The idea was impractical from the very start

But he loved his brother Gelmir, truly with all his heart

And so when this brave young prince led the first attack

At the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, we wondered if he'd be back



But...



Mor-goth trem-bled to hear him pressing through

Imagine, if you can, if this had happened instead to you

And though the killing of his brother was a legitimate complaint,

It is still so intriguing to see Melkor nearly faint



When Gwindor left Nargothrond, Finduilas was safe in Doriath

That lovely elleth, smitten with him, could not know the wrath

Which he would incur from Melkor for trying to take him down

Yet there's always someone brave enough to swipe the devil's firey crown



And...



Mor-goth trem-bled to hear him pounding at the gate

For a time, though short for him, he wondered of his fate

Blasphemous words against this rotten demon are really nothing new

But rare is there such a hero with a cause so just and true



As those around him fell, Gwindor had to quickly think

With broken arrows all around, his hopes began to sink

Was it merely a lost cause for him to fight against the fallen star?

Had his actions merely led to angering one who still thought himself
valar?


When...

Mor-goth Trem-bled to hear Gwindor's army still approach

Although they may not have ever sworn to sacred oath

That evil one used all his powers forged from fire and death

To squeeze the life from Gwindor's troops, every single breath



He looped around and came back up only to find that he was trapped

Breathing fast and all alone, his plan for revenge was scrapped

And with a wry smile Gwindor was taken up in chains

Beaten, tortured, and worked half to death, and yet, one thing remains


That...


Mor-goth Trem-bled to hear that elf lord come

Such fear does not often manifest in that evil one

But on that day one elf proved that though you may not win

There is something to be said about never giving in
