Lammoth
Blind Guardian Lyrics

As the title suggests, Blind Guardian's song "Lammoth" is inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's legendary world of Middle-earth. Specifically, "Lammoth" references the desolate, war-torn land that lies just south of the great fortress of Angband in the region of Beleriand. The opening sounds of war that kick off the song set the tone for the bleak and ominous atmosphere that follows.

The lyrics of "Lammoth" describe the remains of a battlefield, with corpses littering the ground and the sky blackened by smoke and ash. A "great shadow" looms over the scene, suggesting the presence of Morgoth, the dark lord who seeks to dominate Middle-earth. The singer laments the senselessness of the violence that has led to this devastation, asking "is there a way to escape from this misery?"
