[Intro – Atmospheric Instrumental]
(Haunting, delay-heavy guitar)
(whispers in reverse echo):
“Dovahkiin… Dovahkiin…”
[Verse 1 – Clean & Melodic]
Frozen breath upon the stone,
High Hrothgar whispers echo home.
Voices old as Nirn’s first flame,
Speak the name the stars can’t tame.
Blades drawn in ancient rites,
From clouded peaks to Bravil’s lights.
Waking dreams in Sovngarde’s skies,
Oblivion calls with ten thousand eyes.
[Chorus – Harsh & Driving]
Dragonfire in the soul,
Oblivion’s gate takes its toll.
Daedra laugh beneath the skin,
We break the wheel to rise again.
[Verse 2 – Polyrhythmic Shift, Heavier Guitars]
Septim blood, a final spark,
Lost in realms so deep and dark.
Mehrunes dances in the flame,
Molag Bal forgets your name.
The Scrolls are blind, they twist and scream,
Prophets lost in Aether’s dream.
A Dragonborn with bleeding shouts,
Shakes the world, turns inside out.
[Instrumental Bridge – Interdimensional Travel]
(Guitar lead mimics tonal scales from Nordic and Merish musical motifs.Clean tapping gives way to thunderous triplet chugs.)
(Background voice )(distorted):
“The wheel shall turn, the tower fall, the chim returns to none at all…”
[Verse 3 – Growl to Clean Transition]
Tiber walked as flesh and myth,
Towers crumble from his gift.
But time’s a wound, and it won’t heal,
Talos weeps beneath the steel.
Velothi ghosts and Dwemer schemes,
Buried deep in clockwork dreams.
Red Mountain sleeps with burning breath,
Vivec sings of love and death.
[NEW SECTION – Extended Breakdown: The Shivering Realms]
(Slow, sludgy, bending riffs with playful odd-time percussion)
(Spoken word — unsettling tone, like Sheogorath himself):
“In madness there is freedom true… cheese for everyone, and for no one too.”
(Growled chant)
Claws of chaos scrape the veil,
Butterflies with teeth and tails.
Sheogorath smiles, the sky turns green,
This is the place where minds unweave.
[Return to Chorus – All Vocals Layered]
Dragonfire in the soul,
Skyforge burns, the bell drums roll.
History in shifting stone,
We fight, we fall, we rise alone.
[Outro – Atmospheric Fade, Clean Guitar + Vocals]
“Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin… nu zahrahniin lost…”
“Tamriel, hold your breath, the end begins…”
(Final chord swells and dissolves into ambient wind and a distant dragon roar.)
