Harvest Of Sorrow was written for this album and it's about Túrin's tragic life! I'm not sure why they didn't use it, but I think it's because the album sums up the Silmarillion just half-way through. To before the events around Túrin. They couldn't just put in a random place between the other songs, it would mess up the story. It's certainly not suitable to end an album like NIME with it too, because, as beautiful as it may be, it's not a closer.
This song is not about Túrin! Okay?
Eöl is more likely, but I still believe that it is about Maeglin. Though there are some lines which could refer to Eöl, I think this is important to consider:
'I'm trapped in darkness
Still I reach out for the stars
I'm moving in silence
I leave it all far behind'
This I think tells about when Maeglin ran away from the forest and his father.

And isn't he the 'illgotten son' too?
Not about Túrin! Got it?
