Gothmog
Emerald Mind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under the stars, before Moon rose
Feanor crossed the sea
Guided by furious light
Of stolen Silmarils

Echo was spreading at the fiord
And flame touched the sky
With light of Aman in bright eyes
They came!

Stay strong
Compress brave into fist
Lead your
People through bloody mist!
Do not
Give fury to blind yourself!
Feanor!
They will not dance on your grave!

In darken vaults of Angband
Under Thangorodrim
The mighty demon of the night arose
With hellish scream!

He holds a title of the Lord
Of Orc-Hosts and Barlogs
He wields black axe and flaming whip
His name is Gothmog!

Under the stars, before Moon rose
Feanor crossed the sea
Guided by furious light
Of stolen Silmarils

Echo was spreading at the fiord
And flame touched the sky




With light of Aman in bright eyes
They died!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Gothmog" by Emerald Mind tell the story of Feanor, a character from J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. Feanor is described as crossing the sea under the stars, guided by the light of the Silmarils, three jewels that he created and that were stolen from him by Morgoth, the main antagonist of Tolkien's universe. The lyrics describe Feanor's quest for revenge and his determination to lead his people through the danger and violence that awaits them. The song also introduces Gothmog, a powerful demon of the night who is a lord of Orc-Hosts and Barlogs and wields a black axe and a flaming whip.


The chorus of the song emphasizes Feanor's bravery and urges him to stay strong and lead his people through the "bloody mist." However, the last line of the song reveals that Feanor and his followers ultimately meet their demise in their battle against Morgoth and his minions.


The lyrics of "Gothmog" are rich in references to Tolkien's mythology and are likely to appeal to fans of fantasy literature, heavy metal music, and epic storytelling.
