Fall of Gil-galad

This is the song of a band named Anois. And the text is from Lord of the Rings.
It`s a poem about the last high king of the Noldor.

(c) Tolkien and Anois

Narya92 is my name on MyVideo.de


Text:
Gil-galad was an elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
The last whose realm was fair and free
Between the mountains and the sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
His shining helm afar was seen;
The countless stars of heaven's field
Were mirrored in his silver shield.

But long ago he rode away,
And where he dwelleth none can say;
For into darkness fell his star
In Mordor where the shadows are.

he was slain with elendil at delgorad field( the battle at the beginning of lotr film) ....where they fought sauron and deafeted him but not the ring....! Ive heard from somwhere that he went alone with a small army in mordor for unkown reason and he did never return but it seems Im wrong about that(I guess) XD

One word: Google

The Battle of Dagorlad lasted several months until the Alliance breached the Black Gate and laid seige to Barad-dur. The seige lasted seven years until Sauron enaged the forces personally at Orodruin. Here, Gil-galad and Elendil were both killed and Sauron was finally overthrown.

@Elainiwen lol np man!....<3...My fav elf ever was Fingolfin. Dude has quite some guts for dueling Morgoth 1v1...even the orcs dare not to mock him after his defeat...

[julianhuan]

@Elainiwen What does bravery has to do with my comment lol...And Feanor IS valiant and brave. Valiant and brave enough to challenge the will of the Valar, bring an army to Beleriand to battle Angband forces, fighting outnumbered against several Balrogs, and more. Feanor is no less valiant than any of his (half)brethen. But he IS more vengeful and much more selfish.

[Elainiwen]

@julianhuan Gil-Galad is more like the line of Fingolfin -> Fingon, Turgon, Aredhel, (Argon in the later scripts) ... they're all valiant, goes in the family.

for all who want to sing it; Gil-galad was an Elven-king. Of him the harpers sadly sing: the last whose realm was fair and free between the Mountains and the Sea. His sword was long, his lance was keen, his shining helm afar was seen; the countless stars of heaven's field were mirrored in his silver shield. But long ago he rode away, and where he dwelleth none can say; for into darkness fell his star in Mordor where the shadows are.
