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
