Tracks



01. Usvainen Rhûn (Intro)

Pinnan alla
Varjoissa Rhûnin
Pohjalla hiekassa
Tumman veden huomassa
Lepää voima sankaruuden
Valossa
Kajossa uuden aamun
Usva väistyy
Häipyy mailleen
Piiloihinsa
Miekka nousee syvyydestä
On kolmas aika auringon

02. Storm Of The Blades

Music by Jyri Vahvanen and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Rely on your strength
Rely on your wits
Dare to fail and
You are no use to me
There won't be a time
There won't be a place
Where I never could
End your days

The hour of the battle
The storm of the blades
Choosing the legends
The heroic names
Out from the shadows to fierce them all
To carry the signs of the warlord

Blood on your axe
Blood on your blade could be
Key to the life
You thought you won't see
Same to me if you will
Beg or if you'll cry
Fight for yourself
Or prepare to die

Blood on my axe
Blood on my blade
Gods of war will remember my name
For the battle and heat
For the victory feast
This is the finest day

As your king
I demand you to fulfill this task
Show us you are worthy
And return with honour and pride
In your heart
If you should survive
You can come back and
Claim you reward
Bring us victory and I will make sure
That you will regain your freedom
Once again

The hour of the battle
The storm of the blades
Choosing the legends
The heroic names
Out from the shadows to fierce them all
To carry the signs of the warlord

03. Ghân Of The Woods

Music by Jussi Rautio and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Moves of the deer
Senses of the beast
Ancient people among the trees
Soil of their land
The way of the wind
Throne and the walls for the Woses

Be gone Orc-folk
Ruin Gorgûn
Be gone Troll-folk
Kill Gorgûn

Gold from the sun
The wealth of the clan
Riches of soul for everyone
Rivers and lakes
The silvering moon
Kingdom of pearls their woods

Drain the hope from the souls
Of Orcish hordes when they are dead
Drain the life from their own earth
From the stars, from every birth

Druadan chieftain
Ghân-buri-Ghân
Wise from his mind
Pure from his heart
Druadan chieftain
Ghân of the woods
Fighting the wolves
Fighting the Gorgûn

Mother earth
Caring for her child
Forest folk
Her untamed kind

Druadan chieftain
Ghân-buri-Ghân
Wise from his mind
Pure from his heart
Druadan chieftain
Ghân of the woods
Fighting the wolves
Fighting the Gorgûn

04. Gwaith-i-Mírdain

Music by Jussi Rautio and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Thousand years of peace
They lived together
No grudge nor greed
Without was heavenly better
Dwarven artisans
The greatest Elven smiths
Crowded the mountain halls
And city of Ost-in-Edhil

People of the Jewel-smiths
Gwaith-i-Mírdain
People of the Jewel-smiths
Gwaith-i-Mírdain

Thousand years of peace
They lived together
No grudge nor greed
Without was heavenly better
Two lores as one
Aroused the days of wonder
Casted the spells and charms
Unleashed the power of gods

Once again they'll reveal
Their souls
Once again they'll see
Beyond the higher arts
By their hands were made
All the things
Crown of the jewels
Enchantment of the Rings

05. Trollshaws

Music by Jyri Vahvanen and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Trollshaws
Short way to the East
Trollshaws
The land of the beast

You may hide on the hills
Lurk into the woods
We have already smelt your thrills
You can pray, you can run,
For us it's more fun, we will crush you
And steal your goods

Woods in the North
By the Great East Road
Hideout for the brutes
Grave for the fools

Trollshaws
Short way to the East
Trollshaws
The land of the beast

Imprudent ranger will be in danger
Wiser one chose another road
Mindless adventurer, hero or rogue
Try to slain me and they'll give you gold

They will tear your Elven ears
Dwarven heads cut with their beard
Daring men shall run like hell
Deficient Hobbits eaten as well

Castles of Arnor
Deserted by wars
The ancient ruins
Lair for the grunts

They will tear your Elven ears
Dwarven heads cut with their beard
Daring men shall run like hell
Foolish Hobbits eaten as well

Goliaths of Sauron
Vagabonds of the night
Denizens of Trollshaws
Slayers of knights

06. Elves Of Lúva

Music by Jussi Rautio and Kaisa Jouhki
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
From the shore I have known for long
I heard enchanting songs

Meadow was dancing
By the flute and the harp
The water was silent and so calm

I walked to the path across the sea
I walked to the place ever unseen
Into the fields and the streams
Beyond the land of the dreams

Brief moment it took
Then faded away
I followed their song
Followed their way
Last sight of the sun
Until eventide
Showed me the road
Served me as guide

I walked to the path across the sea
I walked to the place ever unseen
Passing the walls, passing the signs
Opening hidden doors of my mind

On the shore I have known for long
I sang enchanting songs

07. Valier - Queens Of The Valar

Music by Jyri Vahvanen and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
One with the light of the stars
Woke Firstborns of Ilúvatar
One with the trees and the green
Planted all the first seeds
Hope for the others grief
She will come in misery
Ever-Young cares the blooms
Her sister caused the sun and the moon

Valier, Queens of the Valar
Sisters and wives of divine
Maid singers of the world
Composers, creators

One with the laugh and the dance
Spirit maiden of the woodlands
And one with the gift to heal
Gardens of Lórien her realm
Weaver from Timeless Halls
Cast the fate of the other dawn
All the stories within time
In her cloths weaved with pride

Highest of Ainur in Eã
First from Eru's hands
Masters of Menel
Almighty of Arda
Valier, Queens of the Valar

Seven mothers of the earth
Concerned with life, tears and time
Pure beings of great beauty
Loving hearts, joy and majesty

Varda, Yavanna, Nienna
Vána, Nessa, Este, Vaire

Highest of Ainur in Eã
First from Eru's hands
Masters of Menel
Almighty of Arda
Valier, Queens of the Valar

Seven mothers of the earth
Concerned with life, tears and time
Pure beings of great beauty
Loving hearts, joy and majesty

Valier, Queens of the Valar
Sisters and wives of divine
Maid singers of the world
Composers, creators

08. Thousand Caves

Music by Jussi Rautio and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Elven underworld
Colours of the stars
Their dens seal the love
That lies above
Elven underworld
So far from the stars
Their dens seal the love
For the night and the skies

Woods and wild
Air and light
Bones of the earth
Crafted by the Dwarves
Legacy of Naugrim

Caves of Menegroth
Dwarven illusion
All the cold and grey
Covered with green
Caves of Menegroth
Dwarven illusion
Walls of golden fey
Cover their realm

For once their eyes can see
The same harmony
For once not to care the race
Beards or ears, the brothers face

Hammers of Khazâd
Shaped the moutainside
Blasted like a lightning
The skill, the neat, the pride
Legacy of Naugrim

Elven underworld
Colours of the stars
Their dens seal the love
That lies above
Thousand caves its stalk
Cursed by Sindar
All the beauty's gone
Under the waves

09. Cloaked In Her Unlight

Music by Jussi Rautio and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Mother of the everdark
Wearing the cloak of shadows
The skin of the unlight
Wedding gown from fallen stars

In Arda obeying none
Spinning the web of light undone
Singing her silent song
End the world and the sun

Queen of the last days
Rose from the abyss
The vilest creature ever been
On the soil from the Great Song

In Arda obeying none
Whirling the clouds of light undone
Singing her silent song
For the new world of hers to come

Devourer of the Jewels
Destroyer of the light
Deadly web of the underworld
Growing her endless might
Terror for the one
Master who stands alone
Poison from her veins
To spoil the earth, death's embrace
Forever hunger for more
Known world under her net
Assault against the Dark Creator
The power of gods she bears

Mother of the everdark
Wearing the cloak of shadows
The skin of the unlight
Wedding gown from fallen stars
So spoiled by the master thief
Who shall fall in the Northern war

10. Of Orcs And Elves

Music by Jyri Vahvanen and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Light seers fair and proud
First borns noble crowd
Open hearts uncorrupted
Maintain eternal tranquillity

Beast, filthy kind
Sick soul, broken mind
Light burns their blackened eyes
Spoiled blood, impure heart

See their purest forms
Hear high minded thoughts
Denote the total contrast of
The race made by Morgoth

Stretched elven bodies
Torture pestilential
Dark side of the distant stars
Unnatural creation

Ironic how they were taken
So far from each other
Deepest dark, merest light
From the one and the same awakening

Cunning was the plan of Morgoth
Those foolish did all the work
He came and culled the harvest
Bred the fruits for his purpose
Unaware folk of the stars
Forced into wounds and dreadful scars
To raid the lands under his summons
Destroy the race that they once were

Light seers fair and proud
First borns noble crowd
Open hearts uncorrupted
Maintain eternal tranquillity

See their purest forms
Hear high minded thoughts
Denote the total contrast of
The race made by Morgoth

11. Touch Of Green And Gold

Music by Jyri Vahvanen and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
In the ancient woodland
Meet the oldest man
With a huge smile on his face
For joy and peace he stands

Boundaries of his green kingdom
Shall not be passed by the evil
Mastered with the might erstwhile
Meek is the stranger who crosses the line

Meet the maiden young and fair
Bearing beauty so rare
Even elves would praise her grace
Daughter of Bonfire Glade
Guards of birds, streams and herbs
Knock on their door disturbs
Blithe old gaffer and lovely maid
Share their hearty place

Iarwain Ben-adar
From the early days
Forgotten demigod
Or elder insane?

Pointy hat with feather
Bobbing around
Leather boots so huge
Coloured with yellow
Jolly tunes and rhymes
Sang out loud
The whole entity
Cheer and mellow

Touch of green, touch of gold
Their honest emotion
Through your heart,
Through your soul
Their purest devotion
Touch of green, touch of gold
Their dearest creation
Through your heart,
Through your soul
Their greenest carnation

Iarwain Ben-adar
From the early days
Forgotten demigod
Or elder insane?

Boundaries of his green kingdom
Shall not be passed by the evil
Mastered with the might erstwhile
Meek is the stranger who crosses the line

12. Pallando - Forgotten Wizards I

Music by Jyri Vahvanen & Jussi Rautio and Battlelore
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
None amongst the living
Shall wield the power
Shall know the deepest secrets
Inside his mind
None amongst the living
Will foil his plans
Will follow his final path
Into the shadows

Gone by the Eastern wilds
Unnoticed of the great five
He was the silent one
He who comes afar
Istari, Ithryn Luin
Weakest was his heart

None amongst the dead
Shall have their peace
Shall get their freedom
Dominance of soulless
None amongst the dead
Will deny allegiance
Will doubt his sway
Over, decease

Great power comes with chains
Fear of falling looms
It can be an eternal curse
Beware or it's your turn

Gone by the Eastern wilds
Unnoticed of the great five
He was the silent one
He who comes afar
Istari, Ithryn Luin
Weakest was his heart

13. Gollum's Cry (Outro)

Music by Maria
Lyrics by Jyri Vahvanen
Weakest of moments are these
The choking hold of insanity
Loses its grip and cuts me so deep
With the knife of clear memories
Of that innocent past which didn't last
Oh, No! No!
The precious of mine
For you I would die
My love, my life, my everything
For you I cry

But not anymore
The things will get better
I will come to you
And soon we'll be together
Forever...

14. Elessar's Call

The morning wind brings the feeling
They have been waiting for
Cloak of depressing clouds
Prevent the light
So many hopes and prayers
For this moment not to come
Earth whispers a silent warning
Something dark has awoken
Dawn of the battle approaching
What can save them now?

To cast the hope
To light the flame
True believing in better days
At last the path is chosen to go
No more running away

Demand the dead betrayals
To fill their oath
For the final battlemarch
There's just one more road
Once was broken the sword
Of the newborn lord
Reforged is the blade
For the glory in the battlefield
Chance to return the honour
Eternal curse will be gone

To honour the fate
To wield the sword
To claim the father's throne
At last the path is chosen to go
No more running away

Gift of the beauty immortal
Glow of the thousand moons
Princess and Queen, Evenstar
Gift of the beauty immortal
The One for Elessar

15. Alatar - Forgotten Wizards II

Alatar
Ithryn Luin
The fallen one
Alatar

The chosen servants
Sent from the isle of Aman
Wearing the colours
Bearing counsel and aid
Alatar the noble Istar
Higher of Blue Wizards
One of the genuine three
The counter of history

Path of his led to the Eastern realms
Plans ill natured all concealed
He was lost among the others
Lust of power and dominion

The son of the Hunter
Who failed and forsake his task
One vision in sight
For the others he's blind
Alatar the fallen Wizard
Denies the lords, Valar
He followed the easiest way
No more gods to obey

Task divine forgotten
Into the realm of darkness
Fallen one will never rise
Before the dawn of demise

16. Dwimmerlaik

Curse you foul beast!
Surrender or face my blade
Curse you foul beast!
Your armies will meet their fate
Against your hordes until they fall
Heroes of Rohan ride to last breath
Of your orcs and your trolls
This is their death

Fool of a man
Do not try to tempt me
Mortal powers of yours
Are not nearly enough
My blessing so cruel
Will be your doom
Far beyond is the dawn
Of my death

Curse you foul beast!
Past are the years of the grief
Curse you foul beast!
The end is to come for the One Ring
Your abyssic eyes fooled your mind
I'm no man, that I can tell
Feel my sword the time is to die
Maid of Rohan will break thy spell

Be damned vile being
Enchantment of the ages
Vanquished and gone
Now my spirit flies free
Brief moment I'll see
The most beautiful spark of the light
To eternal damnation
My soul shall flee

Can't you see the eve of your defeat
Can't you see when your enemy
Crumbles down the walls of yours
Slays the reign and takes your throne

Witch-king of Angmar, Dwimmerlaik
Warlord from the North came and tried to
Fight with the heir of Eorl's tribe
By the daughter of Rohan he died

New day without the fear
Gone are the tears
No more guarding the skies
Words of hope without the lies
