[Verse 1] The tundra burns, the mountains cry, Brothers fight as banners fly. Steel meets steel, and blood will stain, The land of Skyrim, in endless pain. From Falkreath’s woods to Winterhold’s frost, A kingdom divided, at terrible cost. The Thu’um still echoes, the dragons rise, Yet men wage war beneath gray skies. [Chorus] Oh, shattered crown, torn by strife, A realm at war, a broken life. For honor, for freedom, for empire's might, Skyrim bleeds beneath the fight. Will peace return, or fires remain, In the land of snow, of blood and pain? [Verse 2] Stormcloaks march with hearts of flame, To free their home, reclaim their name. Yet in their path, the Legion stands, Defending the throne with iron hands. Blades are drawn, oaths are sworn, In the halls of war, new heroes are born. But in the shadows, the cost is clear, A future of sorrow, of hate, and fear. [Chorus] Oh, shattered crown, torn by strife, A realm at war, a broken life. For honor, for freedom, for empire's might, Skyrim bleeds beneath the fight. Will peace return, or fires remain, In the land of snow, of blood and pain? [Bridge] (Chanted, like a Nordic lament) “Talos guide us, the Nine watch close, Through endless war, we raise our toasts. To fallen kin, to battles lost, What is the price of freedom’s cost?” (Sung, with a rising melody) The Empire holds, its banners high, Yet the Stormcloak’s roar splits the sky. Two paths diverge, both paved in stone, But who will claim Skyrim’s throne? [Chorus - Final] Oh, shattered crown, torn by strife, A realm at war, a broken life. For honor, for freedom, for empire's might, Skyrim bleeds beneath the fight. Will peace return, or fires remain, In the land of snow, of blood and pain? [Outro] When swords are sheathed, and war songs cease, Will Skyrim find her path to peace? A fractured home, yet hearts still yearn, For the land of the North, to heal and return.
