Black Soul Gem
04:02
|
|||
Crystalline geode
Sparkling beautifully
What a terrible portent
That you open for me
A blighted realm beyond
For the unlucky soul
Trapped within this bauble
And spent like coin for power
Black soul gem
Filled with the vanquished
Black soul gem
To be utilized
Black soul gem
Resource for enchantment
Black soul gem
A pawn upon the altar
Blood was spilled
To fulfill this purpose
Of powering a weapon
Used to slaughter those
Who stand before me
Who I name as my foes
And sunder their frail vessels
While my power grows
Black soul gem
Sustaining cursed existence
Black soul gem
Enslaved to Ideal Masters
Black soul gem
A morally grey action
Black soul gem
Sent to the Soul Cairn
Cast off your corpse
Enter the gem
Become a source
Oh

Clockwork City
05:39
|
|||
Far beneath the depths of Nirn
Where mechanical might breeds
From the mind of Sotha Sil
A city of metal
Ugh
Clockwork City
Pinnacle of Dunmer science
Clockwork City
Example of Aedric defiance
Clockwork City
Where constructs are created
Clockwork City
Where reality is debated
Inspired by the Dwemer
Deep Dweller-style technology
In a palace of gears and rotation
The greatest mind does dwell
Ugh
Clockwork City
Pinnacle of Dunmer science
Clockwork City
Example of Aedric defiance
Clockwork City
Where constructs are created
Clockwork City
Where reality is debated
Deep down below
Where the cogs shift and turn
Creating perfect replica
Of imperfect Nirn
Experiment on the Mundus
Led by a living god
Seeking grim transcendence
Of what seems strange and odd
No matter the fate
Of the Tribunal
Here he shall dwell
Awaiting future's funeral
No matter the fate
Of the Tribunal
Here he shall dwell
Awaiting future's funeral
Remembered as a falsehood
Here he lives forever
As a monument to pride
Drifting into never
Oh

Cult of Azura
06:27
|

Queen of Dawn and Dusk
Lady of the Night
Azura of the Crimson Gate
Mother Soul and Goddess of Twilight
She is our patron deity
The Daedric Prince of our piety
We are her chosen, Dunmer of Morrowind
And we will follow her until this kalpa's end
Though there was a time when we turned our backs
And betrayed the Cosmic Severer in favour of three hacks
She turned our golden hides a shade of deeper blue
A lesson not forgotten in any era soon
With the Tribunal gone we engaged in Reclamation
The Three Good Daedra returned to rightful station
And I will follow her until the end of time
As faithful now until the day that I die
Azura is my matron and I her willing patron
The Twilight speaks through me unto the Dunmer matron
She guides me through the darkness and unto sweeter roses
And will pleasure all heretics she disposes
Dearest Azura, lady of the night
Queen of Roses, of the Dusk and Dawn
Lord of the Daedric realms of Oblivion
I beseech thee
Will you please give me the strength to go and face my foes
And slay all those who oppose thee
I am your willing servant
Your humble slave
I will do thy bidding for you are my Mother Goddess

Foul Murder
05:27
|
|||
Upon that cursed hill
Volcanic, spewing ash
Where House Dagoth arose
To usurp the nation
I drew a mighty blade
And struck down my oldest friend
Lord Nerevar deceased
By my hand he met his end
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
For an age I kept this secret
Hidden in the gospel
Within the Lessons of Vivec
Confession of my crime
Slain to retain the Heart
Lorkhan's mighty vessel
The source of all our power
That Indoril would destroy
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder
Foul murder

Kalpa's End
05:54
|
|||
The time is soon at hand
Apocalypse draws near
It's happened all before
It's destiny, have no fear
But the scourge can be avoided
If you learn to walk the path
A sideways way of walking
Across the World Serpent's back
Reality will be reborn
The kalpa will begin anew
And life shall return to normal
Until time once again is due
At the jaws of a World Eater
Or a crisis of invasion
From otherworldly forces
Who want to destroy creation
Akatosh has delayed us
And kept the timeline going
For a reason as yet unknown
As the gods' purpose avoids knowing
We know the time will draw close
And fold in upon itself
But when the Great Dragon dies
There shall be no men or elves
The normal of Nirn will die
And be replaced by something else
We cannot predict
What comes to fill these cells
Perhaps all will be Void
Consumed within by Sithis
Oh, all that we can know
Is that the Dreamsleeve will be with us
Ah

Numidium
04:35
|
|||
Anumidium, Dwemer brass god
Huge golem of conquering size
The Prime Gestalt of foul purpose
Powered by the Heart of Lorkhan
Created by the Tonal Architects
Machine of Kagrenac's design
Blasted metalwork so grim and bold
Meant to defeat the Chimer
And reclaim Resdayn for the Dwarves
But the makers vanished without a trace
And Tiber Septim found the device
And with it conquered all of Tamriel
Numidium
Numidium
Numidium
Numidium
Numidium
Numidium
Numidium
Numidium
Conquering with terror
Dark Dwemer might
Slaying all enemies
Instilling fright
Vanquish thy challenger
With this great beast
Of brass and bulkheads
On nations it feasts
Submit to the will
Of the new Emperor
Dynasty established
With an Aedric heart-core
Gaze upon the Heart
And recognize what you see
The Septim superweapon
And Tamriel's destiny
Oh

Song of the Return
08:23
|
|||
The elves took our land and slew my kin
There in the olden realm of Skyrim
I was there when they slew my sons
Destroyed Saarthal and sent me on the run
With tears in my eyes I fled to the sea
Back to Atmora with a desperate plea
To unite my clans underneath my axe
And pillage forth to take our lands back
We 500 are on the Return
To reclaim what the elves had purged
We Companions of Ysgramor
Return to Tamriel with a heart for war
We 500 are on the Return
To reclaim what the elves had purged
We Companions of Ysgramor
Return to Tamriel with a heart for war
Bleeding out on the snow we waged a great war
Onto Hsaarik Head we land with sword and oar
To lay death upon the Falmer vile and white
And enact vengeance for the tearful night
We ran them underground where the Dwemer dwell
And so the kingdom of the Snow Elves fell
With their Snow Prince dead by Nordic hands
Wuuthrad shines mighty in the sun upon these wild lands
We 500 are on the Return
To reclaim what the elves had purged
We Companions of Ysgramor
Return to Tamriel with a heart for war
We 500 are on the Return
To reclaim what the elves had purged
We Companions of Ysgramor
Return to Tamriel with a heart for war
We 500 are on the Return
To reclaim what the elves had purged
We Companions of Ysgramor
Return to Tamriel with a heart for war
Victory is in our grasp
For the Atmoran people deserve this land
Victory has been well earned
500 men and women, for Sovngarde they yearned
Fight for your home
Fight for your shores
Fight with all your might
Fight for your fucking life

The Refugees
07:14
|
|||
In the wake of volcanic eruption
We had to make a quick escape
Traverse north through the Velothi Mountains
Avoiding shifting tectonic plates
Through dark trials and tribulations
We left our home and arrived in foreign lands
Treated like some foul scum
At the behest of Nordic hands
We are the refugees
We are the refugees
Now we make our home here
In this hostile wintry environ
Unwanted by the native folk
They hate our guts
Settling into the stone-walled cities
Windhelm to be where our people now reside
Cordoned off from the rest of the world
The Grey Quarter is where we live and die
Blood spilled in the middle of the night
Assassination and murder
Assailed by the fists of unruly men
Of pathetic drunks and aurochs herders
Fallen from such lofty heights
We the Dunmer reduced to be crass
How we long for the ways of our home
Morrowind, reduced to ash
We are the refugees
We are the refugees
We are the refugees
We are...
We will not go quiet
Nor silently into the night
The Great Houses shall recover
And reclaim our ancient rights
Those who mistreated
Our people as we asked for aid
Shall be the first to have
Their throats cut by a Morag Tong blade

Throat of the World
06:35
|

Ah!
Throat of the World
Where the Nords were first
Breathed unto Nirn
With the voice of Kyne
Ancient mountain
Revered and mighty
Highest peak in Tamriel
After Red Mountain fell
Tower of snow
Metaphysical concept
Now lies sundered
Kingless and bleeding
Where the ancient Nords stood proud
Against the World Eater, Alduin
And used the Elder Scroll
To send him forward in time
A great and mystic hollow
Where the Greybeards still reside
Monastery of grim cold
Beneath the dragon Paarthurnax's sight
Unmelting snow coats the peak
Where the planar barriers weaken
So much untold history
Is locked away in brumal ice
Where the Last Dragonborn comes
To fulfill the prophecy
And defeat the World Eater
At the hands of time magick might
Ancient mountain
Revered and mighty
Highest peak in Tamriel
After Red Mountain fell
Tower of snow
Metaphysical concept
Now lies sundered
Kingless and bleeding
Ancient mountain
Revered and mighty
Highest peak in Tamriel
After Red Mountain fell
Tower of snow
Metaphysical concept
Now lies sundered
Kingless and bleeding
After all is said and done
The tower has been deactivated
Now Skyrim stands on the brink
Of Old Ehlnofey domination
Throat of the World
Summit in the north
Surrounded by snow and death
Encased in grim ice

Our lady Mephala of the night
One of the Three Good Daedra
Our mother of deeds and plots
She spins the web that connects us all
Through vile worship in temple halls
Imparting a weapon of betrayal and strife
That grows in power when one takes a life
Dark mother
Spider god
Of Dunmer
Dark mother
Spider god
Of Dunmer
Anticipation of Almalexia
She weaves the connections
Inspiring blades of murder
A sacrifice unto her name
Now that the Tribunal has been disposed
We have restored her worship
Give praise to the arachnoid goddess
For she sticks us to the plane of Nirn
Ugh
Blegh, blegh
Dark mother
Spider god
Of Dunmer
Dark mother
Spider god
Of Dunmer
Bow your head and give praise to our lady Mephala of the night
Dark queen, mother, goddess of sex, plots, and ritual murder
Bow down before her and sacrifice your soul
