Cruachan - The Fall Of Gondolin
The Most Beautiful City Built On The Middle-earth,
It's Splendour Was Highly Acclaimed,
The Noldor Elf Grew Mighty And Strong,
In The Land Were Turgon Reigned,
Then Tuor Was Sent By Ulmo-
The Lord Of The Ocean And Sea,
To Tell The People Of Gondolin,

Gothmog Drove The Dragons Into The Cities Heart,
Orcs And Noldor Fell Under The Confusion.
The Cold-drakes Began To Tear The Streets Apart.
The Noldor Began To Realise The Battle They'd Lose.
The Most Beautiful City Built On Middle-earth,
It's Splendour Was Highly Acclaimed'
The Noldor Elf Grew Mighty And Strong.
In The Land Were Turgon Reigned,
