This song, inspired by J.R.R Tolkien's stories of Middle-earth. The song speaks of the Noldor (the Deep Elves) struggles in Middle-earth after they abandoned the Undying Lands to the west to pursue the dark lord Morgoth, who stole the gems forged by the leader of the Noldor, Feanor. They've forgotten that the true hope for their salvation lies "beyond the coast", in the West, with the Valar, the lords of Arda.
