Cruachan - The Fall Of Gondolin Lyrics

Send "The Fall Of Gondolin" ringtone to your cell

The most beautiful city built on the middle-earth

It's splendour was highly acclaimed

The noldor elf grew mighty and strong

In the land were turgon reigned

Then tuor was sent by ulmo-

The lord of the ocean and sea

To tell the people of gondolin

Prepare to fight or flee.

But turgon he was stubborn

"that will i not do!".

He had grown to love his city

And the terror of morgoth he knew.

The city was discovered

And morgoth sent his legions

Orc warriors with the fire-drakes

Led by the balrog demons.

They appeared before the gates and quickly the gates fell

The way was now clear through the elven halls

The orcs of such hatred poured into the breach

With scimitars they stabbed both man and beast.

The noldor elf advanced with hammer of wrath

And the kindred of the tree-bravely they fought

The blows from their hammers the dint of their clubs

The orcs fell like leaves but this was not enough.

The lord of the balrogs gathered his demons

And made for the folk of the hammer.

They fled in terror rather than of craft

Down in the plain they all gathered.

But a fire-drake was loosed upon them-

In the house of the hammer they died.

Still it is sung that each elf of the hammer

Took the lives of seven orcs to pay for their own.

Gothmog drove the dragons into the cities heart

Orcs and noldor fell under the confusion.

The cold-drakes began to tear the streets apart.

The noldor began to realise the battle they'd lose.

The most beautiful city built on middle-earth

It's splendour was highly acclaimed'

The noldor elf grew mighty and strong.

In the land were turgon reigned

But now it lay akin to ruins

As the fire devoured its insides

The last hope for the elves who lived-

Was to run and flee and hide.

But turgon was a noble king-

"that will i not do!"

He stayed to die with the city

The only one he knew.
