Where Daylight Dies
Embers of Lost Majesty: Dwarrowdelf's Melancholic Ode
Lyrics
What was once a shining beacon
Reflects on something that used to shine brightly.
Is lost in the gloomy deeps
That brightness is now obscured in deep darkness.
Tales of wonder and majesty
Stories of awe-inspiring events and grandeur.
Of kings on the carven stone
Legends of royal figures depicted on crafted stone.
Our right to rule was hewn from the mountain
The right to govern was obtained through labor from the mountain.
cnd ended by the terror from on high
It was destroyed by a terrifying force from above.
Now the sun sets on the mountain
The sunset metaphorically represents the decline of power or glory.
Our hallowed halls no longer shine
The once-revered halls have lost their brilliance.
cs we wander in the wilderness
Wandering aimlessly in a desolate place.
Our hearts are starved of light
Emptiness and lack of hope prevail.
Fear the horror deep within, death incarnate
Warning of a profound, terrifying evil - death personified.
c terror, wreathed in blackened flame; fear Durin's bane
Describing a fearsome entity wreathed in dark flames, specifically fearing Durin's bane.
Brothers take arms
Calling for unity among brethren.
cnd march!
Urging to prepare and advance together.
To where daylight dies
Heading towards a place of inevitable demise or loss of hope.
cvenge all that we have lost
Seeking retribution for everything that's been taken away.
cnd fight!
Encouragement to battle against impending darkness.
Where daylight dies
Reiterating the location or state of hopelessness and despair.
