time stands still

Nightfall In Middle-Earth albümünden gaz bir Blind Guardian eseri.(#1065329)tam adi time stand still (at the iron hill) 'dir

Light fails at dawn
The moon is gone
And deadly the night reigns

Deceit

Finally I've found myself
In these lands
Horror and madness I've seen here
For what I became a king of the lost?
Barren and lifeless the land lies

[bridge:]
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord

[chorus (repeat 2x):]
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill

I stand alone
Noone's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you

He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries

Slowly in fear
The dark lord appears
Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned

[bridge]

[chorus]

The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down the Noldor's
Proudest king

Under my foot
So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain

[bridge]

[chorus]

The Elvenking's broken
He stumbles and falls
The most proud and most valiant
His spirit survives
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king
Praise our king

14. The Dark Elf

A dark seed of evil is grown

15. Thorn

A black swan
Is born that night
The misty pond
(Has) got a new king
Got a new king
So what can we do
With our lives
When it all begins
It's hard and
It's cruel
Will grace die in pain?
Will light ever rise again?

I'm trapped in darkness
Still I reach out for the stars
I'm moving in silence
I leave it all far behind

[chorus:]
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll pray at the edge of thorns
Oh at dawn
I'll face the edge of thorns

Let us march on
To the fields of sacrifice
(I'm) wondering why
I'll carry on
Will I betray myself
To rise

In the silence
It's time to explain
(And)
Search for truth in lies
Useful lies
Needless love's damned

What can we do with our lives
When it all begins

[chorus]

Come follow me
And you will see
How it will be
When all the pain is gone away

[chorus]

Let us march on
Though there's no hope at our side
Let us be brave
Though by glory we are denied
But
Don't you think
It's time for us
To bring to an end
Come play the song of death
The wisdom in us both
Will make it
Special guaranteed
Play the song of death

I'm lost in the depths of his eyes
I can't flee
Inner pain caused insanity
It's deep within
The fear and the hunger
Enslaved and denied
By my love and my enemies
I'm the illgotten son

[chorus]

dinledikçe, insanın tekrar tekrar silmarillionu okuyasını getiren şarkı.

kanaatimce en güzel nightfall in middle earth parçasıdır. çünkü krallar kralı, cesur fingolfin'in morgoth karşısındaki destansı savaşını ve düşüşünü anlatır.

"i'll dare you!! come out!!
you coward!
now it's me, or you!"

blind guardian'ın en güzel şarkılarından biri. adamı orta dünya'ya götürür. keşke orta dünya'da olsaydım da fingolfin'le morgoth'un savaşına şahit olsaydım denir. keşke...

(bkz: silmarillion)

the all american rejects'in şarkılarından biridir.

canlı versiyonu da muhteşem olan şarkı. **

fate of us all
lies deep in the dark

dizeleriyle benim gibi pek çok genç insanın zaten karmaşık olan hayat felsefesini iyice darman duman etmiş defalarca dinlenilip sıkılınmayacak bir şarkıdır..

insanın kılıç kalkan kuşanıp ortadünya savaşlarına katılası gelir dinledikçe..

He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges the doom
Lord of slaves he cries.

Dizeleriyle, beni benden alan şarkı. Noldor'un Yüce Kralı Fingolfin'in Angband'in kara kapılarına kadar varıp, Dünya'nın kötücül düşmanı Morgoth'a çık kapıya diye borusunu öttürmesini anlatıyor.

almanya'da kurulmuş blind guardian isimli power metal grubuna ait bir parça. yüzüklerin efendisi'nin yazarı j.r.r tolkien'in , başka bir kitabı olan silmarilliondaki çok kudretli bir elf beyine , yani "fingolfin" isimli karakterine ithafen yazılmıştır.

içerik olarak fingolfin'in melkor'la olan duellosunu ve onun cesaretini anlatır.
