Bane of Durin - Númenor

A king there was in days of old

Before the darkness grey and cold

Upon his throne the runes were bright

His helm was shining in the night

There was once a long, long time ago

Before the sun and moon we know

When hills were young and mountains tall

Before the night and shadowfall

A king there was in the dawn of days

His fame and glory still ablaze

His deeds became song and tale

Legends speak of might and fame

His halls were dark, tall and grim

Above the forest, glade and hill

The glory was carved in stone

Before the night and shadowfall

A king there was on carven throne

With runes of power upon the door

His halls were dark, tall and grim

Above the forest, glade and hill

But long ago the beast has come

Wings of darkness covered the sun

From the deep and dark, fire and flame

The curse of yore, the durin’s bane
