You should have acted. They're already here. The Elder Scrolls told of their return. Their defeat was merely a delay 'Til the time after Oblivion opened, When the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But no one wanted to believe, Believe they even existed. And when the truth finally dawns, It dawns in fire. But there's one they fear; In their tongue, he's Dovahkiin -- Dragonborn!
The \"true\" lyrics, from GI back cover: Dovahkiin Dovahkiin Naal ok zin los vahriin Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal Ahrk fin norok paal graan Fod nust hon zindro zaan Dovahkiin Fah hin kogaan mu draal
Translation: Dragonborn Dragonborn By his honor is sworn To keep evil forever at bay And the fiercest foes rout When they hear triumph's shout Dragonborn for your blessing we pray
And the misheard (but equally awesome) lyrics: For the king! For the king! For the sake of Skyrim! For our life, For our home, For Hrothgar's blood, For the Nords, And for the Gods, For the sole single son, Dovahkiin, our king, Who will dawn with fire!
