sons
Now these walls so besieged shall take their final spears
As Fornost whose allies are sundered to Gondor's aid

Setting sights on Arthedain, unseat the kingdom's throne
Muster battalions of orcs, in Sauron's name shall we fight
All shall fall to my black mace, interred in shattered stone
So lie the hopes of the North, crushed by the might of Angmar

This castle will rise over the wastes and the graves
Evil abounds til boats from Gondor arrive
And Prince Eärnur captains the charge of the knaves
Still, taken aback, flanked by the boy's cavalry

So my troops laid to waste, facing with Eärnur
To challenge to mortal duel, still but a petulant child
And his horse flees the field before my hellish power
"No man can end my life," roaring with mirth I retreat

Dormant lies in Mordor's keep, and Gondor feels at peace
The prince becomes their king, but word comes from Minas Morgul
"Can you feel the disgrace? The sting of thy defeat?
Enter the Dead City's gates, cast crown and kingdom to ash!"
