We come! We come!
We march for Gondolin!
Ten thousand strong from mountain-stone –
Our warrior kin won’t fight alone!
We come with spear and shining sword
To slay and butcher Morgoth’s horde!
To slay the orc and slaughter foes
Who think they can Eldar oppose!
Lord Fingon! Hail! Elf High-King
To you Gondolin is marching!
We come! We come!
We march for King Fingon!
Ten thousand swords, ten thousand spears
We smithied in the peaceful years.
Our falchions sharp! Our arrows keen!
For Middle Earth! For forests green!
For all the Eldar long to see –
An end to Morgoth’s tyranny!
We come to aid Fingon today
And from the fight won’t flee away!
We come! We come!
We march for King Turgon!
Gondolin marches out to war
Unheard of all these years before.
The hidden elves bear ready spears
To do sharp work when battle nears!
For Eldar, for houses of men
We come! The strong Gondolindrim!
Out from our mountains’ secret hill
We come: seeking orc-blood to spill!
Unbidden. Unasked. Yet we come!
Behold the might of Gondolin!
The night is passing – hail the sun!
The dawn is here! The day is come!
Hail! Hail! Gondolin!
