Could it be Morgoth, and the "you" refer to Hurin or Turin?
I'm as dark as night - Morgoth was dark, bad, etc.
I run far from light - always stayed hidden in Thangorodrim
spell is upon me - he is right now cast into the void, he could also cast a spell
as you will now see - Hurin could "see" the results of Morgoth's curse
you'll beat me I know - the prophesy of Turin beating Morgoth in the final battle
but I bring the woe - exactly
your friend is now lost - could refer to Huor if its Hurin, or Beleg if it's Turin, although Huor was actually Hurin's brother, not friend
but that was the cost - not sure, maybe this line just completes the rhyme.
