- A Dark Passage is about the events in the time of the Fifth Battle in the Wars of Beleriand: The Nírnaeth Arnoediad (Sindarin: Battle of Unnumbered Tears), when the troops of the Union of Maedhros (an alliance founded by Fëanor's son Maedhros with the Elves, Men and Dwarves of Beleriand) planned to accomplish a major offensive against Morgoth and his fortress Angband. The result of the battle was disastrous for the Elves of Beleriand, because the Easterlings under Ulfang defected to Morgoth, revealed the battle plans and delayed the attack of Maedhros in the east. The western army was elicited of the mountains and surrounded in front of the gates of Angband. Turgon was able to relieve the encircled with an army from Gondolin, but the eastern host arrived too late and was attacked by the Easterlings in the back. At the same time Morgoth sent out his last army under numerous dragons and Balrogs.
The eastern host was wered down and in the west king Fingon was slayn by Gothmog, Lord of Balrogs. Turgon was able to pull back to Gondolin because the Men of Dor-lómin led by Húrin and Huor held the line at the Pass of Sirion to the last to give the Elves cover for their retreat to their Hidden City.
The Union of Maedhros was defeated and large part of the fighting population was killed. After his victory Morgoth controlled all passes to the south and his Orcs roamed Beleriand almost unhindered. In the battle died Fingon (High King of the Ñoldor), Huor (father of Tuor), Haldir (Lord of the Haladin) and Azaghâl (Lord of Belegost). Húrin (Lord of Dor-lómin and Túrin's father) and Gwindor of Nargothrond were captured alive.
With the capture of Húrin after his brother Huor's death began the grievous Tale of the Children of Húrin by the Curse of Morgoth (Video: The Curse of Morgoth), the intro is a short version of this curse, also in the song itself it is mentioned.
The song, the intro (The Steadfast) and the outro (Final Chapter - Thus Ends...) are taken from the CD "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" (1998).
Please support Blind Guardian and purchase their current album "At The Edge Of Time".
----------
A Dark Passage handelt von den Ereignissen zur Zeit der fünften Schlacht in den Kriegen Beleriands: der Nirnaeth Arnoediad (Sindarin: Schlacht der ungezählten Tränen), in der die Truppen von Maedhros' Bund (ein von Fëanors Sohn Maedhros gegründetes Militärbündnis zwischen den Elben, Menschen und Zwergen Beleriands) einen groß angelegten Angriff auf Morgoth und seine Festung Angband unternehmen wollten. Der Ausgang der Schlacht war für die Elben von Beleriand katastrophal, da die Ostlinge unter Ulfang zu Morgoth überliefen, ihm die Angriffspläne verrieten und das Ostheer der Elben mit falschen Nachrichten aufhielten. Das Westheer wurde aus den Bergen vor die Tore Angbands gelockt und umzingelt. Zwar konnte Turgon mit einer Armee aus Gondolin die Umzingelten befreien, doch das Ostheer traf zu spät ein und wurde von den Ostlingen im Rücken angegriffen. Gleichzeitig schickte Morgoth sein letztes Heer unter zahlreichen Drachen und Balrogs.
Das Ostheer wurde aufgerieben und im Westen wurde König Fingon vom Balrog-Fürsten Gothmog erschlagen. Turgon konnte sich sicher nach Gondolin zurückziehen, da die Menschen aus Dor-lómin, unter der Führung Húrins und Huors, den Pass des Sirion bis zum letzten Mann hielten, um den Rückzug der Elben in ihre verborgene Stadt zu decken.
Maedhros' Bund wurde besiegt und ein großer Teil der kampfesfähigen Bevölkerung der Elben und Menschen getötet. Nach diesem Sieg hatte Morgoth sämtliche Pässe nach Süden unter Kontrolle und seine Orks streiften daraufhin beinahe ungehindert durch Beleriand. In der Schlacht starben Fingon (Hoher König der Noldor), Huor (der Vater Tuors), Haldir (Fürst der Haladin) und Azaghâl (Herr von Belegost). Húrin (Herr von Dor-lómin und Vater Túrins) und Gwindor aus Nargothrond wurden gefangen genommen.
Mit der Gefangennahme Húrins nach dem Tod seines Bruders Huor begann durch Morgoths Fluch die leidvolle Geschichte der Kinder Húrins (Video: Morgoths Fluch), das Intro stellt eine kurze Version des Fluchs dar, auch im Lied selbst wird darauf eingegangen.
Sowohl der Song, als auch das Intro (The Steadfast) und das Outro (Final Chapter - Thus Ends...) stammen von der CD "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" (1998).
Bitte unterstützt Blind Guardian und kauft euch ihr aktuelles Album "At The Edge Of Time"!
The part in the beginning (and also the outro) is another "song" of the album. About 50% of "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" are such interludes which are used to tell more aspects of the different stories. I just put them into the video for they belong together.
This song always brings tears to my eyes. But that might be that the fifth battle is one of the most saddening parts in the Silmarillion.
Poor Húrin. Looks like this song brings back so many bad memories he disliked it.
No song, no tale which contains all the grief.
"Dark is the hour, but day shall come again."
Aurë Entuluva.
Let Hurin's great deed never be forgotten.
Those 3 dislikes must be from Hurin and his children.
Probably my favorite song from this album. I always imagine an army marching into battle as the song closes to the drum beat and the chanting.
It pisses me off to no end that this song isn't on Spotify, and the part of this amazing album that IS on Spotfy, are live versions.
I don't think the record company wants them on there or were offered enough money. It does suck that their old albums aren't on there, given how amazing they are. I discovered this band 10 years ago by a friend and still my favorite.
bro got dat Middle Earth: Shadow of War pfp
And that’s why I don’t use that worthless app
just buy the cd,don't be a cheap ass
MORGOTHHHHHH KING OF DARKNESS, MASTER OF FATE
Awesome. I can use power metal to improve my German vocabulary. You, sir, rock.

The interludes of "Nightfall in Middle-Earth" were spoken by Norman Eshley and Douglas Fielding while Sozin's voice is Ron Perlman. But I never watched the series, so I have no answer to your question. Sorry...
Which one voiced Morgoth?
Asking because the voice who plays Morgoth in this album is my default mental conception of what Morgoth sounds like.
John Whitesell Imagine Morgoth being voiced by Ron Perlman, that would be epic.
just wanted to say, thanks. This is perfect :D my favorite song, with lyris on the screen. :D This is PERFECT for introducing people to Blind guardian
Amazing song. Strange this sounds like a triumphant song of good conquering evil, but it's the opposite. This album sounds epics through my Woo Audio WA7 + T90's.
Depends on which side you fight. For the Twisted and Wicked minds Morgoth is the only one good God and its worth fighting for him because you can earn so much
The 4 people who disliked are servants of Morgoth or Thingol.
F for our boy Fingon
I never liked this type of metal, but I love this song, and his voice !
Aurë Entuluva!
The only thing that really bugs me is that transition from The Steadfast & A Dark Passage has a few seconds in between which the album doesn't really have
banger
