Blind Guardian - Curse of Feanor (Lyrics Video)

[@zirkalda9502]

Knowing the context of these lyrics turns this from a 10/10 to a 100/10.

[@dankaravelov5251]

Truly a song worthy of someone who was so epic he burned to ashes from his own fiery spirit

[@omerfaran8514]

What's the context? I enjoy this song so much without even knowing what they're singing about (:

[@1cehunter621]

@@omerfaran8514The whole album is based on the book Silmarillion, which tells us a story of Middle-Earth from Lord of the Rings. This song is about Feanor, who has created Silmarils(which book was kinda named after, so they are pretty important) that were composed of the light of the Two Trees of Valinor(which was basically sacred elf land)

Fëanor was many things, and did many wrongs, but no one shall ever call him coward. He faced down Melkor at the gates of Formenos, and told him to piss off, and rushed headlong into battle against Gothmog and the Valaraukar- for so great was his inner fire.

His body was turned to ashes wasn't it? So if Mandos were to kindly kick his soul back to Arda from his halls, Feanor's soul wouldn't be able to enter any physical form, thus making the whole revival process unnecessary. Correct me if I'm wrong.

He was the kindest of them all. The regretful poet among the band of warrior brothers in berserk. O! Feanor... Why did you have to be so harsh, so hasty in judgement?
