The Glorious Battle (Dagor Aglareb) - [EpicFantasySongs]

LYRICS: ------------- [Verse 1] From Angband's gates the Orcs broke free, To sweep the plains from sea to sea, But Fingolfin saw the shadow rise, Beneath the cold and starry skies. [Chorus 1] Dagor Aglareb, glorious flame, The Eldar rose to guard their name, With Fingolfin, Fingon standing tall, They answered Angband's thunderous call, From mountain peaks to western strand, They drove the darkness from the land. [Verse 2] From Dorthonion came Angrod's might, And Aegnor burned with wrath in fight, While Maedhros held the eastern line, His brothers stood in ranks aligned. [Chorus 2] The trumpets called through smoke and fire, The Elven hearts would not tire, Through Ard-galen the armies flew, And blackened hosts before them withdrew, With sword and banner, bright and grand, They broke the armies of Angband's land. [Verse 3] Fingon rode where arrows fell, And crushed the hosts that poured from hell, While Círdan guarded shores afar, Beneath the pale and watching star. [Chorus 3] O glorious day, O shining war, The darkness fled from every shore, The Orcish legions turned in fear, For Elven horns rang bright and clear, The Noldor stood with courage grand, And peace returned to Beleriand. [Verse 4] Morgoth watched behind his gate, His hatred deep, his patience great, For sixty years the siege held strong, While hope and starlight filled with song. [Chorus 4] Dagor Aglareb, bright renown, No shadow then could cast us down, From Mithrim's lakes to Himring's height, The Eldar held the northern night, Though Morgoth waited, cold and grim, The stars still shone above the din. [Final Chorus] Dagor Aglareb, sing the name, Of Elven hearts and glorious flame, Fingolfin's banners filled the sky, And none that day would yield or die, Though Angband dreamed of days to come, The Eldar's victory had been won.
