Skyrim Theme - Dragonborn (Dovahkiin) Metal Remix.

Skyrim is the fifth installment of the Elder Scrolls video game series. I used to play this game a lot when the PC I use was a newer, so it could easily handle the stress of the game. Now that's not the case anymore but as soon as I become independent I will buy myself a gaming PC and the latest PlayStation. Anyway, Skyrim is an epic fantasy role playing game.

It has got it all, the Nine Divines, the Daedric princes of evil doings (like how Mehrunes Dagon is the Daedric prince of dominance and destruction), the mages, the warriors, etc. everything that would make a fantasy game, epic. I like how in this game, they (Bethesda Softworks) created a Dovahzul, the Dragon Language, spoken by dragons. Really, if you listen to the video I've given, you will find that the singers in there are speaking the Dovahzul.


The game Skyrim focuses on the story of the Last Dragonborn. He is, lorewise, a very powerful being who has the soul of a Dragon and the body of a mortal. His destiny is to defeat (for a time) Alduin, an aspect of the Time God Akatosh. The Last Dragonborn has the power of the Voice, or Thu'um. That means he can shout like a Dragon and the words he speaks in the Dragon Language, they have special significance, like how "Fus Ro Dah" will send the the enemy flying towards great distances. The velocity is inversely proportional to the weight, though. A Dragon will only be staggered.

I just love the game. Wait, not only the game, but the whole series as well. Can't wait till The Elder Scrolls VI comes out. Here are the lyrics of the theme song.

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!

Huzrah nu, kul do od, wah aan bok lingrah vod
Ahrk fin tey, boziik fun, do fin gein!
Wo lost fron wah ney dov
ahrk fin reyliik do jul
voth aan suleyk wah ronit faal krein

Ahrk fin kel lost prodah,
Do ved viing ko fin krah,
Tol fod zeymah win kein meyz fundein!
Alduin, feyn do jun,
kruziik vokun staadnau,
voth aan bahlok wah diivon fin lein!

Nuz aan sul, fent alok,
fod fin vul dovah nok,
fen kos nahlot mahfaeraak ahrk ruz!
Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot!

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!

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (OGST) - Dragonborn (Skyrim Theme) lyrics + English 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!

Hearken now, sons of snow, to an age, long ago
and the tale, boldly told, of the one!
Who was kin to both wyrm
and the races of man
with a power to rival the sun

And the Scrolls have foretold
of black wings in the cold,
that when brothers wage war come unfurled!
Alduin, Bane of Kings,
ancient shadow unbound,
with a hunger to swallow the world!

But a day, shall arise,
when the dark dragon's lies,
will be silenced forever and then!
Fair Skyrim will be free from foul Alduin's maw!

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!
