Now, when ended Verse 2, play intro riff again, however,
also add Part 2 in the beginning.
Now there's this synt bridge coming, wich I've also transcribed.
Bridge
Lord of all Noldor
A star in the night
And a bearer of hope
He rides into his glorious battle alone
Farewell to the valiant warlord
E|--------------------------------------------------|B|----------------14--------------------------------|G|-12-12-13-12-------13-12--12-12-13-12----10-12-12-|D|-------------13-----------------------13----------|A|--------------------------------------------------|e|--------------------------------------------------|
Chorus 4x
The Fate of us all
Lies deep in the dark
When time stands still at the iron hill
It was EXTREMLY hard to figure out the chorus, and I don't think it's
really right, but anyway, it sounds pretty nice.
The Fate of us all... Lies deep in the Dark...E|-------------------------------------------------|B|-------------------------------------------------|G|-------------------------------------------------|D|-------------------5-5-5-------------------3-3-3-|A|----5----5----5----3-3-3----3-----3-----3--1-1-1-|e|----3----3----3-------------1-----1-----1--------|
Keep on playing that riff throught the whole chorus, the timing is,
well, worthless. Actually, I don't think the fast A# and C powerchords
really should be there. I just thought it sounded well, without them
the chorus would be too dull on guitar.

I stand alone
Noone's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward

Verse 4 4x
He gleams like a star
And the sound of his horn's
Like a raging storm
Proudly the high lord
Challenges doom
Lord of slaves he cries

Verse 5 4x
Slowly in fear
The dark lord appears
Welcome to my lands
You shall be damned
Is almost like Verse 1, just that it's played one whole and a half step higher.

Verse 6 2x
The iron crowned
Is getting closer
Swings his hammer
Down on him
Like a thunderstorm
He's crushing
Down on Noldor's
Proudest king

So hopeless it seems
You've troubled my day
Now feel the pain
