The Sack of Nargothrond
The palace concealed within inaccessible caverns has been invaded:
The precious gem has been exposed. King
You would not shut the doors of your
Fortress, and it has been thrown open
Ominous clamours, breaking the silence
Growling explosion of blazing violence
Hungry tormentors, vultures of plunder
Harvest of our, obstinate blunder
Inside the caves the assailers advance
Get ready for the execution
Come, see the grandness of Nargothrond
Upon the verge of dissolution
Merciless killings, fury increasing
Shadows descending, sudden and freezing
Among the ashes, our feet stumble
Under the deathblow, tall pillars crumble
Inside the caves the assailers advance
Get ready for the execution
Come, see the grandness of Nargothrond
Upon the verge of dissolution
There is a new master for your treasure;
What you rejoiced in has been laid waste
And now your kingdom has become the
Kingdom of wickedness and desolation
Inside the caves the assailers advance
Get ready for the execution
Come, see the grandness of Nargothrond
Upon the verge of dissolution
