clamavi de profundis - the claiming of negankerdak lyrics

…another there is i must employ
the world to save or to destroy…

…yet the light must enter the darkest lair
so to banish the lurking shadows there…

[rilfar]
from the fire of creation, by irna made
when her deepest foundations had been laid
[turarel]
the earthwrought sword + whither came this hour
when the unforged fell unto vorda’s power?
[tara]
from carrak to delfield lies desolation
in bitter thralldom, the dwarven nation
[nergalin]
in the grasp of arnen, vordan possessed
lightcatchеr endures its darkest tеst
[aerial]
the dwarves built a tower for arnen’s throne
of serpentine light, black diamond and stone
[dinach]
all living things cower and are grieved
by this site of gloom, of vorda conceived
[orla]
who, then, can challenge this power severe
one whom even the guardians fear? [
rilfar]
this task falls to one of mortal birth
for the unforged belongs unto the earth
events did not pass the way i intended
yet by whose hand can this be amended?
[treal + unheard by the other guardians]
the good dwarf though wounded lives now afar
the sword’s fate no longer on mordaar
mentor to one who now roams the earth scarred
the lost one, my secret whom i guard

at the turn of the year, when no moon shone
a wanderer lost of a race unknown
sought out the watcher, in his evil tower
voicing a challenge to his ominous power:

[the lost one]
fell+born son of darksome shalda
i bear the flame of lightsome malda!
by long roads i come, to free this fair land
and the sword you have taken, vordan hand!

the seye’lahn approached, a giant and strong
in each hand a sword, black+shadowed and long
an ancient bastion, unbeatable, bold
arnen gave voice through the darkness and cold:

[arnen & vordan]
by the sword earthwrought, and by shadow+bound
your bones will lie deep underground
you are a fool to defy vorda’s design
on the sword unforged + it is mine!
as unforged met the wanderer’s eyes
voice in his mind did arise:

[negankerdak]
along dark paths, foundations shaken
ten thousand lives i have thus taken
yet honor true i would rather see
in your hand, lost one, my destiny
but in me lies a doom twofold
as edges twain does my form hold:
for evil will no more hold sway
yet two shall fall on my last day

from the dawn of time it had been intended
when the lost one’s eyes had apprehended
the lightcatcher’s blade, a new light it caught
reflecting the fire of the moon that was not
blinding the watcher, his foul grip it burned
and to the lost one’s hand negankerdak turned
yet arnen, by the dark vordan driven
lunged forward, and the radiance was riven
by shadow+bound’s lash on negankerdak
in maelstrom fury no eye could track

the clash of black diamond and maligned steel
shook tower and earth like a thunder peal
but naught could dispel negankerdak’s light
in the hand of the one who held it by right
with luminous power unparalleled
the lost one in victory his opponent felled
shadow+bound vanquished, arnen defeated
the vordan oppressor in fear retreated

the dwarves now free, their home reclaimed
and mordaar restored, a hero they named
(negankerdak + rilfar)
(negankerdak + turarel)
the guardians beheld, with great delight
negankerdak’s dawn o’er the ernaan night
(negankerdak + dinach)
(negankerdak + aerial)
and in the light of the moon none else could see
the lost one ventured forth, the world to free
(negankerdak + nergalin)
(negankerdak + orla)
(negankerdak + tara)
(negankerdak + treal)
