[00:22.07]When the awesome day of great thunder came
[00:27.65]And the sound of trumpets shook the sky
[00:31.83]They say that Beleriand was all ablaze
[00:35.74]And that tongues of fire flew up high
[00:39.83]And the white host of Valinor went east
[00:43.31]Beauty and terror together marched
[00:46.38]To the battle of long-delayed revenge
[00:50.30]And by furious flames the land was parched
[00:57.33]
[01:18.04]They say that the Earth trembled under their feet
[01:23.45]In the hour of reckoning and war
[01:26.25]And their weapons cast a strong blinding sheen
[01:31.02]And the furtive darkness they pierced and tore
[01:38.74]
[01:51.97]Assailed by fear
[01:55.25]And strange doubt, he quailed
[01:58.51]In front of what he could not behold
[02:05.42]
[02:21.25]And in despair
[02:23.86]Launched the last assault
[02:27.11]From the infernal lairs
[02:30.22]Of his deep stronghold
[02:33.88]
[03:29.34]From the chasms and hellish pits
[03:38.79]Of the fell foe that ever sits
[03:48.08]On the hard throne of tyranny
[03:52.91]Deadliest horror of history
[03:56.68]Dismal flashes and burning hail
[04:00.62]Wrecking raiders that scourge and flail
[04:04.34]Dreadful clashes that wring the sky
[04:07.20]In the last effort to defy
[04:10.76]From the oceans of immense space
[04:14.88]Where the day and the night embrace
[04:18.14]Sweeping, wild winds of victory
[04:21.24]Irresistible symphony
[04:27.15]In the hour of flaming truth
[04:31.49]In the battle of wrath and ruth
[04:37.74]The star-vessel lit up the air
[04:41.53]At the summit of heaven's stair
[04:44.14]Fiery spirits in birdlike form
[04:46.72]Warring eagles against the storm
[04:55.13]Towering struggle until the end
[04:58.14]Iron talons that tear and rend
[05:04.35]
[05:51.70]See Ancalagon's last onslaught
[05:55.93]But with Earendil Fate's hand fought
[05:58.21]And the black heinous flame grew higher
[06:00.76]Until fire was killed by fire
[06:03.44]Floundering
[06:05.50]Elation
[06:08.29]Collapse
[06:09.66]Triumph
[06:15.00]
[07:06.90]When by the hands of justice
[07:09.57]The Silmarils were freed
[07:12.88]Shining pure and unsullied
[07:16.79]Each like a radiant bead
[07:19.91]Feanor's sons did not yield
[07:23.33]Anguished and yet strong-willed
[07:26.80]Weary and still unbending
[07:30.22]With ancient hardness filled
[07:33.88]Hearing the herald's message
[07:38.02]Refusing to give in
[07:41.04]Defying the supreme will
[07:44.39]Victims of their own sin
[07:47.77]Each of them seized a bright gem
[07:52.16]Neither could bear the pain
[07:55.34]With the blind slaves of murder
[08:01.69]The gems could not remain
[08:05.79]One in the fires of deep earth
[08:08.43]One in the unfathomed sea
[08:11.15]One in the airs of heaven
[08:15.00]Voyaging high and free
[08:18.47]One in the fires of deep earth
[08:21.77]One in the unfathomed sea
[08:25.06]One in the airs of heaven
[08:28.70]Voyaging high and free
[08:32.62]They shall not come together
[08:36.75]While the great Powers reign
[08:39.79]Unless the world is broken
[08:42.59]And Earth is made again
[08:50.32]
