(Lorgan)Pád Gondolinu Composed 1985 Recorded 4. - 5. 5. 2019
The opening song of The Fall of Gondolin tells the story of childhood and youth of Tuor, son of Huor from Hador's house, who in the future becomes a chosen hero.
After Huor fell in the Battle of Unnumbered Tears, his pregnant wife Rían, mad with grief, fled to the wilderness to seek him. Grey elves who still dwelled in Hithlum found her and helped her survive. Soon after she gave birth to her son Tuor at the end of the Year of Lamentation, she left the child in care of Annael, the chieftain of Sindar, and soon after passed away. When the life in Hithlum became too dangerous for the elves, they tried to go south, but they were ambushed by a troop of Easterlings who had settled in the country. Young Tuor fell into captivity and had to serve as a thrall to Lorgan, chief of Easterlings. After some years he managed to escape and lived as a lonely outlaw in his father's land. Wandering perilously through the county, he was trying to find a hidden elven gate he knew of from his foster father, for he had not seen any hope for the future in his life as outlaw.

The original lyrics by Alex Lewis:
Lorgan
Emi Ami
I was born in the Year of Lamentation
Emi Hmi
It seems such is my life
Emi Ami
Never knowing the mother that bore me
H H7
Lord of a scattered tribe
Emi
Easterlings, Easterlings
Hmi
Grasping all we owned
Emi
Ten to one, they captured me
C
Bound and dragged me home
G D
Lorgan, I shall escape you
G D
Lorgan, wait for the day to
C Emi
Lorgan, making you pay, too —
D
Outlawed in my lands
I slew all his guards in the woods together
Three years patience paid
Never catch me, the dogs won’t let you
The fastest friends I made
Easterlings, Easterlings
Grasping for a ghost
Rushing all around of me
They will never know
Lorgan, I shall escape you... as above
Dwelt alone in the caverns of the elves
Four years on the run
Outlaw, price is on my head
Never time enough
Easterlings, Easterlings
Grasping but thin air
Wild man in the houseless hills
Bedmate with dispair
Lorgan, I shall escape you... as above
