1. One: Melkor
Only In Darkness
It was called the Song of the World
When light first came into being
And all that is good was given
To the angels up high to sing
All creation born in a song
All creation - life, love and stars
And then when I sought to join
The notes that I sang were named marred
It was said that the music I warped
It was said that I tarnished the tale
Cursed is my name in all tongues
Who but you, though, can say that I fell?
And you, who the story did spin
You alone do not say I was wrong
For only in darkness the light
And only in silence, the song
