The Script for My Requiem thumb|I'm not a kingI'm just a bardHow can I trustIf there is good and badThe wounds of lifeThey will remainAt least I found a friend I'm not a kingI'm just a bardHow can I trustIf there is good and badThe wounds of lifeThey will remainAt least I found a friend And the Story Ends Nightfall in Middle-Earth (1998) I had a part in everythingTwice I destroyed the light and twice I failedI left ruin behind me when I returnedBut I also carried ruin with meShe, the mistress of her own lust War of Wrath NightfallQuietly it crept in and changed us all. Nightfall How long shall we mourn in the dark?The bliss and the beauty will not returnSay farewell to sadness and griefThough long and hard the road may be Nightfall So I stand stillIn front of the crowdExcited facesWhat will be next?I still don't have a clue The Minstrel I've heard the warning!Well curse my nameI'll keep on laughingNo regretNo regret The Curse of Fëanor The moon, the sign of hopeIt appeared when we left the pain of the ice-desert behindWe faced up to the curse and endured miseryCondemned we areWe brought hope, but also lies, and treachery Face the Truth Oh lord here I standSuddenly everything's goneFor all NoldorFrom now on my lifeIs my gift to youJust lead my fateTo the victoryOf elves Battle of Sudden Flame thumb|Lord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlord Lord of all NoldorA star in the nightAnd a bearer of hopeHe rides into his glorious battle aloneFarewell to the valiant warlord Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill) High's the feeSoon my spirit will returnWelcome dawnYour light will take me home The Eldar Thus he diedNom the WiseLord of the caves and friend of manFair, and nobleMost beloved of the Noldor racePaid the price, he redeemed the oathFarewell my friend, farewell Nom the Wise Out on the waterThe island of the dead that liveThere they dweltUntil they left the world andStill their deeds live forth in songs Out on the Water Now truly I am king of the worldMaster of fateDamned shall thy house beThou shall not question my powerNor shall thou defy me further The Steadfast Thus ends the fifth battleBy the treachery of men the field is lostThe night falls and great is the triumph of evilThe league is brokenThe last vestige of hope lives in the hidden kingOnly he troubles the dark one's mindOnly he could bring ruin to the black foeThough the land lies down in agony and the curse lives onA new star shall ariseAnd a new day shall come, again Final Chapter (Thus Ends...)
