I've heard there was a secret forge
Where you produced a mighty sword
Because of lies that Melkor used to dismay
You crafted helms with plumes of red
In jealous pride, your madness spread
But all you did was herald NoldolantëNoldolantë
Noldolantë
Noldolantë
NoldolantëYou yearned for freedom to abide
In open lands you'd been denied
Because the Valar used the light to hold sway
But now the Trees have fallen dark
They seek to take your final spark
Your broken heart became the NoldolantëNoldolantë

NoldolantëYou love was strong but deep you mourned
The memory of a mother scorned
Your father slain, and many more in that bay
You made an oath, you spoke a vow
You had to see it through somehow
It's a cold and it's a cruel NoldolantëNoldolantë

NoldolantëYou let no doom prevent your path
Not blood of kin nor sea of wrath
For fear of treason, you were first to betray
A brother’s loyalty you spurned
For those you left you'd not return
But you could not escape the NoldolantëNoldolantë

Noldolantë
NoldolantëIn battle fell, consumed by fire
You left no body for a pyre
And with your dying words a curse you laid
For on your sons you set a snare
That none of them could hope to bear
The bitter fall recalled in NoldolantëNoldolantë
