With Doom I Come

about this album

Now Summoning dedicates the album’s longest track (11:18) to Morgoth, one of Tolkien’s heaviest-hitting baddies. The lyrics refer to events early in The Silmarillion, when there was a struggle in Valinor, the home of the Valar, for the jewels known as Silmarils. Melkor stole them, poisoned the two light-giving trees known as Telperion and Laurelin, and fled to Middle-earth. Thus, he earned the name Morgoth, meaning dark power. There, he established a stronghold at Angband: In later days, when Morgoth first Fleeing the Gods, their bondage burst And on the mortal lands set feet Far in the north on his mighty seat After the Valar’s initial despair at the darkening of Valinor, they created two lights from the flower and fruit of the trees. Then Varda, who had fashioned the stars, set them in the sky as the Sun and Moon. Meanwhile, Morgoth brooded on how he might spread his doom, his hate intensifying: Death to light, to law, to love Cursed be moon and stars and stars above May darkness everlasting old Drown Manwë, Varda and the shining sun User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
