Gil-galad
Ereinion Gil-galad (IPA: [eˈreɪnjon ˈɡilɡalad]) is a fictional Elf in J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth legendarium. He is mentioned in The Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.
Character overview
Ereinion Gil-galad was the last High King of the Noldor in Middle-earth.
In early texts, Gil-galad was the son of Fingon the Valiant, son of Fingolfin, son of Finwë, first High King of the Noldor. It is through this descent that his High Kingship of the Noldor is explained, as all of them had previously held the title, and it also perhaps explains his original name Ereinion (which means "Scion of Kings").
Other sources and versions of the text however, indicate that Gil-galad was the son of Orodreth of the House of Finarfin, and his name became Finellach Gil-galad. This would make him grandson of Angrod, the brother of Finrod Felagund, Aegnor and Galadriel.
His name in Tolkien's invented languages of Quenya and Sindarin was Artanáro and Rodnor, respectively, but he was best known as Gil-galad ("Star of Radiance") and his epessë (honorary title) Ereinion, meaning "Scion of Kings".

[Verse 1]
I'm sitting contemplating
Is it worth it, should I take it
Take that shot and change my life
Get that Glock and take his life
Hospitals and bloody noses
this would end all, I suppose
That I could leave, knowing I cant leave
So it's either him or me
'Cause hes gon' kill me if I stay I know
Gon' kill me, he cant change I know
From the first time that he did it
Made a promise that he'd quit it
(Shit) Its gotten so much worse
Don't wanna end up in a hearse
I guess I gotta do it first
Yes I gotta do it first
[Chorus]
I cant go back now, back now, I'm runnin'
No where to go cops, I hear them comin'
But if they catch me I still ain't sorry
If that was wrong just call me guilty
Cause if you knew what he did to me
I know I would get your sympathy
So if they catch me I still ain't sorry
Just lock me up and call me guilty
[Verse 2]
I did it, pulled the trigger
It wasn't so hard to figure
Before I did it I said
"This was for all the blood I shed"
For all the women who've gone through this shit
Can't think of what to do (this shit)
Whose still trynna get out
He's gon' kill you if you stay I know
I've been through this so yes I know
I know he promised that he'd quit it
If you believe him, girl forget it (shit)
You know I'm right
Don't wanna see him take your life
And it will only just get worse
That's why I had to do it first
[Chorus]
I cant go back now, back now, I'm runnin'
Nowhere to go cops, I hear them comin'
But if they catch me I still ain't sorry
If that was wrong just call me guilty
Cause if you knew what he did to me
I know I would get your sympathy
So if they catch me I still ain't sorry
Just lock me up and call me guilty
[Verse 3]
There's so much blood
I grab my stuff
But before I could leave
The cops busted in
"You have the right to remain silent"
No, I have the right to stay alive
But guess what, I'd do it again
He woulda killed me
Before I killed him
It woulda been him up in this building
It woulda been him faking tears
But what's funny is that I'm the one standing here
[Chorus]
I cant go back now, back now, I'm runnin'
No where to go cops, I hear them comin'
But if they catch me I still ain't sorry
If that was wrong just call me guilty
Cause if you knew what he did to me
I know I would get your sympathy
So if they catch me I still ain't sorry
