Son of Gloom - Ainur

[00:21.12]He came in the wan year of lamentation
[00:27.58]Dispossessed inheritor of his lot
[00:31.42]Somberness and grimness upon his features
[00:37.34]He was just a pawn in the crazy plot
[00:42.73]To the King of Doriath a child to foster
[00:49.52]In the Hidden Kingdom a grievous sight
[00:54.20]For his face was marked with the seal of sorrow
[01:00.64]And his dawn was under the shade of night
[01:08.55]Son without a father, from the Land of Shadows
[01:13.31]Chilly gusts of winter over summer meadows
[01:16.58]Banished from the garden where white lilies bloom
[01:23.04]Only scarlet flowers for the son of gloom
[01:28.85]Long days spent away on the windy marches
[01:35.82]Warring against enemies in the wild
[01:40.28]He became the ireful, stone-hard avenger
[01:46.44]Who could not forgive when he was reviled
[01:51.22]Pitiless in poisoning his own life
[01:55.48]Hero without blessing, ruler without power
[01:59.00]Tale whose words are bitter, man whose soul is sour
[02:02.64]Victim of perdition, youth that could not bloom
[02:09.39]Only blood-red flowers for the son of gloom
[02:15.98]Son of Men, impenetrable mind
[02:22.90]Far-off world that cannot be defined
[02:29.82]Swart reflection of a wandering flame
[02:37.30]Running wild, renouncing your true name
[02:43.98]Against the wasting weapons of murderous hands
[02:47.85]Against the shafts of anger like fiery brands
[02:53.20]I will be there to shield you whatever you do
[02:59.85]With my bow that does not know defeat
[03:03.81]With the sword that all the Elves shall greet
[03:07.68]With my life I'm ready to defend
[03:12.75]You, the one I've chosen as my friend
[03:17.47]
