Track 3 - The First to Dream – The Elder Scrolls Musical (Act I)
[Intro – Ambient chimes, soft strings, distant wind FX] [Female Vocals – whispering, dreamlike, soprano with breathy phrasing] I woke beneath a sky with no name No sun had yet chosen to rise No wind, no flame Only silence... and the weight of time [Strings swell gently, harp enters] I felt the grass, it knew no fear I touched the stone, it whispered clear: "You are the first, but not alone" A thought became my flesh and bone [Verse 1 – Male Vocals – warm tenor, theatrical delivery] We came from dust, from starlight torn From gods who broke so we’d be born They sang us into waking light Then left us… dancing through the night [Female Vocals – softer, distant harmony] But what is light when time is new? When breath is strange and thought is true? We dreamed with open eyes and hands The earth was ours — no gods, no plans [Chorus – Duet Vocals: male and female vocals blend, cinematic orchestration swells] We were the first to feel the flame The first to speak, to weep, to name To shape the stone, to sow the seed To learn that love and loss both bleed We dreamed, we danced, we did not know That gods had died to let us grow [Instrumental Interlude – Harp and synths with echo FX, heartbeat drum slowly builds] .... ..... ..... [Rap Verse 1 – Valen Black – steady emotional flow, theatrical tone] Born from silence, no script, no crown Stepped on soil that never knew sound Spoke to trees like they were kin Asked the sky, “Where do I begin?” Old Ehlnofey stayed still, like lore Held to the stars, worshipped before But I wandered, broke the line Time cracked open — and it was mine [Bridge – Female Vocals – rising melody with emotional vibrato] I touched the water, saw my face Reflected back with mortal grace I bled, I healed, I hurt, I changed And knew the world would do the same [Male Vocals – lower tone, foreshadowing darkness] Some chose to bind, to hold, to keep Some chose to roam, to fall, to leap Thus we became: the still and wild The boundless flame, the broken child [Chorus – All voices in harmony, orchestral crescendo] We were the first to dream of pain The first to lose, to hope, to reign We split like rivers through the land With open hearts and empty hands We dreamed, we built, we did not know That change would always start below [Solo – Ethereal flute melody, followed by soft guitar picking and distant vocals humming] [Rap Verse 2 – Valen Black – faster, more intense, building emotion] Memory fades but truth remains Every mortal bears the chains Of choices made when stars were young When no one knew what we’d become Elves remembered, men forgot Lines were drawn and war was taught But back before the blade and pride We were just dreamers… on the tide [Final Chorus – Full Vocal ensemble, swelling to climax, orchestral power] We were the first to find the flame To give it shape, to give it name To learn that love must end in loss To mark the dirt with sacred cross We dreamed, we died, we rose again And birthed the world… of gods and men [Outro – Choir FX, ambient tones fade with harp and heartbeat drum] [Male Narrator – spoken Vocals, reverent tone] Before the towers, before the kings... There was only the dream And the dreamer.
