CIRITH GORGOR LYRICS

1. Intro (Mystic Legends...)

2. Darkness Returns

When the leaves fall from the tree
And the sun shines not as strong as it did before
You can feel the wind is getting colder
The days become shorter, every night

The freezing wind rages through the trees
At this time dark powers unite
We exist to reach our desire
The end of daylight

Darkness has returned...

Lightning in the blackened sky
Black clouds quickly passing by
The moon sometimes appears
Rain falls down like little tears

The summer has disappeared
And winter has returned to earth
Winter's darkness rules every night
The end of daylight

Now the sun is out of sight
Finally darkness has returned
This is what we were waiting for
Our desire, for the dark

3. Winter Embraces Lands Beyond

They ride upon infernal dragons, mighty beasts
And one of them is carrying a lance and a banner
And is chosen under the power of Amaymon
"Art thou Asmoday?"
"And he giveth the ring of virtues and
guardeth the place where treasures lie"

And when the clouds get dark and vast
Our aspirations penetrate infinity
And our voice will be heard and feared
As the gloomy sky turns in a carmine dream

The other one is carrying a viper
And he is a strong and mighty duke
"He shalt declare wittingly how the spirits feel"

And as the sky turns in a carmine dream
The legions of infernal spirits dwell
Ruled by the great king of the east
As Bael speaks he casts his spell
And winter embraces lands beyond

"Art thou Asmoday?"
Under Amaymon they all dwell
And you shall feel their presence
When winter embraces lands beyond

4. Shadows Over Isengard

For the dawn in Isengard is sunless
For the day in Isengard is black
For the evening storms roar crimson
As the night falls with a fiery sky

When the words are spoken
The shadow rises from his tomb
A majestic shade over the world
As I grant thee the key and the spell is broken

We proudly stand at the gates of paradise
Until the evening storms roar crimson
And the night falls with a fiery sky

Shadows over Isengard

5. Perishing Nights (A Nocturnal Gathering)

As the wolves howl
And the moon penetrates the driving clouds
When the trees cradle above a murmerous cascade
Your stature approaches closer and closer
An Osculum Infame

Your scent is still present
In this place so dark, so pure
At a bed of leaves I still see your shadow
In the sinister shade of a horned moon

Ishtar, my witch, my burning Goddess
Every woman bears your mark in her soul
As the rustle of leaves and the rustle of flames
Inflame your transistory (yet eternal) existence

I embrace your light
It shines through the leaves of trees so old
As the beckoning of bells in the freezing night
Makes us forget about the cold

As the wolves howl
And the moon penetrates the driving clouds
When the trees cradle above a murmerous cascade
Your stature disappears slowly and grave
An Osculum Infame
