Am G Dm Am
alduin’s wings , they did darken the sky .
Am G Dm Am
his roar fury’s fire , and his scales sharpened scythes .
Am G Dm Am
men ran and they cowered , and they fought and they died .
C Dm Am G
they burned and they bled as they issued their cries .

Am G Dm Am
we need saviors to free us from alduin’s rage .
Am G Dm Am
heroes on the field of this new war to wage .
Am G Dm Am
and if alduin wins , man is gone from this world .
C Dm Am G
lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled .

C G F
but then came the tongues on that terrible day .
C G F Am
steadfast as winter , they entered the fray .
C G F Am
and all heard the music of alduin’s doom .
C Dm G D
the sweet song of skyrim , sky – shattering thu’um .

F G Am
and so the tongues freed us from alduin’s rage .
F G Am C
gave the gift of the voice , ushered in a new age .
F G Am D
if alduin is eternal , then eternity’s done .
F Am G Am
for his story is over and the dragons are gone .
