(©Mordoroth 2010)</p>

Dead leaves fall<br>
With the sun and its fading light<br>
Faith fails all<br>
Men of twelve fighting for their lives<br>
Morgoth roars<br>
Sending Sauron to find them all<br>
Axe and sword<br>
Evil march into war<br>
At night, beasts of the darkest flame<br>
Walks the earth, marching to the drum of war<br>
To find the land, that long laid untamed<br>
And the path, that none have treaded before<br>
Even in the wildest wild, evil will find…<br>
Nowhere can you hide, from the lord of darkness eyes<br>
Eyes search wide<br>
black birds his airborne spies<br>
bloodthirsty wolves<br>
in the cover of shadow moves<br>
dead or alive<br>
have Sauron's hunters found his wife<br>
doubtful mind<br>
does she await him to arrive<br>
Light, shines through a windowpane<br>
And within, a female worn with grief<br>
Eilinel, stands there bleak and pale<br>
As Gorlim screams her image fades<br>
Now ensnared by enemy, nothing he told<br>
Hidden still in secrecy, the untamed land of old<br>
Face to face with burning eyes, and Sauron's smile<br>
Gorlim wanted Eilinel, or nothing would he tell<br>
So shall it be, a life for a life, a small price,<br>
for so great a treachery<br>
For you see, by wizardry, alive she seemed,<br>
now you will meet, death sets you free<br> 
Treachery<br>
the lair of men was now revealed<br>
at break of dawn<br>
Orcs arrived to slay them all<br>
Blood runs red<br>
Swords cut through unarmed flesh<br>
Sun turned dead<br>
arrows pierced through helmless heads<br>
Beren, son of Barahir<br>
was sent to spy, on the enemy<br>
Then a wraith, across the water came<br>
And Gorlim spoke, of his treachery<br>
a cairn of stones he rose, and oath he swore<br>
that the lord of Men, didn't die in vain<br>
Vengeance sworn<br>
Pursuing them to Rivil's Well<br>
glory of war<br>
a souvenir was held up high<br>
a human hand<br>
that bore a ring he knew so well<br>
of elven kind<br>
a gift from Felagund to Barahir<br>
Surprise, Beren attacked their chief<br>
Slit his throat and restored the ring<br>
And in the dark, he fled far away<br>
Dorthonion, was soiled with Morgoth's rage<br>
In solitude the years passed by, desolate and harsh<br>
Climbing into Doriath, the Hidden Kingdoms path</p>
