In my opinion one of the best Blind Guardian songs ever, and one
of the few that actually sounds good with chords on an acoustic
guitar. Here's how I play it...
Enjoy!
Intro:
No sign of life did flicker
In floods of tears she cried
"All hope's lost it can't be undone
They're wasted and gone"
"Save me your speeches
I know (They blinded us all)
What you want
You will take it away from me
Take it and I know for sure
The light she once brought in
Is gone forevermore"
Like sorrowful seaguls they sang
"(We're) lost in the deep shades
The misty cloud brought
(A wailing when beauty was gone
Come take a look at the sky)
Monstrous it covered the shore
Fearful into the unknown"
Quietly it crept in new horror
Insanity reigned
It spilled the first blood
When the old king was slain
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Quietly it crept in and changed us all
Nightfall
Immortal land lies down in agony
"How long shall we
Mourn in the dark
the bliss and the beauty
Will not return
Say farewell to sadness and grief
Though long and hard the road may be"
But even in silence I heard the words | This part doesn't really have
"An oath we shall swear | any chords it's basically just
By the name of the one | the lead guitar over the singing
Until the world's end | but if you anyone figures anything
It can't be broken" | out be sure to let me know :)
Just wondering how | By the way if you want the lead
I can still hear these voices inside | check out the mighty 5-star tab
The doom of the Noldor drew near | for Nightfall here on UG.
The words of a banished king
"I swear revenge"
Filled with anger aflamed our hearts
Full of hate full of pride
We screamed for revenge
chorus
"Vala he is that's what you said
Then your oath's been sworn in vain
(But) freely you came and
You freely shall depart
(So) never trust the northern winds
Never turn your back on friends"
"Oh I'm heir of the high lord!"
"You better don't trust him"
The enemy of mine
Isn't he of your kind and
Finally you may follow me
Farewell he said
chorus
Back to where it all began
Back to where it all began
