Did you ever hear the tragedy of Feanor the Sprit of Fire?

I love these videos

Condemned we AHHHH!

"This I say to you, lord, with the eyes of death: though we part here for ever, and I shall not look on your white walls again, from you and from me a new star shall arise. Farewell!" - Huor to Turgon in Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Fifth Battle: Nirnaeth Arnoediad"

"Then rightly you gave the name to the youngest of your children, and Umbarto 'the Fated' was its true form. Fell and fey are you become." Rip Telufinwë (Amrod)

"I have not rejected the Valar, nor their authority in all matters where it is just for them to use it. But if the Eldar were given free choice to leave Middle-earth and go to Aman, and accepted it because of the loveliness and bliss of that land, their free choice to leave it and return to Middle-earth, when it has become dark and desecrated, cannot be taken away. Moreover I have an errand in Middle-earth, the avenging of the blood of my father upon Morgoth, whom the Valar let loose among us. Fëanor seeks first his stolen treasures." - Fingolfin, The Peoples of Middle-earth, "Shibboleth of Fëanor"

"Tears unnumbered ye shall shed; and the Valar will fence Valinor against you, and shut you out, so that not even the echo of your lamentation shall pass over the mountains. On the House of Fëanor the wrath of the Valar lieth from the West unto the uttermost East, and upon all that will follow them it shall be laid also. Their Oath shall drive them, and yet betray them, and ever snatch away the very treasures that they have sworn to pursue. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well; and by treason of kin unto kin, and the fear of treason, shall this come to pass. The Dispossessed shall they be for ever. Ye have spilled the blood of your kindred unrighteously and have stained the land of Aman. For blood ye shall render blood, and beyond Aman ye shall dwell in Death's shadow. For though Eru appointed to you to die not in Eä, and no sickness may assail you, yet slain ye may be, and slain ye shall be: by weapon and by torment and by grief; and your houseless spirits shall come then to Mandos. There long shall ye abide and yearn for your bodies, and find little pity though all whom ye have slain should entreat for you. And those that endure in Middle-earth and come not to Mandos shall grow weary of the world as with a great burden, and shall wane, and become as shadows of regret before the younger race that cometh after. The Valar have spoken." - Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Flight of the Noldor"

"Maedhros did deeds of surpassing valour, and the Orcs fled before his face; for since his torment upon Thangorodrim his spirit burned like a white fire within, and he was as one that returns from the dead." - Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin"

"Now thou shalt go at last to Gondolin, Turgon; and I will maintain my power in the Vale of Sirion, and in all the waters therein, so that none shall mark thy going, nor shall any find there the hidden entrance against thy will. Longest of all the realms of the Eldalië shall Gondolin stand against Melkor. [...] Thus it may come to pass that the curse of the Noldor shall find thee too ere the end, and treason awake within thy walls. Then they shall be in peril of fire. But if this peril draweth nigh indeed, then even from Nevrast one shall come to warn thee..." - Ulmo

"Rejoice that ye have found it and rest from endless war for the seven-naméd city 'tis that stands upon the hill, where all who strive with Morgoth find hope and valour still." - The Lay of the Fall of Gondolin

"Fingolfin was the strongest, the most steadfast, and the most valiant." - Quenta Silmarillion, "Of Eldamar and the Princes of the Eldalië"

"Be he foe or friend, be he foul or clean, brood of Morgoth or bright Vala, Elda or Maia or Aftercomer, Man yet unborn upon Middle-earth, neither law, nor love, nor league of swords, dread nor danger, not Doom itself, shall defend him from Fëanor, and Fëanor's kin, whoso hideth or hoardeth, or in hand taketh, finding keepeth or afar casteth a Silmaril. This swear we all: death we will deal him ere Day's ending, woe unto world's end! Our word hear thou, Eru Allfather! To the everlasting Darkness doom us if our deed faileth. On the holy mountain hear in witness and our vow remember, Manwë and Varda!" - The Annals of Aman, §134 (Morgoth's Ring, p. 112)

Having watched all of your videos hundreds of times over the years I wondered if I could make a request? Please do the other Blind Guardian songs that are set in Middle-Earth such as The Bard's Song - The Hobbit, Lost in the Twilight Hall, Lord of the Rings and Majesty. I know the latter one is often hard to dispel what the lyrics mean but it could still work. :)

THEY CAN'T GET OVER THE SEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAA

Morgoth infused all his being in middle-earth, making him able to control the destiny of people who lived on it. When Fëanor departed, he refused to believe he would lose because he was fighting fate itself.

Mirror Mirror might be the best pure power metal banger from this album (or indeed, from this band), but this song is the strongest mission statement for this particular album.

Then Feanor laughed as one fey, and he cried: "None and none! What I have left behind I count now no loss; needless baggage on the road it has proved. Let those that cursed my name, curse me still, and whine their way back to the cages of the Valar! Let the ships burn!” Then Maedhros alone stood aside, but Feanor caused fire to be set to the white ships of the Teleri.

I'd love it if Blind Guardian performed the entire album live for the 30th anniversary in 2028. This song in particular they have never played live.

Comprato originale appena usciti❤❤❤🎉😂

How did I not know this song even existed??!!!??!!!!!! Morgoth must have cursed me!!!

I can't decide if I like this or the b 2007 remaster better... (Not listened to the original yet, don't know where to find it online)

How could anyone hate the intro and outro? 😔

this song definitely doesn´t belong to the nightfall album, nor in composition or sound (drums sound terrible) it lacks the spirituality and strong composition of that album. Not terrible but not even in the same league.

This IS a prophetic song.the world change after this.see the signs

Top tier music, have the disc, alongside the others the band has released 'bout middle earth.

One of the most underrated gems ( :D) of the album

This song has more metal than the foundations of chinese apartment buildings.

This goes unfathomably hard, I swear to God!

I like the pictures set next to the lyrics, but it is only fair that you give credit to the artists.

I wonder if Maeglin ever felt remorse?

"So I heard all about it her voice so clear She's woven both themes in there moved me to tears"

Poor Maedhros. He had to take care of his brothers after his father's death, got captured and tortured by Morgoth, lost his hand, lost his brothers and best friends, and finally snapped at the end :(

Maedhros 🧡

"The enemy of mine, isn't he of your kind?"

I wonder why Nightfall of Middle Earth album still hadn’t be updated with this song on official platforms, by the time it’s odd

This is CRAZY, thank you for uploading!!

Man, why does the remaster drown out the choir so severely?

Is there a Spotify link to this album? Was it ever released digitally?

Anyone else here after NIME vanished from spotify?

Eccellente e degno dei tempi d'oro

Absolutely beautiful song 💔

Where can i buy this Album ...?

IRON MAIDEN banda que faz Heavy metal competente, melhor banda de Heavy metal!

Then Fingolfin beheld the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted upon Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him. He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar. Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came.
