Betrayal
Angband Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can understand
what you are feeling
I have felt it often myself

It was just a word
I said too much
I never wanna do this
The help it turned
Into betray
I didn't wanna say it

I was a big fool
But how can
I make it good

I have trusted you
I know I'm not deserved
You have betrayed me
I am the guilty

I heard you were crying
A lot for him
Crying the pain out of you

I know the force
goes away
It is going low

I can't help you know
I'm frightened to injure you
You are strong I know

But it will
Never leave you
It will never die

What have I done to you
In this night
All I made until now
Destroyed in one night
I cried, yes I cried for you
Only for you




You haven't seen but you know
I am the one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Angband's song "Betrayal" explore a complex emotional dynamic between two people who have experienced deep hurt and betrayal. The singer acknowledges that they understand the pain their partner is feeling because they have felt it themselves. The betrayal in question appears to have been caused by the singer saying too much - a mistake they deeply regret. They recognize the harm they have done and wish they could fix it, but they feel powerless to do so.


The singer grapples with feelings of guilt, acknowledging that they were a fool and that they don't deserve the trust their partner placed in them. However, they also reveal that their partner betrayed them as well, indicating that this is not a simple situation with clear-cut villains and heroes. The complexity of the situation is further underscored by the fact that the singer expresses sympathy for their partner's pain while also feeling unable to help them heal. They recognize their own limitations and their partner's strength, suggesting that they are at an impasse when it comes to repairing their relationship.


Overall, "Betrayal" is a poignant exploration of the difficult emotions that arise when trust is broken. Both parties are grappling with complicated feelings of guilt, hurt, and betrayal, and it is unclear whether they will be able to move past the damage that has been done.

Morgoth: Maeglin, lead my army to Gondolin. Find the kingdom and reclaim it. Do it, and Idril is yours.

Maeglin: As you command!

Years later.

Maeglin: W…where am I?

Sauron: awakened you are. Banished from death. You now shall have your revenge. Lead the orcs to middle earth and your kingdom shall be yours.

Maeglin: Yes. I shall. I rise.

Orc: what shall we call you, my lord?

Maeglin: Call me Adar.

I really hope that Adar is Maeglin
