Throughout The Elder Scrolls Online are musical performers called bards that play and sing a number of different songs. Some of these bards are named, some not, and they can often be found in cities and taverns. These bards will also play purely instrumental numbers on the flute or the lute in between performances. Players can also perform a random bard song by using the /flute and /lute commands or beat a drum with /drum.
Malukah, a YouTube musician who came to prominence with her rendition of Skyrim's "The Dragonborn Comes", was invited to write the music for (and perform some of) the bardic songs in the game.
Elder Scrolls Online base gameEdit
There are ten songs in the base game of Elder Scrolls Online, performed by Malukah, Kari Wahlgren, Crispin Freeman (younger male voice), and Jim Cummings (aged male voice).
The songs can also be played on flute or lute by the player or bards.

Battle of Glenumbra MoorsEdit
- Who took up arms that winter dawn and to Glenumbra came?
- To raise their hand 'gainst tyrants, stand and die in freedom's name?
- Who stood upon the field that hour to answer Direnni's call?
- Men, Breton-born, all came that morn, to fend the land for all!
- Rise, rise! To freedom, rise! Arise, ye Breton sons and daughters.
- Ride, ride! To freedom, ride! Truth and glory to the brave!
- And when the battle, it was joined, Alessians three to one,
- Skies lit bright with magic's light and with magic, it was won.
- For all they stood on blessed ground whence all her power came,
- The rocks would yield, what might they wield, all in Direnni's name!
- Rise, rise! To freedom, rise! Arise, ye Breton sons and daughters.
- Ride, ride! To freedom, ride! Truth and glory to the brave!
- So children of this Breton land, ye best remember well
- All those who for High Rock stood: Brian, Ancois, Rielle
- Men of the North fought and stood forth
- Till all oppressors fell!
Chim-el Adabal: A BalladEdit
- When Akatosh slew Lorkhan,
- He ripped his heart right out,
- He hurled it across Tamriel,
- And the heart was heard to shout:
- Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
- The heart and soul of Men.
- Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
- Protect us till the end.
- The laughing heart sprayed blood afar,
- A gout on Cyrod fell,
- And like a dart shot to its mark
- Down in an Ayleid Well.
- Magicka fused the Lorkhan blood
- To crystal red and strong
- Then Wild Elves cut and polished it down
- To Chim-el Adabal.
- Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
- The heart and soul of Men.
- Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
- Protect us till the end.
- When Elves lost Nirn to Man,
- Akatosh gave the stone
- To Saint Alesh in token of
- Her right to sit the throne.
- Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
- The heart and soul of Men.
- Red Diamond! Red Diamond!
- Protect us till the end.
The Coldharbour CompactEdit
- Poor Gil-Var-Delle we still recall
- The God of Schemes consumed it all
- To Coldharbour went our Clockwork God
- To bargain on the Princes' sod
- They came to mock at Tribune small
- Schemer, Hunger, Hunter, all
- Pariah, Scryer, Destroyer came
- Raver and Twilight just the same
- From dread Daedra save us
- From Daedra keep us safe
- Forsake the ones that made us
- To fight a wrongful fate
- They sneered when Clockwork made his demand
- Till Twilight raised a hand
- "And what do you offer in return
- "To keep us from chastising Nirn?"
- Then Clockwork whispered long and low
- And what he said, no mortal can know
- From dread Daedra save us
- From Daedra keep us safe
- Forsake the ones that made us
- To fight a wrongful fate
Hymn to KyneEdit
- In darkness, your light shines through,
- Warrior Goddess, for you we strike true.
- When hope is lost and war rages on,
- Warrior Goddess, hear our blessed song!
- With a Nord's death, fallen in battle,
- Warrior Goddess, guide us through shadow.
- Grant us courage to fight and sharpen our swords,
- Warrior Goddess, mother of Nords!
IthguleoirEdit
- We all remember Annine Praul,
- Went out to sea one day;
- Ithguleoir bit off her head,
- Beneath the sea of gray, beneath the sea of gray!
- And what about Therese's son,
- A brave and handsome boy;
- Ithguleoir et him up,
- His mother's pride and joy, his mother's pride and joy!
- Oh how we mourn our good man Thom,
- Who swore he'd catch the dreadful beast;
- Ithguleoir et him whole,
- And then he ate the priest, and then he ate the priest!
Ode to Queen AyrennEdit
[verification needed — Transcribed by ear, needs confirmation of official title and actual wording]
- This song's for our queen, our beautiful elf
- Who would not be held up there on a shelf
- She sang and she danced, and she studied the past
- But her time as princess, it would not last
- Ayrenn, Ayrenn,
- Where have you been?
- No time for court intrigue
- And now you rule as queen
- She ran from the dresses, she ran from the pomp
- She could not right stomach more High Elven wrong
- Our future leader sailed from our shores
- To High Rock, Skyrim, and more
- Now what did she do while she was away?
- She met sword-dancers and taught them to sway
- Fought bears, ran dungeons, drank mead with the Nords
- Not once was she ever bored
- When push came to shove and her father lay dead
- She aimed for the Isles to put a crown on her head
- And we welcomed her back
- With a cheer and a dance
- Now let's all at once, now eagles advance!
- Ayrenn, Ayrenn,
- You are a great queen
- We toast to your health
- By moon, stars, and green
Over The SeasEdit
[verification needed — Transcribed by ear, needs confirmation of actual wording]
- Our land-bound mates can till their fields
- Or fight behind their masters' shields
- But a seaman's free to sing and play
- Over the seas and far away
- Over the seas and over the Lane
- For Ayrenn, Edhelorn or the Mane
- The lords command and we obey
- Over the seas and far away
- A sailor lives a happy life
- Free of land-bounds' toil and strife
- The soil he tills will be his grave
- Over the seas and far away
- Over the seas and over the Lane
- For Ayrenn, Edhelorn or the Mane
- The lords command and we obey
- Over the seas and far away
- Buck up, ye hearties, I foretell
- We turn to port with loot to sell
- Our coffers fill with gold today!
- Over the seas and far away
- Over the seas and over the Lane
- For Ayrenn, Edhelorn or the Mane
- The lords command and we obey
- Over the seas and far away
The PlanemeldEdit
[verification needed — Transcribed by ear, needs confirmation of official title and actual wording]
- Of all the Daedric princes
- There's one with shocking gall
- His goal: The domination and enslavement of us all
- The God of Schemes
- The Prince of Pain
- The Captain of Corruption
- He tills the land of Tamriel
- And sows the seeds of destruction
- The Planemeld is nigh
- The Planemeld is nigh
- Our world will disappear
- The Planemeld is nigh
- The Planemeld is nigh
- Our doom is drawing near
- Chains of darkness grip the land
- And draw it ever near
- To his nightmare, Coldharbour
- Where hope bows down to fear
- Tearing souls of innocents
- Into eternal pain
- While his daedric minions
- Sing praises of his name
- The Planemeld is nigh
- The Planemeld is nigh
- As Molag Bal commands
- The Planemeld is nigh
- The Planemeld is nigh
- Our doom is now at hand
Stagger and SwayEdit
- O my sweet love, she waits for me,
- Through storm and shine, cross land or sea.
- I run to her and together we,
- Sway as we kiss
- Sway as we kiss
- Her graceful shape I heave up high
- And in one hand I hold her nigh
- Her waiting lips are never dry
- Sway as we kiss
- Sway as we kiss
- Come the morn she goes
- The taste of her remains
- And in my mind, I see us sway
- Sway as we kiss
- Sway as we kiss
Three Hearts As OneEdit
[verification needed — Transcribed by ear, needs confirmation of actual wording]
- We tilled Skyrim's ground despite frozen toil
- We tended the kwama beneath Morrowind soil
- We hunted the wamasu in Black Marsh's glades
- We Three hearts had no need for blades
- Then they came from the seas, folded steel in their hands
- They burned down our homes and ravaged our lands
- Akaviri brought nothing but bloodshed and lies
- Our families were slain before our eyes
- With Three separate people they shared a cruel joke
- A choice between death or the yoke
- But then our Three people knew what must be done
- To end the oppression, all Three became One
- Forged by war the Ebonheart rose
- And drove the Akaviri back to the sea
- When the enemies begged for the mercy they lacked
- Three voices as one shouted "Blood for the Pact"
- Forged by war our story be told
- No shackles can hold us
- Whether moonstone or gold
NotesEdit
- While some of these songs are about the members or events of specific alliances, bards in other alliance zones may be found singing these songs. For example, bards in Ebonheart Pact zones may be heard singing "Ode to Queen Ayrenn".

LyricsEdit
Red Mountain Drinking SongEdit
- It sleeps like a giant, our tower of stones,
- Red Mountain, Red Mountain, all rumbles and moans.
- It tosses and turns, pray it won't wake,
- And then without warning the ground starts to shake!
- As the world ends, the ground starts to shake! So—
- Heft a flask and say a prayer,
- Red Mountain's about to explode.
- Have a drink but be aware,
- It's doom the mountain forebodes.
- Lift a glass and curse the day,
- Red Mountain's about to burst.
- Drink all your cares away,
- Who wants to die with a thirst?
- Die with a thirst!
- Knock back a fiery flin, amid the smoke and ash.
- Drain the flask of whiskey we'll be drunk in a flash!
- Let's guzzle sujamma amid the fire and fumes
- Tip back the jar of liquor let inebriation bloom!
- As the world ends, let inebriation bloom! So—
- Heft a flask and say a prayer,
- Red Mountain's about to explode.
- Have a drink but be aware,
- It's doom the mountain forebodes.
- Lift a glass and curse the day,
- Red Mountain's about to burst.
- Drink all your cares away,
- Who wants to die with a thirst?
- Die with a thirst!
Six are the Walking WaysEdit
- Six are the walking ways, enigma, enemy, teachers
- Begat by precursor gods, come we now their creatures
- Embody splendor in your name, and wisdom in your features
- By the sword I mean the night
- By the word I mean the dead
- By the sword I mean a sigh
- By the word I mean the end
- Six are the guardians, three fore and three incarnate
- Here to test your hero's ways, and show that you can learn it
- The truest works we shall behold are those made by the silent
- By the sword I mean the night
- By the word I mean the dead
- By the sword I mean a sigh
- By the word I mean the end
- By the sword I mean the night
- By the word I mean the dead
- By the sword I mean a sigh
- By the word I mean the end
The Cliff-Strider SongEdit
- While cliff-racers spread their wings, so broad,
- And lesser birds bend their knees, so awed,
- You snarl, and hiss, and spit, and screech!
- I hear the guars grunting each to each,
- "What a terror! What savage speech!"
- Oh to be like you.
- Your temper flares at the smallest offense,
- You snatch our guars and mangle our fence!
- You nest in our lofts, spray dung on the wall,
- Tear up our roofs like a mid-summer squall,
- Frighten our children and make the babes bawl,
- Promise you'll never change.
- Cliff-strider, stride so high,
- On fiery crags, you touch the sky!
- Cliff-strider, stride so high,
- Screech loud as thunder, may you never die!
- You're vengeful and petty like my mother-in-law,
- You stink like you've got old fish in your craw,
- Your shrieks shatter glass, and rattle my ears,
- Your rotten-fig smell brings grown mer to tears,
- You piss on our pillows, they smell bad for years,
- You're Vvardefell's pride and joy!
- Cliff-strider, stride so high,
- On fiery crags, you touch the sky!
- Cliff-strider, stride so high,
- Screech loud as thunder, may you never die!
Armiger Marching SongEdit
- Step light, stride far,
- O ye Buoyant Armigers,
- To glory days and triumphant nights,
- March on through your bloody fight!
- Sing proud, sound roars,
- O ye Buoyant Armigers,
- Raise voices in courageous cheers,
- Give those heathens cause for fear!
- Stand tall, spoil wars,
- O ye Buoyant Armigers,
- Best their warriors by the score,
- Take a bow and best a dozen more!
- Set bones, sum scars,
- O ye Buoyant Armigers,
- Wear the badge of those who lead,
- A few new nicks as proof of deeds!
- Stand tall, spoil wars,
- O ye Buoyant Armigers,
- Best their warriors by the score,
- Take a bow and best a dozen more!
Brave Little Scrib SongEdit
- There's a kwama we all know,
- Who's as bold as any Dunmer,
- You can see by Torchbug's glow,
- Little Scrib, she's such a wonder.
- Play, play! Life's an adventure!
- Run, run! As fast as you dare!
- Sing, sing! Imagine the pleasure!
- Everything's fun ... when you don't have a care!
- Mean Old Torchbug, full of tricks,
- His voice crackling like fire,
- Advice he shares conflicts,
- Sends Little Scrib into trouble dire.
- Play, play! Life's an adventure!
- Run, run! As fast as you dare!
- Sing, sing! Imagine the pleasure!
- Everything's fun ... when you don't have a care!
- Brave Little Scrib with the heart so pure,
- Always in search of adventure,
- She says "Maybe tomorrow."
- He says "If you insist,
- But that treasure, you'll miss."
- Play, play! Life's an adventure!
- Run, run! As fast as you dare!
- Sing, sing! Imagine the pleasure!
- Everything's fun ... when you don't have a care!
Song of the WordEdit
- The words you hear are based on meat—don't let the sophists fool you
- Fear not upon the walking way—just let hysteria rule you
- In their own world, the mad have laws—but only if they're written
- The wise can write them different rules—for by the word they're smitten
- Use no words for apologies—if you seek absolution
- Action is the walking way— and words are no solution
- The wise avoid apology—when ravers must be beaten
- So sing not with the dusty tongue—no word is true till eaten
NotesEdit
- Both "Six are the Walking Ways" and "The Song of the Word" use and paraphrase lines from The 36 Lessons of Vivec. "Six are the Walking Ways" is from Sermon 6, while "The Song of the Word" is from Sermon 27.
- The refrain of "The Cliff-Strider Song" is a reference to Aldos Othran's cliff racer song in Oblivion.

Charge of the WelkynarEdit
- When Summerset, o Summerset, our fair and pretty land,
- Is threatened from beyond the clear and shining sea,
- The Welkynar, our Gryphon Knights, take wing and make a stand,
- With courage, strength, and bravery, they keep the Altmer free!
- Charge, o Gryphon Knights,
- Fly on and fight our foes!
- Charge, o Welkynar,
- Take wing with swords and bows!
- From Alinor to Shimmerene and every point between,
- The Welkynar ride the winds and defend our gleaming isle,
- Whether commoner, or noble, or merchant, or queen,
- The Gryphon Knights protect us all, always with a smile!
- Charge, o Gryphon Knights,
- Fly on and fight our foes!
- Charge, o Welkynar,
- Take wing with swords and bows!
- Charge, o Gryphon Knights,
- Fly on and fight our foes!

Folly of ManEdit
- Listen 'round, I've a warning to sound,
- About an overgrown weed.
- I don't mean to forebode, but this little ode,
- Is a lesson you best heed.
- Now, our story unfolds, upon a pitiful mold,
- Was made to thrive on rot.
- This unsightly staph, was a trickster's last laugh,
- Long after his battle was fought.
- The Sundering, if you were wondering,
- When the heavens dropped out of the sky.
- They hit with a thud, and gave birth to the mud,
- Making up this mortal sty.
- It was a hell of a mess, but I digress,
- My story's about the swine.
- What took root in this land, were seeds called Man,
- That sprung up like fungus from grime.
- Their lives may be short, and lacking import,
- But keep an eye to their blundering.
- It's tempting to jest, about this simple pest,
- That's until you've seen their plundering.
- For when Men bound, to the Doom Drum's sound,
- You'll learn what the Corpse-God wrought.
- Trinimac didn't know, with his final blow,
- Just how badly he'd been caught.
- I don't mean to forebode, but this little ode,
- Is a lesson you best heed.
Praise Be (Ancestor Song)Edit
- Praise we now Mara
- O Goddess of Love
- Bless us with children
- Our mother above
- Praise we now Xarxes
- Who transcribes our story
- Honor the scrivener
- Archivist of glory
- Clap hands in praise
- Exalt the Divines!
- Clap hands and praise
- Our ancestral lines!
- Our lines!
- Praise we now Y'ffre
- O first Ehlnofey
- God of the forest
- Earth Bones showed the way
- Praise we now Stendarr
- Apologist of Men
- Lord of compassion
- For the lesser of ken
- Clap hands in praise
- Exalt the Divines!
- Clap hands and praise
- Our ancestral lines!
- Our lines!
- Last praise Auri-El
- Forefather of all
- Formed us to be like him
- Wise, noble, and tall
- Clap hands in praise
- Exalt the Divines!
- Clap hands and praise
- Our ancestral lines!
The Star-Eyed Bride of AlinorEdit
- Eyes of polished amber, hair swept like a comet's tail
- Soul alight with love and joy under pregnant golden sails
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- Lost in storm and spray
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- That cruel fate took away
- White swan feathers fluttered from her ivory bridal gown
- And unsung vows slipped from her lips, eager to be found
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- Gone beneath the waves
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- The sea became her grave
- The clouds they gathered overhead, ripping sail from mast
- The hull creaked like a coffin's hinge as the captain yelled 'hold fast!'
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- She never made it home
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- Drowned in brine and foam
- Lightning crashed upon the sea, wind howled with the swells
- I strained to reach her glistening hand, but into the depths she fell
- Upon the beach I wander still, to gaze out at the sea
- Hoping to see her shining face smiling back at me
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- Whose last words were my name
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- I still weep from the shame
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- Lost in storm and spray
- My star-eyed bride of Alinor
- That cruel fate took away
- That cruel fate took away.
The Tale of SyrabaneEdit
- Gather round and hear the tale
- Of Archmage Syrabane
- Through his mercy and his might
- He stopped the Thrassian Plague
- He knew war was the only way
- To stop the plague at hand
- So he called for aid
- All throughout the land
- Oh, Syrabane, oh Syrabane
- Ye mer of godly fate
- Oh Syrabane, oh Syrabane
- The youngest of the Eight
- Man and Mer took up the call
- They knew they could not fail
- Together they combined their might
- The All Flags Navy sailed
- With Bendu Olo at his side
- Slinging sword and spell
- He beat back the tide
- The Coral Kingdom fell
- Oh, Syrabane, oh Syrabane
- Ye mer of godly fate
- Oh Syrabane, oh Syrabane
- The youngest of the Eight
- Now good mer, remember well
- The tale of Syrabane
- For when dark times came to pass

LyricsEdit
Hear the Hist SpeakEdit
- Sitting beneath its swaying leaves
- Hearing its words within the breeze
- Speak, hear the Hist speak
- Hear the Hist speak its words to me
- Below the roots forever spread
- Collecting souls of our dead
- Speak, hear the Hist speak
- Hear the Hist speak its words to me
- From its sap we gain our life
- By its judgement we end strife
- Tribe and Hist, sky and sun
- All connected, all are one.
- All connected, all are one.
- Sitting beneath its swaying leaves
- Hearing its words within the breeze
- Speak, hear the Hist speak
- Hear the Hist speak its words to me
- Hear the Hist speak its words to me
Ku-VasteiEdit

- A fear that leads to a stagnation
- Something must now clear the way

- Clearing all their doubt and dread
- They who see past yesterday
- They who will be Ku-Vastei
- Ku-Vastei, Ku-Vastei
- That which sparks the needed change
- Ku-Vastei, Ku-Vastei
- One who sees the needed way
- Scales of shadow, nothing speakers
- Their dark words will be our teachers
- Those who herald word of root
- Mind the Hist and then dispute
- Spells that come from words of power
- Sun and rain that grows the flower
- Sorrow leading to great mirth
- Death that then becomes rebirth
- Ku-Vastei, Ku-Vastei
- That which sparks the needed change
- Ku-Vastei, Ku-Vastei
- One who sees the needed way
- One who sees the needed way.
ShunateiEdit
- Shunatei, shunatei
- The belly of regret
- These feelings of despair
- That I cannot forget
- Shunatei, shunatei
- Why do you last?
- Why do I cling
- To my troubled past?
- Despair over lost ones
- Those I must avenge
- Hatred and sadness
- A thirst for revenge
- They blind me from reaching the path ahead
- And so I am lost to my dread
- Shunatei, shunatei
- The belly of regret
- These feelings of despair
- That I cannot forget
- Shunatei, shunatei
- It strikes me blind
- If I move ahead
- I can't look behind
- I will become like the river below
- I will clear the rubble of my hate and woe
- I will release these dark thoughts that cloud my mind
- I'll leave what has been behind
- Shunatei, shunatei
- You haunt me no more
- For my heart is the bird
- That has learned to soar
- Shunatei, shunatei
- I will ascend
- For all that has begun
- One day must end

- Singing the song that calls to him
- Moonlight serenade at my whim
- Dancing among the flowers fine
- Sleeping within the dreaming deep
- Chasing the butterflies he sends
- Hoping that summer never ends
- Sleeping within the dreaming deep
- Hoping that summer never ends
- Sleeping within the dreaming deep
- Vistas unfold before me now
- Sharing their secrets joyfully
- They're bright in hue yet darkly dire
- They warm me with softly glowing fire
- They're bright in hue yet darkly dire
- They warm me with softly glowing fire
- Moving within the worlds between
- Following all the gemstone birds
- Yearning to hear his whispered words
- Moving within the worlds between
- Yearning to hear his whispered words
- Moving within the worlds between

The Song of Khunzar-riEdit

- He wrestles giants just for fun and charges into senche's den!
- Who is he? Khunzar-ri! Khunzar-ri!
- Sing it loud sing it clear. Fighter, lover, poet, thief
- He's one khajiit to cheer!
- Who is he, Khunzar-ri, Khunzar-ri
- Sing it proud, sing it strong! Brave and sly, rarely shy.
- He never steers you wrong
- No dungeon cage can hold him no lock can bar his way,
- Some stories claim that he's a god or so they say,
- He dragged the light from Jone and Jode down to the growing fields,
- And now we have moon-sugar and all the good it yields.
- Who is he? Khunzar-ri! Khunzar-ri!
- Sing it loud sing it clear. Fighter, lover, poet, thief

LyricsEdit
The Burning of SenchalEdit
- Though the sun shines down on me
- The darkness years ago makes me weep.
- And after flames devoured their breath,
- I stood above, mourning all that death.
- What then became of me?
- I cannot say.
- As the moons shone down on me,
- I chose to follow an ill-made path.
- Staring from a starlit sky,
- Moons' stark radiance witnessed them die.
- What then became of me?
- I dare not say.
- We must survive, despite the ravages of life, cruel life
- With its suffering and injustice
- As death surrounds us.
- But can we thrive when all hope has fled before us?
- All that's left is grief and shallow graves.
- The march of darkness goes on.
- What can we do? We just survive.
- Decades later who are we,
- And after that dire crucible of death?
- Did we pay too high a price
- To walk away, knowing all we know?
- What then became of us?
- No one should say.
- We have survived, despite the ravages of life, cruel life
- With its suffering and injustice
- When death hounded us.
- But can we thrive after what we paid to get here?
- Who are we now? We dare not say.
- The march of darkness goes on.
- What can we do? What have we become?
Demon from the EastEdit
- Kingdoms stretch across the sands
- Peace warms our joyful lands,
- A heart that shines through the dark
- Wrapped in the threads of time.
- A demon rises from the East
- Followed by a crimson beast,
- Oh the earth is torn and scorched
- Our people know but fear now.
- A warrior raises sword to the sun
- Calling warriors to follow,
- Alkosh guides threads yet unspun
- His champion goes forth.
- His champion goes forth.
- Soldiers come from foreign shores
- To join us in our dreadful war,
- Taking stride by the warrior's side
- And prepare for battle.
- Crimson beast nobly bestows
- A horn to defeat his vile foe,
- Its call forces fiends to fall
- Victory seems so close now.
- The warrior makes one last stand
- Against the dreaded demon,
- Ice and blood staining peaceful sands
- Nighttime fills the sky.
- Chains and spells bind the demon tight
- Locking it away in darkness,
- Soldiers celebrate in new dawn's light
- And peace reigns once more.
The Gambler's ArtEdit
- Hello, my friend, come take a seat,
- grab something sweet, and join us for some fun.
- The tickle felt in this one's ear
- as you drew near says you've got a tidy sum.
- The clink of coins from your jaunty loins
- Sing of riches to be won.
- Let down your mane, join in our game.
- We've only just begun!
- Place your wager, raise the stakes
- Build a tower from your drakes.
- Draw your fortune, toss your wealth
- Risk it all, you'll have your health.
- And if you wind up on the street
- At least you lived like true Khajiit.
- I see, my friend, that you have pluck
- but you're short on luck—that hand was hard to beat.
- And if you find you're feeling cross
- about this tragic loss, there's a cause for your defeat.
- You took your chance on a furtive glance
- At cards that couldn't compete.
- But this cat's eyes, they tell no lies
- Next time be more discreet.
- Take a gamble, oops you're done.
- Now you're broke, tuck tail and run!
- Don't make a scene or swear and roar.
- Tossed out, to hoots and howls galore
- Next time your money's on deceit
- Have the good sense to try and cheat.
Song of Alkosh's ChampionEdit
- Halls loom ahead of me
- My heart is yet untried
- I know it is my destiny
- To walk the path with pride.
- Guiding winds push behind
- Darkness lies ahead
- The threads begin to unwind
- I must swallow my dread.
- Khenarthi's winds will guide me
- To brave the path with pride
- Lorkhaj's steps will bind me
- To follow in his stride.
- Alkosh will purify me
- To mend the sands of time
- His mask will sanctify me
- A champion of pride.
- I ride the winds cunningly
- And never break my stride
- I face the darkness valiantly
- The lanterns are my guide.
- When the threads are all spun
- When I've earned my right
- I'll stand before the Endless One
- And bow before her might.
- Khenarthi's winds will guide me
- To brave the path with pride
- Lorkhaj's steps will bind me
- To follow in his stride.
- Alkosh will purify me
- To mend the sands of time
- His mask will sanctify me
- A champion of pride.

A Threnody to Lost LoveEdit
- Deep within my mind
- The storms, they gather inside me
- Deep within my mind
- The tides rise far too high
- Hiding in my mind
- The sorrow whispers freely
- Fear is so unkind
- Shouting through my tears
- Please don't find me
- I can't be free
- Please come find me
- Your death haunts me
- Your death haunts me
- Deep within my soul
- The fires burn inside of me
- Deep within my soul
- Pain rips through all I am
- Lurking in my soul
- Loneliness beseeches me
- I'm no longer whole
- Screaming through my tears
- Please don't find me
- I can't be free
- Please come find me
- Your death haunts me
- Your death haunts me
- Your death haunts me
Nord War SongEdit
- Take your fill of golden mead,
- Let it spill like blood across your blade.
- The horns of battle call upon the strongest,
- Only in war are warriors made.
- Hone your axes til they gleam,
- Like a light upon the frozen snow.
- Relish in the sweet, sweet sound,
- As it nestles in the breast of your foe.
- No true Nord fears death,
- They hold it in high regard!
- Take courage, those with hearts so bold,
- A place awaits you in Sovngarde!
- There's a cry in every warrior's heart,
- A triumphant, hearty, mighty toll.
- Ysgramor's courage steadies your hand,
- His strength imbues your soul.
- No true Nord fears death,
- They hold it in high regard!
- Take courage, those with hearts so bold,
- A place awaits you in Sovngarde!
Old Nord Drinking SongEdit
- I climbed Shearpoint Mountain,
- Drinking my store of mead.
- My vision got so blurry,
- I couldn't hardly read.
- I found a warm dry cave,
- Never saw a sign or warning.
- Curled up with an old frost troll,
- Which surprised us both come morning.
- Mead, mead, mead, mead!
- It's all you really need.
- It's sweet and it's strong,
- So good it can't be wrong,
- Mead, mead, mead, mead!
- Gave that troll a bottle,
- She drank it down right quick.
- She danced around me happily,
- Then hit me with a stick.
- The old troll was snoring,
- When I woke hours later.
- She'd drunk up all my mead,
- But I couldn't really hate her.
- Mead, mead, mead, mead!
- It's all you really need.
- It's sweet and it's strong,
- So good it can't be wrong,
- Mead, mead, mead, mead!
- It's all you really need.
- It's sweet and it's strong,
- So good it can't be wrong,
- Mead, mead, mead!
Frelytte and Pular: A Love SongEdit
- Sweet Frelytte the Fair
- Hair the color of hay,
- Like spun gold and honey
- Bright sun at midday.
- She loved a boy named Pular
- And he loved her, too.
- As fiercely as ice entombs lakes,
- As surely as spring melts through.
- Her mouth as red as snowberries,
- His hands calloused and true.
- He left to hunt an ice wraith, saying
- "I'll become worthy of you."
- After four nights of waiting,
- Frelytte rode into the snow.
- The mountains howled with darkness,
- The moon sank ever so low.
- But soon her horse grew tired,
- The cold did lull her to sleep.
- She curled up beneath a tree,
- Until the storm buried her deep.
- Pular returned triumphantly,
- He'd killed the wraith as he foretold.
- He stopped at the base of a tree,
- Where he saw a tuft of gold.
- He brushed away the snow, found her
- Pale as cream and cold as death.
- But Divines smiled on their love,
- And when he kissed her she drew breath.
- "I've slayed the beast," Pular proudly cried,
- And Frelytte wept tears of joy.
- Hand in hand, they ran home to marry,
- Theirs was a love that winter could not destroy.
The Pale ManEdit
- A stranger came upon our hold,
- Ghostly for all to behold.
- Mute and shivering by our fire,
- What conjured a visage so dire,
- A voice so hollow, could barely be heard,
- Murmured warning with just a few words.
- The Pale Man comes,
- On cold wind and dark clouds
- The Pale Man comes,
- To snatch away your loved ones
- The Pale Man comes.
- No sooner was the warning sound
- The first snows touched the ground.
- Shrinking from the howling winds
- And praying as the sunlight dims.
- We barred our doors against the night,
- Gathered close and huddled tight.
- The Pale Man comes,
- Wrapped in a cloak of snow
- The Pale Man comes,
- His touch will chill you to the bone,
- The Pale Man comes.
- As the frightful storm wore on
- We stretched out to wait for dawn.
- There would be no rest
- Awaiting our unwanted guest.
- Clutching hard our swords
- At the clatter of the boards.
- The Pale Man comes,
- He passes like a ghost
- The Pale Man comes,
- Vanishing without a trace.
- At last our night did end
- Without the visitation portend.
- As our vigilance began to fade
- I turned to where the stranger laid.
- But they were nowhere to be seen
- Nothing remained, just an icy sheen.

Hail to the Ancient SpiritsEdit
- Hail Hircine, Lord of the Hunt
- Master of wood and hill
- All things that live must chase or flee
- In death alone fall still
- Hail Namira, Spirit Queen
- Skein-weaver, silent midwife
- Each beginning must have its end
- Dark mother of death and life
- Hail to the ancient spirits
- Teachers, testers, weal and woe
- Hard lessons, but needful too
- For this world is full of foes
- Hail Molag Bal, the Prince of Pain
- Brutal master, lord of troubles
- Giver of strength to slay and strive
- For men are meant to struggle
- Hail to the ancient spirits
- Teachers, testers, weal and woe
- Hard lessons, but needful too
- For this world is full of foes
- Hail to the ancient spirits
- Hail to the ancient spirits
Reach Hunting HymnEdit
- The chase begins like a song
- Paws pounding through the leaves
- Wings tearing against thorns
- The shadow of the elk looms
- The shadow of the elk looms
- The endless forest beckons
- Your fear smells sharp and thrilling
- To be hunted is to be alive
- To be tested and worthy
- Run, little rabbit, run
- Your skin would make such a prize
- Feel the tear of teeth at flesh
- The Hunting Grounds await you
- The Hunting Grounds await you
- The endless forest beckons
- Your fear smells sharp and thrilling
- To be hunted is to be alive
- To be tested and worthy
- To be tested and worthy
Reach Witch ChantEdit
- Give heed, blood kin
- Hear us sing out
- Our time falls short
- As shadows grow long
- Mighty spirits
- With wide eyes wait
- Wolf fangs stay sharp
- To save the pack
- Give heed, Great Beast
- Hear us sing out
- With sinew tough,
- And muscle tight
- Through us give strength
- And our spirit shall pour
- Upon the dirt
- For your reward
- Give heed, Black Fly
- Hear us sing out
- Filled with nothing
- Know our hunger
- Decay's vigor
- And Void's might
- They empty our chests
- Of soul or need
Red Eagle's SongEdit
- Remember, remember, child of the Reach
- Faolan's bloody story
- Remember, remember, child of the Reach
- Red Eagle's final glory
- Shrieking eagles cried his name
- As he rose from mother's womb
- A child born with the blood-elk's eye
- Whose rage spelled diamond's doom
- Despair, despair as Hestra came
- South-born hag of White-Stone Tower
- With bands of iron spears and shields
- She turned the king-hearts black and sour
- He warred and howled as seasons passed
- Slaying the Empire's daughter and son
- But Reachfolk fell by arrow and spear
- Till clan-friends he had none
- At last he traded his Eagle's heart
- To the ravens who covet our power
- In his breast they planted the briar seed
- That grows from the corpse's flower
- Thousands fell to his flaming sword
- As the blood-sun rose and set
- Despite the bite of a hundred arrows
- He fought till death he met
- Let all remember Faolan's rage
- For it dwells in the heart of us all
- Any who covet the sacred Reach
- Will suffer our spears and fall!

LyricsEdit
Across the Niben BarEdit
- From Cyrodiil to Topal Bay
- The Niben's back is wide
- Good ships along Leyawiin-quay
- Await the morning tide.
- In Aleswell we took on ore
- At Weye, Colovian red
- Timber we shipped in Bravil-port
- Then sailed for Blackwood Head.
- One, two! One, two! Cast far, cast true!
- Hey leadsman, call your mark!
- Shoal-water lurks in foggy murk
- Across the Niben Bar!
- In Torval we bought sugar cane
- In Southpoint furs and dyes
- Then sold it all at Daggerfall
- And drank in Stros M'Kai!
- The Gold Coast has silk and wine
- We turn for home again
- In Leyawiin-town my sweetheart pines
- To see her sailing-man!
- One, two! One, two! Cast far, cast true!
- Hey leadsman, call your mark!
- For nereids dwell beneath the swells
- Across the Niben Bar!
- One, two! One, two! Cast far, cast true!
- Hey leadsman, call your mark!
- For sailors roam upon the foam
- Across the Niben Bar!
Imperial Deception SongEdit
- Golden goblets overflow with wine
- A sultry dancer with eyes so fine
- A circlet of rubies crowns her head
- Tangled blankets as you fall in bed
- Hot grease drips into the blazing fire
- Grapes dangle as mouths open with desire
- Blue velvet and golden trim abound
- So many sordid delights surround
- But what is the cost of such wonderful things?
- No amount of gold can hide the rot it brings
- Fangs lurk beneath brightly painted lips
- As innocence falls like arrows from our ships
- We dance until our tired feet bleed
- Gorge upon all the delicacies and mead
- The lovely deception will tarnish the gold
- When we finally realize how much we've sold
The Liberation of LeyawiinEdit
- Thunder rolls as Sai Sahan
- Nears Leyawiin as war rages on
- Leovic's warriors are on the attack
- While traitors strike Sai's back
- Arrows seeking, and swords swinging
- Death knells will soon be ringing
- His face grim, drawing strength from within
- His sword swings for Leyawiin
- Traitors behind and Longhouse before
- Both seek the swordmaster's death in this war
- Sai Sahan fights to cheat such a fate
- Alone now he battles through the gate.
- Inside the walls, Sai draws a breath
- Facing two armies, he deals out death
- With only sword and wits to defeat them
- He fights for Leyawiin's freedom.
- Traitors behind and Longhouse before
- Both seek the swordmaster's death in this war
- Sai Sahan fights to cheat such a fate
- Within the city he seeks to liberate.
- The forces converge, but Sai's blade is unstilled
- Leovic flees, Sai's task is fulfilled
- He stands on a mountain of traitors' corpses
- Defender victorious against lost causes
- And the people of Leyawiin are free!
May Disaster Turn AwayEdit
- The ground shakes, the sky quakes,
- The forests are ablaze.
- Darkness falls, and chaos spreads,
- Betrayal fills the days.
- May disaster turn away from us,
- Send your earthquakes to our neighbors.
- May death and destruction pass us by,
- Let fire and flood fill another's chambers.
- Storms strike from distant clouds,
- Infernos rage, death amasses.
- Blackness looms, discord ahead,
- Betrayal like a sword blade flashes,
- When open wide the gates of Oblivion.
- May disaster turn away from us,
- Send your earthquakes to our neighbors.
- May death and destruction pass us by,
- Let fire and flood fill another's chambers.
- Lord of Destruction, Prince of Disaster,
- Give our people their space.
- God of Bloodshed, King of Betrayal,
- Go visit your troubles some other place.
- May disaster turn away from us,
- Send your earthquakes to our neighbors.
- May death and destruction pass us by,
- Let fire and flood fill another's chambers.
On Topal BayEdit
- I found my love on Topal Bay,
- Where the river meets the sea.
- We oft watched wavy waters churn,
- From Leyawiin's towers three.
- Hie, hie, the mist in the morning!
- Hie, hie, the fog rolls in!
- Hie, hie, the storms come without warning,
- Along the coast of Topal Bay!
- I made my wealth on Topal Bay,
- As a sailor on the sea.
- And with the gold that filled the hold,
- My love I gave this ring to thee.
- Hie, hie, the mist in the morning!
- Hie, hie, the fog rolls in!
- Hie, hie, the storms come without warning,
- Along the coast of Topal Bay!
- I lost my love on Topal Bay,
- As she strolled along the sea.
- She never saw the river troll,
- And never had a chance to flee.
- Hie, hie, the mist in the morning!
- Hie, hie, the fog rolls in!
- Hie, hie, the storms come without warning,
- Along the coast of Topal Bay!

LyricsEdit
A Supplicant's SongEdit
- Free us from Mehrunes Dagon, we plea
- Chaos he spawns upon us with glee
- Spare all from hardship and grant calm repose
- Share with us safety from all he'd impose.
- Help us stay sheltered from Dagon's harsh fires
- Shield us from the wicked harm he inspires
- We serve as pawns within his many games
- Guard everyone from his destructive aims.
- Blunt all the edges of Dagon's dire blades
- Staunch the dread bleeding from his grave crusades.
- His followers revel in such ghastly strife
- Please put an end to his spilling of life.
- Aid us when Dagon's disasters unfold
- Grant all succor beyond our stout threshold
- Keep us unfettered from ambition's chains
- Else all will perish from ruinous pains.
Dremora Never DieEdit
- Far from our homes, we still drink our fill
- The ale here is strange, an immortal swill!
- Our friends here don't drink, nor do they eat
- To exist without any fun is quite the feat!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- We don't know if they're fauna or flora!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- They'll be here long after we're no more, ah!
- It must be so boring, but we're here to assist,
- Us death-fearing mortals who live in their midst,
- What good is a drink when you can't get drunk?
- To frolic with mortals, to what depths they have sunk!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- We don't know if they're fauna or flora!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- They'll be here long after we're no more, ah!
- Don't judge them too harshly, it's all in good fun,
- The company here is second to none!
- Unchanging and sleepless and up to no good,
- Our immortal friends are just misunderstood!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- We don't know if they're fauna or flora!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- Their presence is hard to ignore, ah!
- Drink, drink, drink to Dremora!
- They'll be here long after we're no more, ah!
Fargrave's SongEdit
- Where spirits stay late
- In the shining night's slate
- And coals glow to light the brave.
- Red footprints lead straight,
- through a tavern's doorway.
- A chorus here sings of Fargrave!
- Where giant's bones rest far from the Ashpit,
- And the roads outside are dark and unlit,
- It's the greatest of cities discovered by clan,
- Reaching it may take an entire life's span.
- All are welcome in Fargrave!
- Some think it's Apocrypha, they are quite wrong.
- This city of cities we immortalize in song.
- With profits for all and mercy for none
- Prosperity's work will never be done.
- The bazaars never close in Fargrave!
- Where spirits stay late
- In the shining night's slate
- And coals glow to light the brave.
- Red footprints lead straight,
- through a tavern's doorway.
- A chorus here sings of Fargrave!
- More vibrant than Meridia's Colored Rooms,
- And with all the Daedra, there's very few tombs.
- Our trade and our commerce fill every last street,
- You'll remember each stranger and friend you meet,
- When you cross into Fargrave!
- The stars of the Void shine far away,
- While Daedric merchants haggle by day.
- The Plaza of Portals leads everywhere,
- And the Bearer's Rest has drinks to spare.
- There's always a party in Fargrave!
- A chorus here sings of Fargrave!
The Fool of FargraveEdit
- Nobody really knows her
- She doesn't even know herself
- She's the hermit of the hovels
- In this place of many portals and planar trade
- The mortals hold out empty palms
- And she fills them without a thought
- In a city built on commerce
- She doesn't care about profit or loss
- She's the woman in the mask
- A puzzle without solution
- Living a life of seclusion
- The fool of Fargrave feels your pain
- Nobody really knows her
- She doesn't even know herself
- She's the darling of the alleys
- Trapped behind a curious mask she can't remove
- The mortals weep and cry out
- They're hungry and hurting too
- She does whatever she can to aid them
- And never seeking favor or coin
- She's the woman in the mask
- A puzzle without solution
- Living a life of seclusion
- The fool of Fargrave lends a hand
When the Spires FellEdit
- Thunder peeled and the sky split wide
- The beast arrived with his fiends
- Ripped a hole where the temple stood
- But we refused to fall to our knees
- Slammed down with a boom and a shriek
- Clouds of dust filling our lungs
- Crying gets you nowhere
- Keep your heads down and hold your tongues
- Storms keep roiling overhead
- And the beast stalks around outside
- But as long as I stay in Wretched Spire
- I can keep my hopes alive
- Hear this, you wretched listeners
- Though this town may protect from strife
- No one can say how long we'll last
- Standing on the edge of life
- Storms keep roiling overhead
- And the beast stalks around outside
- But as long as I stay in Wretched Spire
- I can keep my hopes alive
- The spire's bell no longer tolls
- No answers found in any tome
- Outcasts all, hide from Dagon's sight
- Pray we can find our way home
- Pray we can find our way home

LyricsEdit
The Gonfalon MaidEdit
[verification needed — Transcribed by ear, needs confirmation of official title and actual wording]
- A Gonfalon maid went upon the lea
- To where sunny flowers stood
- For she loved the sun, and she loved the green
- And she danced merrily beside the wood
- She danced beside the wood
- The lad she loved went down to the shore
- A sailing man for to be
- For he loved the wind, and he loved the spray
- And he roamed upon the roiling sea
- He roamed upon the sea
- Oh, how long she waits upon
- Upon the strand
- Oh, how long today, oh
- Oh, how long, how long he's hoped
- To claim her hand
- Oh, how long she waits, oh
- And hard it was that they never met
- Until he came home to stay
- He built their house between hills and sea
- He built it along Gonfalon Bay
- Along Gonfalon Bay
- Oh, how long she waits upon
- Upon the strand
- Oh, how long today, oh
- Oh, how long, how long he's hoped
- To claim her hand
- Oh, how long she waits, oh
Edit
- When sickness came unto our shores
- From across the Abecean Sea
- The good folk shook, the bad folk sighed
- And told this tale to me
- Dead, dead, so many dead
- From Daggerfall to Dune
- It was the slug plague they said
- And blamed the Sload for our ruin
- Our rulers cried out that all was lost
- But not the Anvil King
- He boarded his ship and raised the sails
- And sailors began to sing
- The All Flags! The All Flags!
- Twas led by the Anvil King
- Of its ships and sailors we sing!
- We sing! The All Flags!
- They fell in line from far and wide
- The heroes heeded his call
- Breton, Redguard, Elf, and more
- Their fleet headed into a squall
- They sailed the stormy sea as one
- To crush a terrible foe
- They braved red skies and thunderous waves
- As deadly storms did blow
- The All Flags! The All Flags!
- Twas led by the Anvil King
- Of its ships and sailors we sing!
- We sing! The All Flags!
- They closed on the enemy isle
- Just as fog rolled in
- Whatever horrors they might face
- They knew that they must win
- The allied fleet besieged the Sload
- With terrors of their own
- Unyielding until the isle did crack
- The slugs reaped what they'd sown
- The All Flags! The All Flags!
- Twas led by the Anvil King
- Of its ships and sailors we sing!
- We sing! The All Flags!
Dirge of the Stormy SeasEdit
- When lightning strikes far from shore
- And the fates still my crew till they shout no more
- I hope to be on the prow standing tall
- Spitting in the face of life's final call
- We fought and we loved folks on shore
- When we're gone, many drinks they'll pour
- For the water's deep and stormy sea cold
- As life sinks into the blackness below the hold
- So raise a toast with a mug in your hand
- To those we've lost and ones waiting on land
- Our bodies may be consigned to the foamy depths
- But it's better than hearing our beloved's sad breaths
- We set sail without knowing what's in store
- So we sing and we drink and we chance explore
- For when life's over and work's at end
- I'm pleased to call these sailors my friends
Blessings of Y'ffreEdit
[verification needed — Transcribed by ear, needs confirmation of official title and actual wording]
- Fill us with nature's glory
- And guide us on our path
- Dance free with exultation
- A fear in no one's wrath
- Stone's firmness set below us
- Her waters spring forth free
- Blue skies alight with sunfire
- Bound into blessings three
- Blessings of Y'ffre
- Blessings of Y'ffre
- Blessings of Y'ffre
- Peace settle deep within you
- A blessing from the stone
- Lean wisely into changes
- Let waters bless your home

LyricsEdit
Rescue MeEdit
- Far from our shores in a becalmed sea
- Lost are we
- Tragedy
- We ration grog
- Until Kynareth sets us free
- No smiles are left as we drift alone
- Far from home
- Into the unknown
- Our navigator's mind has flown
- Cursed by the visions that he's shown
- The skies glow red, there's mold on our bread
- Despair dogs every mind
- We're tangled in fate, is it far too late
- To flee this desperate bind?
- With little left to guide our way
- Far astray
- We all pray
- Hope remains that we'll find our bay
- And be home in time for feast day
- The skies show red, our captain is dead
- Despair locks every mind
- We're lost to fate, it is far too late
- To flee this desperate bind
- Forgive me, Kynareth, hear my plea
- Set me free
- I am all that's left of this journey
- Rescue me
- Rescue me
- Please Kynareth rescue me
Song of VastyrEdit
- We tap our toes along the streets
- And we never think to fear
- A dance is always welcome
- In the city of Vastyr!
- From sparkling docks to Castle Morn
- All good people far and near
- You'll never be without a friend
- In the city of Vastyr!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Galen's shining gem!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Rise above the waves!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Hear its melody!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! City with a song!
- Go have a drink at the Jaded Ornaug
- And your worries disappear
- Druids, and nobles, and peasants are all welcome
- In the city of Vastyr!
- Along the Systres lovely coast
- To our shores we hope you veer
- Smiling and laughing and dancing away the night
- In the city of Vastyr!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Galen's shining gem!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Rise above the waves!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Hear its melody!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! City with a song!
- From sturdy walls and vendor's stalls
- To the ships docked in our pier
- You'll find no better place
- Than the city of Vastyr!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Galen's shining gem!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Rise above the waves!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! Hear its melody!
- Vastyr, Vastyr! City with a song!
Spirit of the VolcanoEdit
- Our mountain's song brings smoke and flame
- The ground gives way and fires consume
- Fear not the heat you can't tame
- Ill omens are not to blame
- Now listen close to her trembling words
- The ground quakes as her song is heard
- Waves crash and boil at her feet
- This mountain won't bend in defeat
- Volcano spirit weaves life, weaves life from her loom
- Where fires burst, flowers now bloom
- Where earth once cracked, the isle grows
- Clear skies cut through thick smoke's plume
- At dawn's break we sing her praise
- And new life grows from molten bed
- As birds emerge from the haze
- Her spirit will last beyond our days
- Volcano spirit weaves life, weaves life from her loom
- Where fires burst, flowers now bloom
- Where earth once cracked, the isle grows
- Clear skies cut through thick smoke's plume
The Storm and the SunflowerEdit
- Do you hear the waves, my sunflower?
- The seas brought us together, and now they'll tear us apart.
- Soon I'll breathe my last, my sunflower,
- And die with a scar upon my heart,
- Content we dared to dream we might end this war that we didn't start.
- Bend your tired head, my sunflower
- And kiss me with your soft petals, those soft lips pressed to mine.
- Pull me closer still, my sunflower,
- The love we dared to share, it was not a crime.
- We'd have known Mara's grace if we'd had more time, had a world of time.
- And when you taste the sting of raindrops, each one my kiss
- And when you feel wind on your face, it's my gentle hands' caress
- And when you hear the distant thunder, I call your name
- Who knew when lightning met sunflower, we would set the field aflame?
- Will you remember me, my sunflower,
- And all the dreams we had of being wed, wild, and free?
- Or will you follow me, my sunflower,
- Remembering all we'd forfeit so we could be?
- Don't gasp and pray for rain when you could drink deeply of the sea.
Vastyr Fisherfolk SongEdit
- Heave ho, heave ho
- Til we see the shore,
- From night to morn
- With our nets all worn.
- Once we spot our prey
- It won't last the day,
- It can't escape our sight
- And soon we'll get a bite.
- Then the contest begins
- Our vessel rocks and spins,
- With hook and net and spear
- We reel our quarry near.
- Heave ho, heave ho
- Til we see the shore,
- From night to morn
- We fish and blare our horn.
- At the dock we love the stares
- As the crowd admires our wares,
- A catch so big
- They'll dance a jig.
- Then we finish the day
- And we dance and play,
- With mead so sweet
- As we put up our feet.
- Heave ho, heave ho
- Til we set out once more,
- We live as we please
- And we hit the high seas.
- Setting sail with a song and a joke
- That's the life of a Vastyr fisherfolk!

LyricsEdit
House Telvanni SongEdit
- How do we rise in House Telvanni
- Clawing and biting our way to the top?
- How to succeed in House Telvanni
- At the precipice with a knife to our backs?
- We start at the bottom as a hireling, a liar-thing
- Ascend to retainer and then oathman
- Some of us will pause once we have reached raw lawman
- Because ascending the heights is tiring
- How do we rise in House Telvanni
- Clawing and biting our way to the top?
- How to succeed in House Telvanni
- When betrayal and deceit are the way?
- The next step up and now we have become a mouth
- Representing a master or a magister
- Above that rank is spellwright and wizard
- Climbing higher and higher as our towers grow
- Someday we'll be masters, leading from above
- Perhaps magister influence growing
- Then, dare we hope, dare we plan, dare we dream?
- Archmagister, ruling all that can be seen
- How do we rise in House Telvanni
- Clawing and biting our way to the top?
- How to succeed in House Telvanni
- When trust is rare and treachery comes so cheap?
Song of FateEdit
- Oh fathomless Prince of the dark brewing tide
- Who peers through the ink between pages and hide
- Come visit our children, they don't wish to wait
- Oh great Hermaeus, master of knowledge and fate
- Little Dronos wants to circumvent time
- And putting off sleep is a victimless crime
- He could stay up late eating kwama egg quiche
- Or training his daedrat to walk on a leash
- Even dull Modryn has a wish for the Prince
- Power to deceive, and impress, and convince
- With speechcraft like this, he'd go to his mother
- And say that the sweetroll thief was his brother
- Nilera wishes to learn levitation
- Then she could follow cliff racer migration
- And even soar high o'er the Bitter Coast
- And spit on the heads of the children she hates the most
- And then there's Vulyne whose father died
- Who dares bring him back from the other side
- For a parent returned and skin well-preserved
- They offer our Prince an eternity served
- Sweet Vulyne knows the price you must pay
- Contracts are binding, if also cliché
- The One Who Knows takes much more than he gives
- Insatiable hunger outlasts and outlives
The Spotted TowersEdit
- When I look upon this savage land
- and marvel at its mountains high,
- I give thanks that among the ashy sand
- grow the mushrooms on which we all rely
- Mushroom towers, strong and tall
- Protect our lords who love us all
- Spotted guardian, fungal friend
- Please always stand beside us in the end
- Long ago our forebears wandered far
- cast out by kin and forced to roam
- Guided by their heart and star
- Found the tall mushrooms we call home
- Mushroom towers, strong and tall
- Protect our lords who love us all
- Spotted guardian, fungal friend
- Please always stand beside us in the end
- No wind nor beast could knock them down
- Those gorgeous towers that fill our skies
- Our mushroom havens safe and round
- Could never fail us in my eyes
- Mushroom towers, strong and tall
- Protect our lords who love us all
- Spotted guardian, fungal friend
- Please always stand beside us in the end
The Waiting DoorEdit
- Saint Veloth's Great Despair begins a story new
- Tribunal birthing pains, Azura's grace eschewed
- Ancestors wake from dreaming, kin worship their seeming
- The Nerevar led Chimer 'til the fall
- Despite Azura's curse, the Dunmer carried on
- Ancestors summoned forth through noon and dusk and dawn
- New priests brought forth new thought, the Waiting Door was sought
- Built cities of the dead in Necrom's walls
- Life's end sets your spirit free with nary an exception
- So honor your forebears with every breath
- You should ask no boons unless ill-pressed, lest Mortal Chill should come
- And seek Necrom to commune with death
- You will die one day
- You'll be revered one day
- Will you seek the Waiting Door?
- Throughout Necrom's dark halls, the priests' footsteps are heard
- They welcome visitors to their ancestors' home
- To wander catacombs, don't fear—you're not alone
- Your ancestors and priests will remind you ….
- Life's end sets your spirit free with nary an exception
- So honor your forebears with every breath
- You should ask no boons unless ill-pressed, lest Mortal Chill should come
- And seek Necrom to commune with death

- You'll be revered one day
- Will you seek the Waiting Door?

Green Pact SongEdit
- Deep in our roots, in times long ago
- Y'ffre looked down on the Wood Elves below
- A pact was made in the forests of green
- Y'ffre offered a life so serene
- "Protect the Green," Y'ffre said with a flourish
- So all of the flowers and trees we did nourish
- "And it will become your true home in turn"
- So farming and sowing and reaping were spurned
- Here in the Green, all plants survive
- Leaves, and petals, and new buds can thrive
- We hunt for our food, with arrows aimed true
- And when we need rest, Y'ffre makes do
- No chopping, or carving, or cutting of wood
- The Green grows our homes, sturdy and good
- We have no need to take from the trees
- The Green Pact will see to our needs
- When in the forest, take care if you please
- Y'ffre has friends all through the trees
- Wood Elves like us have nothing to fear
- Thanks to the Green Pact we hold dear
Jagga Drinking SongEdit
- One thing a Wood Elf would never pass up
- A fresh pint of jagga poured straight in their cup.
- Sweeter than bloodfroth and smoother than honey
- A full mug of jagga makes everything sunny.
- And what makes this drink so wanted by all?
- The stench of pig's milk, right from the stall.
- Boil it and keep the cats away from the pan
- Wait till the curds form and share with the clan.
- Wood Elves and jagga go well from the start
- The creamy sweet brew is good for the heart.
- You-know-what whiskey does not compare
- To the ripe taste of jagga, or so we declare!
- Forget about wine and beer from hops
- The Green Pact gives plenty of drops.
- Of ale made from mold and Arenthian brandy
- Compared to them all, jagga's just dandy.
- One thing a Wood Elf would never pass up
- A fresh pint of jagga poured straight in their cup.
- Sweeter than bloodfroth and smoother than honey
- A full mug of jagga makes everything sunny!
Rite of Theft SongEdit
- First I stole your dagger,
- Then you stole it back.
- Now I want your short bow,
- Along with your pack!
- Do kindly hand it over,
- You needn't make a fuss.
- It comes around it goes around
- Between the two of us!
- That's the Rite of Theft,
- A Bosmer's sacred dance.
- A back-and-forth of sneak and swipe,
- Quite the romance!
- First you steal from me,
- And then I steal from you.
- But when we steal from them,
- A heaping boon is due!
- You took my purse of gold,
- I would have shared it freely.
- But what's that I see in there?
- Oh look, I spy a stealie!
- That's the Rite of Theft,
- A Bosmer's sacred dance.
- A back-and-forth of slip and snatch,
- Quite the romance!
Things Lost, Things ForgottenEdit
- Things lost, things forgotten,
- Things that may never have been,
- Memories, fleeting and fragile,
- Impressions of things half seen.
- A scent sparks recollection,
- A song can bring a tear,
- A face seems so familiar,
- A memory so clear.
- Things lost, things forgotten,
- Things that may never have been,
- Memories, fleeting and fragile,
- Impressions of things half seen.
- But time scatters things like windswept leaves,
- What's remembered fades like a dream.
- History a mystery, truths and lies,
- What you remember well may be different from I,
- Such is the nature of things inside your mind.
- Things lost, things forgotten
- Things lost, things forgotten
Skingrad Widow's LamentEdit
- Lost, my love, you are to me.
- No more toasts beneath the tree.
- You walk Aetherius these days
- While I find my way.
- Sing, my love, so far from me.
- Let us share sweet harmonies.
- Mind not the distance between our planes
- May music ease my pain.
- Arkay knows my love for you
- Is balanced by a grief so true.
- May time soften my despair
- Leaving me naught but care.
- Each night I dream that you are here,
- Sharing laughs and kissing tears.
- The cruelest cut is when I wake,
- Your absence fills my heart with ache.
- Arkay knows my love for you
- Is balanced by a grief so true.
- May time soften my despair
- Leaving me naught but care.
