Lauren this album is mindblowingly enjoyable! if you enjoy dream pop, Opeth, 70s prog rock, and Tolkien -- which, I love all those things!! -- this will become a favorite so quickly you won't even question how a 70 minute concept album is this addictively listenable. Favorite track: The Fellowship.

Born in the pits of Isengard Sewn from the Earth Deep in the pits of Isengard Unnatural birth Crawling out of mud Lust for death in their eyes Servants of the white hand Spreading his blight Born in the pits Sewn from the Earth Born in the pits Unnatural birth From our fire falls the ashes of men Dust as we trudge The white hand shall rule us all The white hand will rule us all

Durin's Bane 08:16
A demon of the ancient world I serve at Morgoth’s hand From mountains of Thangorodrim To the fortress of Angband My foes all flee before me My fires scourge the land All bow before the master Of all Beleriand I slumber deep in mountain roots ‘Neath dwarven halls of old My body wreathed in scourging flame My heart is purely cold Digging greedily and deep In search of mountain gold Awakened from my slumber In fury I am bold The ground beneath me booms and quakes As dwarven fears take hold Aided by the orcs and trolls Those of Morgoth’s fold I glory in the slaughter As I did in times of old The massacre of Moria Is how it shall be told My piercing gaze of fire Leather wings of black I lead my hordes to battle With my hordes attack Elf and dwarf and man All melt upon my blade With sword and whip of fire I am known as Durin’s Bane The bridge beneath my feet Collapsed into the air But with my malice whip of flame The Istari I ensnared We fell for an eternity An endless cavern void Orange and red alight the rocks Deeper down we soared A poison sea of cold below Doused my coat of flame An iron grip around my foe Magnified my rage My fury not yet spent Our battle yet raged on Apart his flesh I rent With tooth and horn and claw Through ancient dwarven halls Sculpted long ago To ragged mountain tops Blanketed by snow The clamoring of battle Broke through glass and stone An avalanche of might and rage Shattered horn and bone A conflict for the ages A clash of Maiar might Victory awaits me Triumph in my sight My heart looked back to ages past The name I would forsake No longer titled Vanima I am Durin’s Bane

Wraiths are at our backs Riding mounts of black Though the road is long Further we walk on Through the mountain pass Deep in elven lands Our power not yet gone Further we walk on We walk on

The embers burned so brightly We were stuck in the path of them Clinging to each other blindly No chance to run and yet I hadn't asked to be here On this dark adventure We knew our time was running out Lost in the eyes of the flame Amber rage sat below Above us wind of ash Masking our fate unknown I didn't want to be here I thought of my home I knew my time was running out In our most desperate time of need Gwaihir will carry us from The burning cliffside And certain death On eagle’s wings we’ll fly The smoke began to choke us One step and we'd fall Down the burning cliffside They must’ve heard our call I knew I had to be here On this dark adventure Could our time be running out? In our most desperate time of need Gwaihir carried us from The burning cliffside And certain death On eagle’s wings we fly On eagle’s wings we fly

The Evenstar 09:10
All I see is death You'll never love again Wait to die, here alone That is why, you must come If death is what waits for me I must board upon the sea Eternal life we’ll share I'm destined to see What's there, here I come On the edge, not quite undone All I see is my future without Full of regret, of that I've no doubt Shadows casted the darkness throughout Death will come And she'll go, cast love aside For now, goodbye What will you do when he takes his last breath? Unable to cope with his untimely death
11.
You have been brought Before me Defy me not Or death you may yet crave I am The Black Foe Almighty One Turn your eyes Toward the ones you love My malice knows No bounds Hatred flows within Darkest thoughts pursue Shadows blind your eyes To the hearts of mortal men You speak in tongues of lies Your soul knows only death Your spirit shall be bound A destiny of chains Sky of black storm clouds Upon your final fate Take your curséd throne And look upon Those you have Delivered to me There is no escape Not even death will save you A terrible curse has befallen you Stand by the wayside as you watch The most terrible thing you’ve ever seen Lingering darkness has begun Pain slowly spreading Their death is near Anglachel Anglachel Set alight in the storm An eternal friend, slain by my hand Beleg brought to his end Anglachel Anglachel In a shallow grave he rests Onwards I go, towards my grave From now on I am Master of Fate
12.
Pathways we walked, leaves fell like snow Passages lost, led to our home Ages gone by, swallowed by sea Evergreen memory Shores of white A far green country calling us away Beings of light Sins forgiven, land for us to stay Tragedy slept upon a green hill Rain wore at the fields nestled between We wait, as it does still Closer to us yet to be seen Amber flames suspended in fog Floating above us like those before Sorrow casts it shadow Tragedy waits for us no more
