The Last City of Light

[Verse] Beneath the eaves of Idril’s grace Where the white towers pierce the space Glimmering in gold Our haven stood Love and laughter in the sacred wood [Verse 2] But shadows grew in Morgoth's hold Whispers cold of days foretold Armies marched beneath the moon Doomed as autumn turns to June [Chorus] Oh Gondolin In twilight's breath Your beauty haunts Now laid to rest Dreams and songs of love remain Echoes in the wind and rain [Verse 3] The horns of wrath They called at dawn The warriors clad In silver drawn Ecthelion’s song And Glorfindel’s pride Battled on ‘gainst all divides [Verse 4] Yet stone could not withstand the flame Nor hearts of light quench darkest shame Flames and tears A city's plight Love lost within that fateful night [Chorus] Oh Gondolin In twilight's breath Your beauty haunts Now laid to rest Dreams and songs of love remain Echoes in the wind and rain
