…Where the Shadows Lie
It's time for heroic deeds The gift of courage and steel are your key Those with glory shine like stars The highest prize is to ride with victory So many souls follow the path Trusting their magic and blades There has to be more than that Fight with your heart or fail Ages of war and sorrow One needs much to survive Danger hiding in the darkness around us Your sword is the only law Brave enough to challenge your enemy? Never underestimate the power of evil Those creatures are born to kill Trust your blades and black blood will spill Path of ancient gods of war Will lead me to victory Carrying the blades of death I am the Swordmaster For the honor of your knighthood Ride with pride into your quest Never doubt to raise your sword For the justice which shall be done Believe in your destiny You are the warrior soul Without fear against your enemy The flame inside you will never fade Fight for your king and brothers We shall trust in you Ride towards the eternal struggle of good and evil Be aware, the enemy is strong They are after your soul Remember what you have learned Let your sword be your destiny Pray your gods if you fight against me There won't be another dawn in your sight My blades are thirsty for blood Thirsty for blood and ready to fight Path of ancient gods of war Will lead me to victory Carrying the blades of death I am the Swordmaster

Deadly wardog without fear Ramming through the battlefields Mighty heroes and kings of men Will be dead by this beast, insane Skin of stone and bones of steel Shredded bodies and blood will spill There are no allies there are no mates When this demon is out in rage My bestial servants, now go with hate and destruction Twelve feet high and weight of stone Crushing enemies' head and bones No mercy you get from him When he's here it's time to kill! Beast of war with lust for battle All the enemies' like a helpless cattle Blades, arrows and hammers of war All useless and this beast wants more Olog-hai! Raging goblin is out from hell Deadly berserker of chaos and mayhem With wargutteral and stench of death he will come and crust your head Your dead corpse eaten by ghouls Flesh and brain there's left only bones Only sun can stop this plague But in the darkness you can feel his hate Rage of Goblins! Black blooded, red eyed and hateful in nature Dwellers of darkness with lust for blood They kill for pleasure and without reason The rage of goblins will crush you down

Land of the Gods Home for their human forms You see the same stars From their distant realm mystic path you sail To reach their presence One part of mortal world Creation, the Great Song There's a land beyond the great sea The final place of read harmony To the shores of a far-away realm Those lands my dream and my destiny From the elven bay of Lhun Our great journey shall begin West our ships are heeding To the harbour of the far away land divine Over the deep waters Facing the thundering winds May Ulmo be on my side All the way to the Enchanted Isles Sailing the magical ships A journey over the sea Straight Road along the elves Beyond the Spheres of the world Somewhere behind the horizon Two realms of Undying Lands Valinor home of the Valar Eldamar the elven domain Without fear to the unknown sea Forward with full sails White ships of elven wood Catching the fair wind Soon I shall see my ream The fate I truly believed Land of magic and fantasy Place for my final rest Farewell my mortal friends My time with you will be over Hail the home of gods Share my joy when I'm gone Sailing the magical ships A journey over the sea Straight Road along the elves Beyond the Sphere of the world Over the deep waters Facing the thundering winds May Ulmo be on my side All the way to the Enchanted Isles Shall I ever see that coast Kingdoms of Tirion and Alqualonde Heart of the higher races The realm of the gods, my eternal home

To the other side of known world To the places where time doesn't exist You see all of it, you have seen nothing All is too much to understand Only the higher minds so blackened and ill Can travel beyond his thoughts In the tower of damned darkness The Lord of chaos, the witch of the eye Holding the keys into the shadows Watching over green lands learning the ways of goodness To prevent those shades of light Light and its people in Arda Weak fools, enemy forever Enemy forever! Gates of shadow, doors for demons Demons of nether and void Infernal landscapes and abyssic essence Insane to the mind of a man The world of unknown, enchanted domain Fields of nightmare and fear Like haunted dreams, darken realms Homeland for the demonic beings If you go, you may drown like a stone Lose your soul and die a thousand times Known evil is nothing there And nothing is just the beginning

The southern end of the Misty Mountains Waters of Entwash and Limlight There it stands, the mighty wood of great age Hiding secrets from the early years Once so green and great that it reached All over the Eriador Huge tracts of lost lands Beleriand covered by this great vast forest Creatures hiding in the deepest shadows Keeping the darkest ones away Great guardians, fathers of woods Defending their ancient pride Long ago they wandered the land Nowadays there's left only a few Others crushed by the armies of unlight In Fangorn there lives the eldest one The eldest of the ents This forest named after him Fangorn, Treebeard The guardian of his lands The oldest being in Arda So much evil he has seen So much shadows in his dreams With his heart full of grief He trusts and still believes To his kingdom so serene For his entlings and him Hear me my fellow ents It's time to march into the battle The evil has raped our lands too much So many brothers gone by the darkness Every orc under the banner of the hand Will be crushed by our hate and anger Every Uruk who stands against our power Will be teared apart form his life The white hand of Saruman All his glory soon beaten down All the walls and towers of Isengard Destroyed by the entish wrath Die, die uruk-hai! The war is over and all is silent Ravens fly to Isengard Tall creatures with the shape of a tree Marching north with victory Their work is now finished Ents have crushed their enemy Dead uruk's every where Reign of Saruman gone for good

Green shades of the elven wood Covers her face so pale Those eyes like a stars in the night Her hair like a golden flame Gods of wisdom and fortune Have blessed her with their gifts no earthly creature can ever reach A beauty like hers Young elven knights come to her There's so much love to share But still she's awaiting the one The one with a mortal way They meet in the shadows No eyes will see their embrace Again she's awaiting he to come She's so desperate her heart can't lay The evil has lurked in the realm Dark creatures have come with the death When black blade reaches her heart And all the life is gone He has lost his everything Pain and agony, that's all left now on Way of the fate is cruel Through tears he curses his gods With grief he left those woods His sorrow turns to hate By his blood he swears the oath He will fight it's never too late All his sacrifices Can't be for nothing Way of the sword Is the price they'll have to pay Her endless beauty Stays forever in his heart Her soul now in Mandos But his love will never be gone

The Dark Enemy, a god called Morgoth Hide himself in the pit of Angband Evil jewels of his mind took a shape Great wyrms were born When it storms look up to the sky To the battlefields those dragons will fly Mighty claws for their furious fights You shall never forget that sight The winged ones swept the land below With the thundering winds they destroy Those with the breath of fire and flame Burn the earth and all on their way Their strength far greater than man's And their lore grows forever and ever Eyes with a magical gaze When they scream lands and mountains will quake Ride with the dragons high on the sky Fight with your sword and lance In battle, hear their fearless warcry The enemy will have no chance So beautiful in the light of the moon Dance of the wings through the sky Over the green lands below Heading towards eternal grace Forever these dragons will fly Time has no power to touch them Thousands of years they'll sleep like stones In their caves full of treasures and gold Many heroes have faced their destiny Be aware, better leave these worms alone Masters of magic, servants of steel Dragonslayers and dwarven warmachine Armies of man have fought so many years Defending their lands on the battlefields Thanks to jan_z_wang for sending these lyrics.
