about

This track features Tuomas Saukkonen of Wolfheart, Before The Dawn and Dawn of Solace, as well as Risto Ruuth of Eternal Tears of Sorrow and The Nidra.
Gothmog was the strongest of all the Balrogs and also their captain and lord. He was in service of the dark lord, Morgoth during the First Age. He was also personally responsible for killing two of the High Kings of the Ñoldor.

lyrics

Deep within Thangorodrim - Stronghold in the rock
Captives meet an end most grim - With their heads on a block

Behold the spawn - Of fire and shadow
Defender of Angband - A tow’ring commando

(Bow down before - Wielder of the black axe)
(Murderer of kings - Destroyer of Elves)

I’m the one - (Born of the flame)
High captain - (Remember my name)
Flame of Udun - (Lord of the Balrogs)
Nowhere to run - (You’re beneath the axe of Gothmog)

Guardian of the nethermost hall - Servant of the Dark Lord

A dreaded oppressor - Born from hate for the Eldar
A fearsome aggressor - At the right hand of Melkor

(Scourge and axe I brandish - Serving he who chose me)
(Certain death and anguish - To all that oppose me)

(Lashing out with a burning whip - Blistering the backs of prisoners flogged)
(I gash - I gouge until a scream leaves their lips - They’re shrieking the name of Gothmog)

(Solo - R. Ruuth)

I’m the one - (Born of the flame)
High captain - (Remember my name)
Flame of Udun - (Lord of the Balrogs)
Nowhere to run - (You’re beneath the axe of Gothmog)

Guardian of the nethermost hall - High Captain Gothmog
