Lyrics
I dare you across the bridge
Challenging someone to cross a metaphorical bridge to truly see the ruler they consider a witch
to truly behold the king you call a witch
Highlighting the discrepancy between the king's title and the perception of being a witch
your foolish ways of your mortal days
Criticizing the flawed ways of mortals, hinting at their impending downfall
are numbered as your kingdoms perish in flames
Suggesting the imminent destruction of kingdoms and their finite existence
To my houses of pain i will take you
Expressing an intention to lead someone to places of suffering and torment
to my dungeons forsaken by hope
Referring to dungeons devoid of hope, symbolizing despair and misery
Standing like a fallen star
Describing someone once esteemed, now fallen and overshadowed
under the clouding darkness
Emphasizing a dark and foreboding atmosphere
the horrid mouth of oblivion awaits
Foretelling a grim fate for the young king
for the young king to come forth
Referencing the impending arrival of the young king
o lord of the majestic white tower
Addressing a lord associated with a majestic white tower
beside you your friends and knights cower
Depicting companions and knights intimidated in the face of destiny
your fate sealed by your arrogance
Condemning the king's destiny due to arrogance
a lesser son of greater fathers
Implying the king as a lesser figure compared to illustrious ancestors
Storms of the earth arise
Eliciting the emergence of turmoil and chaos from the earth
may the wind heed my command
Requesting the wind's compliance to bring about change
come, come to mordor we will take you
Inviting someone to a place associated with darkness and decay
now your tale and your bloodline is through
Declaring the end of the king's lineage and story
There the skies wept
Describing a sorrowful scene where nature reflects grief
and flowers withered
Symbolizing the decline of life through withering flowers
poisoned were the wells
Indicating contamination of essential resources by dark magic
by black spells
Highlighting the malevolent influence of black spells
the wind went on wailing
Depicting the mournful cry of the wind over troubled lands
over troubled lands sailing
Portraying the wind carrying fading cries of distress
carried the fading screams
Signifying the anguish and terror of the inhabitants
as the gates swallowed all light
Describing the engulfment of light as despair takes over
Your feeble mortal form
Describing the king's weakened mortal body
now wishing it was never born
Expressing regret and longing for non-existence
your soul shall be taken of your body
Implying the separation of soul from body
there naked and defiled
Portraying the king's vulnerability and humiliation
shall you stand in front of the lidless eye
Referring to a powerful and all-seeing entity
To my houses of pain i will take you
Reiterating the intention to lead someone to suffering
to my dungeons forsaken by hope
Emphasizing the hopelessness of dungeons
Storms of the earth arise
Evoking natural upheaval and chaos
may the wind heed my command
Seeking control over the elements
come, come to mordor we will take you
Inviting someone to a place associated with darkness
now your tale and your bloodline is through
Declaring the end of the king's legacy
Fallen has the king of men
Describing the downfall of the king
dragged into the nazguls den
Depicting the king's capture in a place of evil influence
into the tower of witchery
Referring to a place of sorcery and darkness
were no one will ever hear his plea
Portraying the hopelessness of the king's situation
