While the Gods Laugh - Númenor

While the gods laugh I shall stand alone

Dreaming dark dreams in darkness and cold

Maelstrom of passions in that hidden sea

Whose waters of all-time lap the coasts of me

Hail the ancient kings of Melnibone!

Thy towers shall crumble down forevermore

Awake the kings of ruins, the great Dragonlords

Thy towers shall lay in ruins and the broken swords

Hail the ancient kings of Tanelorn!

Thy towers shall crumble down forevermore

In darkness let me dwell, the ground shall sorrow be;

The roof despair to bar all cheerful light from me:

The walls of marble black that moistened still shall weep;

My music hellish jarring sounds to banish friendly sleep

Silver, dark towers rise towards the sky

Where the white dragons soar high

Seas and oceans between the worlds dwell

Great white ships there in silence sail

Forever and ever…
