They say it’s the soul of a dragon
that gives them the voice of the sky
The flesh of a man, that hides their true pow’r
from simple folk like you and I
Sons and daughter of Akatosh,
their brethren is our one true foe
Sent by their father to their brethren slay,
a legend that we all well know
I bring you a tale of wonder
I bring you a tale of death
I bring you a tale of dragons and fire
By the Divines! I’m out of breath!
So we have all heard the legend
but what one of us saw the signs?
We heard the old song, the Dragonborn comes!
Might as well have been empty lines
The Dragonborn comes! The Dragonborn came
They shook Tamriel with their voice
Our hero was here, and what did we do?
I tell you there was no rejoice
We saw them shout, we saw them fight,
we saw them solve every conflict
What else could they do, to all of us prove
they were the one Akatosh picked?
I bring you a tale of wonder
I bring you a tale of death
I bring you a tale of dragons and fire
By the Divines! I’m out of breath!
Remember the city Helgen?
Remember the city that burned?
Remember the dragon that razed a town
and the dragon from a man turned?
Nobody believed the stories
‘til they were presented with coals
Our doomsday is near, that Dragon is here!
Alduin, consumer of souls!
But somebody heard the calling
to take up the challenge and fight
Consumer of Dov, ‘gainst Eater of Worlds
they fought against wings black as night
I bring you a tale of wonder
I bring you a tale of death
I bring you a tale of dragons and fire
Of mortals wielding dovah breath
Powered by the souls of dragons
They released the almighty Shout
And down went the beast! Alduin’s deceased!
With a warrior’s mighty clout!
From Sovngarde they returned
in a blaze of glory and fire
The Dovahkiin reeked of blood and the smoke
of the curs’ed World Eater’s pyre!
