Blind Guardian - Time Stands Still (At the Iron Hill) (Lyrics English & Deutsch)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2010
- This song tells the story of the fight between Fingolfin (third High King of the Noldor) and Melkor (Morgoth, "The Dark Enemy") in front of his dark fortress Angband, after the elves were defeated and scattered in the Dagor Bragollach ("Battle of Sudden Flame") by Melkor's force led by the balrogs and the dragon Glaurung. Fingolfin managed to wound Morgoth seven times, but he didn't survive himself.
This song is a part of the concept album "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" (1998), the intro "Battle of Sudden Flame" is also part of this CD, as an interlude right before "Time Stands Still".
Please support Blind Guardian and purchase their current album "At The Edge Of Time".
I also advise the books "The Silmarillion" and "The Children of Húrin" for everyone, who wondered what had happened in the ages before the War of the Ring, which Aragorn and Elrond know so many old stories about, when they read "The Lord of the Rings".
----------
Dieses Lied erzählt die Geschichte vom Kampf zwischen Fingolfin (dritter Hoher König der Noldor) und Melkor (Morgoth, "Der dunkle Feind der Welt") vor den Toren seiner finsteren Festung Angband, nachdem die Elben in der Dagor Bragollach ("Schlacht des Jähen Feuers") von Melkors Streitmacht unter den Balrogs und dem Drachen Glaurung besiegt und zerstreut wurden. Fingolfin konnte Morgoth sieben mal verwunden, überlebte selbst aber nicht.
Das Lied ist Teil des Konzeptalbums "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" (1998), das Intro "Battle of Sudden Flame" ist auch auf der CD als Interlude direkt vor "Time Stands Still".
Bitte unterstützt Blind Guardian und kauft euch ihr aktuelles Album "At The Edge Of Time"!
Außerdem empfehle ich allen, die sich beim Lesen von "Der Herr der Ringe" gefragt haben, was in den Zeitaltern vor dem Ringkrieg geschehen ist, von denen Aragorn und Elrond so viele alte Geschichten kennen, die Bücher "Das Silmarillion" und "Die Kinder Húrins".

R.I.P Fingolfin, the Chaddest of all fantasy elves.
After the battle...
Morgoth: "MY LEG!"
I'm seriously considering putting this on a T-shirt
Basically challenged a god an managed to wound him. Yes, he lost but the battle was not really something winnable for him and he stood tall anyway while Morgoth was afraid. Chadest of chads.
Ecthelion of the Fountain gets second place for taking Gothmog down with him. My boy Glorfindel is in the top 10 too, I'd say.
@@ollebo is there a t-shirt yet?
I was at a blind guardian concert and Hansi said: "We've had many epic tales today but in the next song we're going to top that". And I, as a Tolkien enthusiast have always said that the Fingolfin vs. Morgoth fight is the most EPIC story/scene in all of fantasy ever. Hearing Hansi agree was so incredibly empowering that I immediately screamed "TIME STANDS STILL". He then said: "A few of you know what I'm talking about"
That was the best moment of my life so far.
Unironically a cool story, bro!
Thus he came alone to Angband's gates, and he sounded his horn, and smote once more upon the brazen doors, and challenged Morgoth to come forth to single combat. And Morgoth came.
But they say, that he took not the challenge willingly. For he alone of the Valar, knew fear. But the shrill song of the horn of Fingolfin echoed deep into the depths of Angband and he named Morgoth craven, and a lord of slaves. And shamed thus before all of his commanders and lieutenants he could not refuse the challenge.
The way Guardian captured the spirit of The Silmarillion in their songs proves what great artists they are
Suddenly I'm just picturing the elf at the campfire starting with the first poem and then magically switching metal and blowing everyone's minds
Level 20 Elf Bard jams
Me with tears in his eyes, singing along: "PRAISE OUR KING!"
Anyone: Hansi, you don't need to reference Tolkien so mu..
Hansi: I'll dare you! Come out! You coward, now it's me or you!
Fingolfin!
Crowned of Noldorin!
The most valiant and strongest of his kin!
That chorus gave me some ride of the Rohirrim level chills.
Fingolfin,High King of Elves! The most valiant and strongest of his kin!
He passed over Dor-nu-Fauglith like a wind amid the dust, and all that beheld his onset fled in amaze, thinking that Oromë himself was come: for a great madness of rage was upon him, so that his eyes shone like the eyes of the Valar.
I'd like to see him in a Death Battle against Aenarion from Warhammer Fantasy.
Fingolfin: "Morgoth, 1v1 me bro!!!!"
Morgoth: "Fool, if you wish to rush into death, then I will grant you such an end."
Morgoth talked shit while being scared, just like a kid online
actually Fingolfin wounded Morgoth 8 times total: seven in battle and once with his dying breath as he stabbed Morgoth's leg with his sword while Morgoth was stepping over him and tis said that Morgoth was limping on that leg from there on.
It was seven. The 8th was the giant Eagle coming down to save Fingolfin by scratching Morgoth in the face.
Meilleur fil....feel de punk
And Thorondor then flew down to rescue his dead body and clawed at Morgoth's face disfiguring him forever.
Such a badass moment. RIP Fingolfin son of Finwë.
How badass must you be to leave the devil limping
Now imagine if he and feanor both fought morgoth
chills down my spine..Fingolfin is hands down my favorite character in the books.
THE BEST TRACK FROM MIDDLE-EARTH yet to date! In my opinion.
No other has so much emotional impact, passion of character, "heavyness" of the story. It captures insanity and bravery of Fingolfin´s charge, it even captures the whole Silmarillion in a way with a chorus. A masterpiece!
@SS Officer of the Third Reich what?
I cant pick a song...Curse of Feanor, mirror mirror, night fall, thorn, this gem. even harvest of sorrow...classic album
"The fate of us all, lies deep in the dark. When time stands still, at the iron hill."
Fingolfin's fate is that fate of all the elves of Beleriand. And though they like he will struggle mightily against their "doom" (fate) they will fall.
Legend has it that there is a very wide path called "Fingolfin's footprint" from Fingolfin's kingdom to Angband's gate, it is said that this path was formed by the gigantic pair of balls that it was dragging to Angband.
Why are you so obsessed with balls, Julio?
@@legion999 Out of habit, I guess. In Spanish, colloquially, a lot of expressions related to "Testicles" are used to talk about someone showing bravery, especially when they are exaggeratedly brave. Let's say that I only transcribe Castilian expressions directly into English.
Likely to be gone so far since Beleriand was crushed in the War of Wrath.
Don't be crass about such an epic story
Extensive information: Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor upon learning of the defeat of the Noldor before Morgoth, the Dark Lord who is basically Satan, much more powerful than Sauron who was working for him at that time. Fingolfin rode in a rage to the very gates of the Dark Lord's fortress, so furious that none dared stop him, neither the Balrog nor Sauron. He started banging on doors with his testicles as he blew his horn and challenged Morgoth to a 1vs1 duel and called them a coward and slave lord in front of all his servants. And though Morgoth heard him he would not go, for he was afraid, but he could not refuse the challenge before his own captains, so slowly and fearfully he went out. Fingolfin was not in the least startled to see the gigantic form of Arda's most powerful being appear at that moment, and instead began a long fight, wounding Morgoth 7 times causing him to cry out in pain before his armies. But he was dealing with basically a god, so eventually the King grew weary, and Morgoth got his foot on him, trying to slowly kill him. So with the last of his strength, Fingolfin plunged his sword into Morgoth's heel, and slashed through it, leaving him permanently lame. Morgoth never left his fortress after that, he always limped on one foot, and the wounds never fully healed.
can confirm
imagine being such a badass that satan himself is left infirm and traumatized, never daring to leave his lair ever again after meeting you
He stood before the king like a tower, and his vast shield, sable unblazoned, cast a shadow over him like a stormcloud. But Fingolfin gleamed like a star, for his mail was overlaid with silver and his blue shield was set with crystals and he drew his sword Ringil, that glittered like ice.
@Dregen1
The book is called "The Silmarillion" and was edited by JRR Tolkien's son Christopher in 1977, containing 5 parts. The story of this song is taken from chapter 18 (Of the Ruin of Beleriand and the Fall of Fingolfin) of the largest part, Quenta Silmarillion. It takes place in the First Age (The Lord of the Rings is at the ending of the Third Age more that 6,000 years later) during the Wars of Beleriand.
The reason why elves didn't sing of Fingolfin is because they didn't invent heavy metal yet
His grandson Gil-galad and his human descendant Elendil did a similar deed when they defeated Sauron in the 2nd Age
For a reason that I do not know, this song makes me cry.
Same. It's because it's a sad story.
Just like all the Noldors did
welp seems like i'm reading the silmarillion again
Hmm. I'll Probably Read It Soon. But Which Should I Read First: The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, Beren And Luthien, Children Of Hurin, Or The Fall Of Gondolin?
@@rateeightx the Silmarillion. Reading it first would give you context about the rest
Everyone's all like "Feanor's crazy" but we have Fingolfin (who could barely walk from the size of his massive balls) angrily challenging the Literal Devil to a fight. Like boohoo Feanor slammed a door in Morgoth's face when Morgie was pretending to be reforming in Valinor, Fingolfin didn't run away when he saw the Kaiju-sized Vala, he was probably thinking "this fucking guy" and then he wounds Melkor seven times and when Melkor gets the drop on him, about to smash him, Fingolfin is like "I'm gonna fuck you up before I go" and stabs him THROUGH THE FOOT and Melkor has to live with that injury for the rest of the Age. Feanor is cool, but Fingolfin also needs to be acknowledged as batshit crazy awesome, too.
And Fingolfin did all that without ever killing his own people. Fingolfin > Feanor.
I think it's important to remember that when Morgoth, an immortal demi-god and the most powerful of all the Valar, came out of his fortress to face his foe, he did so in fear, knowing that this mere elflord could lay waste to his plans and do actual physical harm to him.
Remember that Fingolfin is also the same guy that saw Feanor stealing the Teleri ships and abandon him, then said "Oh yeah?, well fuck you then I'm going on foot through the north pole"
Melkor didn't duel Feanor probably he was too afraid of him
Feanor was a bitch as teenager who talked the big talk and was only renowed because the elves were naive and stagnant.
Fingolfin knew what needed to be done and went there to take a shot knowing full well this wouldnt go his way but it was worth the effort anyway.
@ben020hk
It really is! Finwe, Feanor, Fingolfin, Finrod, Fingon, Turgon, none of them survived the First Age...
+Piscator Finwë didn't even survive *to* the First Age. He was dead in 1495 YT.
Only Galadriel...
Maglor is also likely alive, but is lost; wandering the shores of Middle Earth and lamenting the loss of the Silmarils.
@@johnmirra5276 but could you call his fate "living"
@@kyledayton7829 More like disappeared. No one has heard from him again.
Lemme simplified for anyone wondering why Tolkien fans thinks this song is epic.
This Chad Fingolfin shouting on his enemy gates asking 1 vs 1 with a bare hand against an armed man to the teeth. Even Fingolfin dies, He injured his enemy 8 times, bare handed.
He was not bare handed. He had his sword Ringil and his shield. Unless you mean that you can compare him to a bare-handed man fighting a fully armored warrior, because he is an elf and Morgoth is a God.
This song really paints the scene well. It really paints the energy of the moment and the daunting task ahead of Fingolfin.
Bitteschön!
Bei mir wars übrigens ähnlich: ich habe zu der Zeit gerade mal wieder das Silmarillion gelesen und hab dann im Internet etwas über Fingolfin nachgeforscht. Dabei bin ich auf dieses Lied und damit auch auf die Band gestoßen.
Well at least there's one thing Fingolfin did right before he went out... he turned Morgoth to a vegetable.
My favourite track on a fantastic album!
@PiscatorLager Thanks I appreciate you taking the time to explain that to me. I will definitely be buying the book soon. I wish they would keep writing additional books and stories to the lore. It's beyond amazing.
FINGOLFIN!!!
The High King of the Noldor!
Praise our king
Missing this type of songs.
1:00 sounds like a introduction to star wars theme .
Best lyrics video maket on yt .Here is a sub
thank you
Amazing!
I'm hearing Bridge of Khazad-dum at 0:56.
The intro is so good
this song made me cry
Fingolfin for the Wingolfin!
@Mszaan
Absolutely right!
This lad pulled, what we called in my days, a Leroy Jenkins.
It does trouble me why it doesn't mention the damage Fingolfin did to Morgoth so that he couldn't walk fairly again.
*2:22*
Hail Fingolfin !
I miss this Blind Guardian. Unfortunatelly, after their "A Night at the Opera" they arent the same band...
i used to think the same way, but after listening to their later albums, they all started to grow Heavily on me, now i think they are all great releases. Twist on the myth ... Dude great record, andci used to hate it
el estribillo de esta canción hace que mi vello púbica crezca desmesuradamente.
I love this song, its my favorite amongst the rest in their album - Nightfall in Middle-Earth. However, I don't think they did their research before making the song. If I am not mistaken, the 'Iron hills' belong to Dwarves. I think what they meant to say was 'Iron Mountains,' which was Melkor's first defence of his fortress kingdom of Utumno.
Still though I love this song, it was very well written and has some great lyrics!
I think they do know what they where talking about, but that "mountain" does not rhyme with "still" and that "hill" does. Anyone who would make an album about middle earth knows their Tolkien, or so I would hope.
As I would hope as well, but songs don't always need to rhyme. It's still in correct however, which kind of throws a person off (especially those who are new to the Tolkien fan base). Still love the song though,
***** Even if the song doesn't rhyme, mountain would still throw it off, and this could have been the first pattern they came up with. The song is still one of their best. Infact, I just used it to get someone into the whole genre.
Perhaps it is just me, I am not fond of many things like that. I like being accurate... perhaps to much at times. But I agree, still one of their best. And thats great! By all means, if it can be used to get others into the genre or the bands music, then definitely use it!
***** Iron hill might be a reference to Angband, which was Melkor's fortress at the time of this dual between Fingolfin and Melkor
We should make a picture sstem based off the whole album
Amazing Amazing video. What book is the story from?
@@danjoredd 3 years late seen this reply before but both Piscator and Dregen1 already repiled but old YT replies were added as normal comments
The doom of the Noldor!
🤘😎🤘
What is the name of the image of begin from video?
Yo i'm fucking famous lets go
Please stop randomly blocking this in my country
Thanks
Alpha Critter that’s RUclips not piscator
@@piepie3295 ik, i wish a meteor would crash into the president of youtube, like fist of god style
And its unblocked again
RUclips just hates metal, its clear they should be maimed by god for such a heresy
Metal is sacred and beautiful and if i have to back up all my favorite remix music and tracks then youtube is pointless except for downloading all the videos for on screen lyrics
the silmarilian
I want a full version of that intro, anyone know if that exists?
That's the album version and the only version, a far as I'm aware.
that is the complete theme
Play the Black Captain mission in Shadow of Mordor while listening to this. You will not regret it.
That's more appropriate than you imagine... Few people actually remember the genealogy, but Fingolfin was Celembrimbor's great-uncle
Guess it would be even better, though, for the ending of "The Shining Lord" plotline
@Trenchcoat Samurai Which Black Captain should we kill? There's three.
I wish I could understand all those things like Noldor, Melkor, those sorta Lords of the Rings things. I wonder if someone guide me which book can lead me to know those things well :)
The book you would need to start with is the Silmarillion which is the story of the 1st age, when Elves were pretty much the badassess of the land as you can tell from the song which is about Fingolfin. The book is kinda a hard read seeing how it is written in the from of a historical textbook or a bible. In fact not alot of people finish it because it puts some to sleep. If you are up to the challenge of reading it, here are some websites that will help you IMMENSELY
:tolkienreadalong.tumblr.com/-This is the Silmarillion read-a-long blog with will help.
askmiddlearth.tumblr.com/-This person is very knowledgeable in the Silmarillion and is very kind and will answer any question to the best of his/her abilities

Now you don't HAVE to read the entire book, you could every easily skip to a certain part or you could just read summaries from the site that i have listed, though you would have to find them. It is really up to you just be aware the Simarillion has defeated many readers, so take it chapter by chapter and take a break from reading it so you won't get burn out. Enjoy and good luck!
Do not start with The Silmarillion. It's the most complex Tolkien's book and unneeded to understand The Hobbit events.
Start with The Hobbit and then The Lord of Rings. If you like and want to know more about Arda, go and read The Silmarillion.
+Victor Wirz What he said!
Morgoth's Ring is an easy read enough. :)
Thadan Cobain if this is still relevant I'd say read the hobbit and Lord of the Rings to get used to Tolkien's style of writing then read the Silmarillion
Great song i just lov it ( ( (d-_-b) ) ) Hourra for Blind Guardian
Acabé
This would be a great song for Pelinal Whitestrake, minus the references to the elves
iron means metal, auf deutsch, nicht eis
i write this in english because i dont think you can speak german... or english... iron means Eisen, metal means Metall :D
