Fandom: Silmarillion
Medium: book
Subject: The House of Feanor
Title: Epitaph on a Tyrant
Notes: 23 songs, two for each member of the house (including Nerdanel and Celebrimbor, but the twins as one entity) and a bonus five for general purposes. This was a really fun mix to make, primarily graphically. So appreciate the pretty graphics. Because they were fun. (It has been too long since I made a fanmix for this fandom. I missed it.)

[FEANOR]
uprising | MUSE
They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
the curse of feanor | BLIND GUARDIAN
I will always remember their cries
Like a shadow which covers the light
I will always remember time
But it's past
I cannot turn back the time
[NERDANEL]
no surprises | REGINA SPEKTOR
You look so tired and unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
enough to go by | VIENNA TENG
It was years ago, God knows
When you strained to tell me your whole truth
That you were not mine to save
That you could not change
[MAEDHROS]
speed me towards death | ROB DOUGAN
For life is a game fit only for fools
It's a horse that can't win
In a race rigged to lose
believe | THE BRAVERY
The faces all around me they don't smile they just crack
Waiting for our ship to come but our ship’s not coming back
We do our time like pennies in a jar
[MAGLOR]
bother | STONE SOUP
Wish I was too dead to cry
My self-affliction fades
Stones to throw at my creator
Masochists to which I cater
another year | K’S CHOICE
Another year to lie
Another year goes by
You're not sick, so you can't heal
But I wonder do you feel
The need to cry: 'I'm out of here'
[CELEGORM]
replica | SONATA ARCTICA
I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind your door
I tried so hard to obey the law, and see the meaning of this all
Remember me? Before the war
I'm the man who lived next door
soul society | KAMELOT
How could I be condemned
for the things that I've done
If my intentions were good
I guess I'll never know
[CURUFIN]
butterflies and hurricanes | MUSE
Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
silver tongue | SONATA ARCTICA
I never saw anything so white
Call me Ishmael, if it ain't a lie
I am blinded by your revealing smile
I can only be guilty of an innocent try
You think you are right, in a way
It is something I hear every day
[CARANTHIR]
iron | WOODKID
A soldier on my own, I don't know the way
I'm riding up the heights... of shame
I'm waiting for the call, the hand on the chest
I'm ready for the fight... and fate
made example of | HA HA TONKA
Hindsight isn’t helping me
I wasn’t mindful
I wasn’t minding anyone
[AMBARUSSA]
attack | 30 SECONDS TO MARS
I would have kept you, forever, but we had to sever
It ended for both of us, faster than a
Kill off this thinking, it's starting to sink in
I'm losing control now, and without you I can finally see
song for the dying | THOUSHALTNOT
Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin?
Do you know a thousand battles wage within?
Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your feet?
Alone, you cannot win
[CELEBRIMBOR]
midnight land | EMPIRES
Oh, he went fast to the midnight land.
Among the dark holes, he took your hand.
And did you find out what it's really like?
Victim of trickery, you worn this voice
dust bowl dance | MUMFORD AND SONS
The young man stands on the edge of his porch
The days were short and the father was gone
There was no one in the town and no one in the field
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield
[THE HOUSE OF FËANOR]
hope on fire | VIENNA TENG
Ooh you're gonna make your mark this time
Ooh you're gonna set your hope on fire
live to rise | SOUNDGARDEN
Like the sun we will live to rise
Like the sun we will live and die and then ignite again
Like the sun we will live to rise again
blindhammer | ASSEMBLAGE 23
We live beneath the specter
Of an omnipresent doom
We know for sure it's coming
It's just a question of how soon
the cold, the dark, and the silence | SEA WOLF
If you were to roll, to roll down your window
you'd find the wind, the ice, the trees
that sway like skeletons outside
they are at rest | NIGEL SHORT & TENEBRAE
They are at rest:
We may not stir the heaven of their repose
With loud-voiced grief, or passionate request,
Or selfish plaint for those
Who in the mountain grots of Eden lie,
And hear the fourfold river, as it hurries by
