Hymns of Ember and Ash

Blessings of Akatosh

Cyrodiil is burning

All as was foreplanned

Uriel Septim dead

Whilst Daedra roam the land

Jauffre needs the amulet

Weynon Priory waits

Martin sleeps in Kvatch town

Midst burning Oblivion gates

The amulet is stolen

Assassins are to blame

Infiltrate the Mythic Dawn

More cities now in flames

Cloud Ruler Temple now

Looked upon by spies

A daedric item holds the key

Whilst mages hypnotise

All hail Akatosh!

Alduin of the Nords

Tamriel protected

By the Nine

By the Nine Divines

Septim must have god’s blood

Warden of Sancre Tor

Undead blades and curses

Meld in this bloody war

Fight or flee the evil King

For the stone of Great Welkynd

Ruins buried underground

Far from howling wind

Mankar Camoran’s Paradise

Kept away from frozen

Eldamil the unlocker

Of the Bands of the Chosen

The siege engine is turning

Cannot close the Great Gate

Lest the sigil stone is held

Gainst barriers of hate

Ocato and the guardsmen

Not to be outgunned

Summoning saviour Akatosh

To defeat Mehrunes Dagon

Holmwood

In the wild woods where the shadows creep

Ancient tongues in silence seep

Branches claw at the moonlit sky

Echoes of secrets which never can die

In the wild woods where we belong

Hear our melody a haunting song

As the night fades we fall apart

Forever bound by the forests heart

When Nature calls the wildwoods sing

Ancient roots the old ways bring

Natures Magic, Wild and free

In the groves where the waters spring

Branches sway the night unfolds

Secrets shared, the earth beholds

Whispers rise like ancient fire

When moonlight guides the way

The woods awaken as we embrace the night

Echoes of laughter in the mist

In the shadows of the ancient oak

Whispers rise from the roots of the earth

In the dance of the leaves, we hear their song

Bound by the earth where we belong

Under the moonlight forever we stand

Together in the dark our old Forged Land

Freedom’s breath in twilights glow

Calm surrounds where wild things flow

Solitude a strong embrace

Lost in thought, we’ve found our place

Feel the calm of the wild embrace

In the woods I’ve found my place

Under the stars at the water’s edge

Jasmine blooms a scent divine

The Hollowing

Battered by rain as I head down the path

Sent on a quest that incurs the wind’s wrath

The gale tears right through me and howls in the night

As it whips through the forest that’s cursed by this blight

For the sake of our future I grimly push on

Despair in the air as I grieve what is gone

Yet you walked this same path, centuries past

You saved us then when you fought to the last

As I wearily tread where your footsteps fell

What spurred you along? I could never tell

Yet your iron will calls to me through time

Gives me the strength to seek what is mine

The true sight was knowledge and so it shall be

As I prise away fingers, so now I can see

Our strength lies in unity, care for the land

Your weakness is ignorance, go now, be damned!

We cannot fight what we cannot see

Hollowing spirit, malevolent decree

But I seek the true sight, to give me the will

To banish your evil and crush all your ill

The Tomb of Semiramis

Not from the living

Not from the dead

Not animal but mineral

Eternal dread

Argent in tincture

Or more sublime

Harbour of the principles

Not bound by time

Solar fire

Splendour of sun

Babylon awakened

Derketo of Ascalon

Dissolution

Unification

Precipitation

Calcination

Not from the living

Not from the dead

Not animal but mineral

Eternal dread

Bactrian conqueror

Behustun inscription

Anubanini rock relief

Ishtar enchains

Tincture of the ancients

Great work of thine

Immortal heart of substance

Incorrupt entwined

Menstruum alkahest

Inner spirit sulphorous

Tempered fire of wisdom

Turneth to dust

Nascent wheel inversion

Mouth upon the tail

Lac virginis dissolute

Mercurial oil

Dissolution

Unification

Precipitation

Calcination

Not from the living

Not from the dead

Not animal but mineral

Eternal dread
