[Intro lute starts, flute joins in with tavern background sounds] [Verse] You hand me your swords Your shields Your gold I’m your pack mule Your dungeon hold While you chase butterflies Oh so bold I’m knee-deep in dragon flames Growing old [Prechorus] I am sworn to carry your burdens But this oath has started hurtin' [Chorus] Lydia’s lament Hear me roar Carrying your junk Fighting your war While you pick flowers I’m a dragon’s meal How’s that fair Tell me What’s the deal? [Verse 2] You’re the Dragonborn Oh mighty So grand Yet I’m the one with the sword in my hand You’re chasing bees I’m making a stand Fighting giants in this curs-ed land [Pre-chorus 2] I see you there crafting potions of stealth While I defend your precious health [Chorus] Lydia’s lament Hear me roar Carrying your junk Fighting your war While you pick flowers I’m a dragon’s meal How’s that fair Tell me What’s the deal? [Verse 3] I'm sworn to carry your burdens they said But this feels like dragging the whole world instead Your pockets are stuffed yet you pick up more While I guard your back from the dragon's roar [Bridge] Take your sweet rolls Your rusty boots Your bear pelts Your stolen loot I’ll drop them all in Whiterun square Let’s see how you’ll fare When I’m not there [Chorus] Lydia’s lament Hear me roar Carrying your junk Fighting your war While you pick flowers I’m a dragon’s meal How’s that fair Tell me What’s the deal? [Lute Solo] [Verse 4] You hoard every spoon every rusty blade I’m knee-deep in cheese wheels I'm your mess parade You loot every urn while I take the hit Do you think about me or just what'll fit [Pre-chorus 3] They all see the Dragonborn, but they don't see me I just wish you'd take an arrow to the knee [Chorus] Lydia’s lament Hear me roar Carrying your junk Fighting your war While you pick flowers I’m a dragon’s meal How’s that fair Tell me What’s the deal? [Chorus] Lydia’s lament Hear me roar Carrying your junk Fighting your war While you pick flowers I’m a dragon’s meal How’s that fair Tell me What’s the deal? [Outro] They all see the Dragonborn, but they don't see me I just wish you'd take an arrow to the knee (to the knee!)
