Throat of the World Lyrics


Ah!

Throat of the World

Where the Nords were first

Breathed unto Nirn

With the voice of Kyne

Ancient mountain

Revered and mighty

Highest peak in Tamriel

After Red Mountain fell

Tower of snow

Metaphysical concept

Now lies sundered

Kingless and bleeding

Where the ancient Nords stood proud

Against the World Eater, Alduin

And used the Elder Scroll

To send him forward in time

A great and mystic hollow

Where the Greybeards still reside

Monastery of grim cold

Beneath the dragon Paarthurnax's sight

Unmelting snow coats the peak

Where the planar barriers weaken

So much untold history

Is locked away in brumal ice

Where the Last Dragonborn comes

To fulfill the prophecy

And defeat the World Eater

At the hands of time magick might

Ancient mountain

Revered and mighty

Highest peak in Tamriel

After Red Mountain fell

Tower of snow

Metaphysical concept

Now lies sundered

Kingless and bleeding

Ancient mountain

Revered and mighty

Highest peak in Tamriel

After Red Mountain fell

Tower of snow

Metaphysical concept

Now lies sundered

Kingless and bleeding

After all is said and done

The tower has been deactivated

Now Skyrim stands on the brink

Of Old Ehlnofey domination

Throat of the World

Summit in the north

Surrounded by snow and death

Encased in grim ice
