Shadow and Flame

down under the three peaks of silver
where the endless stairs raise to the top
an ancient bane of flame and shadow
rises until his hour has come
in the depth of the miners ravines
beyond the gates of greed

driven by vengeance and hatred
to destroy the lords of creations
a blaze of infernal power
brings the total annihilation
behold of the abyss of death
behold for the legion of darkness

and then he finally strikes
from the dungeons of doom
shrouded in fire
wielder of the black flamed sword
servant of an ancient world
sworn to the dark

fire, scourge of fire
drums in the deep, messenger of pain
fire, scourge of fire
shadow and flame

a many tongue whip that whines and cracks
is resounding from the tomb
the vanguard of all evil is back
risen from khazad dum

Glowing anger in the catacombs
and the ground shakes under your feet
a roaring that spreads fear and terror
the return of melkors beast
immortal forever in eternal doom
immortal forever flame off udun
