Verse 2
E|------------------| B|------------------| Finally I've found myself G|-----------8~-7---| In these lands D|-5--------------8-| Horror and madness I'v seen here A|-3-6-3--6---------| For what I became a king of the lost? e|--------4---------| Barren and lifeless the land lies
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.

Verse 3 2x
I stand alone
Noone's by my side
I'll dare you
Come out
You coward
Now it's me or you

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
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------13--------------------------------------------------| G|-12----12-13-12----15-13-12-----12----12----12-15-13h15p13-12-------| D|----15-----------------------15----------15-------------------15-12-| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| e|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
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.

Swings his hammer

Proudest king
