[Verse 1] From Summerset’s shores, he came with a gleam, An Altmer of power, ambition, and scheme. Eyes like the void, cold and austere, In Winterhold’s halls, his whispers draw near. [Chorus] Oh, Ancano, seeker of might, Dancing with shadows, embracing the night. The Eye of Magnus, its secrets you crave, Wielding its power, the world you’d enslave. [Verse 2] Beneath the College, your hunger grew vast, A traitor to trust, your loyalty cast. An envoy of Thalmor, a servant in name, But in your own heart, burned a far greater flame. [Bridge] Through veils of magic, the Eye calls to you, Its whispers are ancient, its wisdom untrue. But hubris consumes, like frost in the cold, And power untempered leaves none to behold. [Chorus] Oh, Ancano, seeker of might, Dancing with shadows, embracing the night. The Eye of Magnus, its secrets you crave, Wielding its power, the world you’d enslave. [Verse 3] Your schemes were undone, your power unchained, But in the chaos, no victory gained. The Arch-Mage arose, defying your hand, And broke the dominion you sought in this land. [Outro] Now echoes remain of your vainglorious quest, A tale of ambition that brought no rest. Oh, Ancano, your legacy’s clear, A warning to those who let power steer. [Final Chorus] Oh, Ancano, seeker of might, Dancing with shadows, embracing the night. The Eye of Magnus, its secrets you crave, But all that you sought led you straight to your grave.
