It is said that the mind is very terrible to taste I left this puny point of view behind for I have this question chased Although they shut the wooden door and closed the iron bars I am here as I was before A sun among the stars The benevolent fluttershy has taken my concentration I float freely into the arms of my patron Both mer and men walk even ways From birth to death they pace But long ago I insisted On a diff'rent path so twisted I sing my song in Solitude In a world so cold and brute To the madgod as his servile child The one to keep my soul beguiled White devils boogie on my hair whispering of day and light Their madsongs fill the chilly air opening my fetters wide But they strapped the iron chain and bound me to my bed they framed my aching brain and trapped me in my head The malevolent butterfly has stolen my focus I drift exhausted Into the arms of my patron

a door has appeared in the niben bay, and we decided to march right in, there's nothing to lose but our sanity, so we step through the door in the niben bay Guard: hey there, attention! this might be very dangerous! don't go there, be careful, maybe there are monsters... Adventurer: Tell me, you coward, how would you have become a guard? There's so much to explore right behind this door! Guard: what's that? it opens! a woman, behold her eyes, a sparkle, like lightning, it seems as she is insane! Woman: glitter and rainbows as the struggle between red shoes, some wardrobes become foes, in Sheogoraths realm of chaos Woman: he's calling, with mushrooms, adventurer, go get drunk on sweet fruits and basements, which are like freezing paintings. Adventurer: a mind gone, to nowhere, I want to see what's in there! onwards, to glory! *mad laughter*

Golden Daylight retreats The brood put down their skin Howls greet the nightfall For bloodshed eternal Let the great game begin The full moons arise All feral birds fall quiet As the packs roam the briar With eyes filled with fire As they are running riot They whisper your Name Shake in fear of the great game In the dying light, Anger rises with the night As the visions blur Skin turns to fur, Fullfill the daedric will With a godsent urge to kill They fill the starry night With a wordless cry A thousand pumping lungs A thousand raging songs Ascending to the sky Hircine drives the pack torwards the mortal's homes to slaughter both mer and men and shed their unsoiled blood again And to gnaw on their bones Nerevarine, take this ring And join in the hunt, Take my antler as a crown And become the king... Of this night

The Calling 04:55
I have forged the hammer, As I sharpened the blade, Come gather 'round, children of Dwemereth, For the rise of our own god. We'll travel divine dimensions, As rulers of space and time! Let us drink the nectar of life From the fallen god's heart, We will be Anumidum, Transcend the mortal plane. Sunder, wield now, Keening raise, It's us against Earth Bones! Waiting, always waiting for the dawn to call my name, to find, what I am searching for. Waiting, always waiting for the dawn to take my hand, or the cruel night to, for evermore, bring me home. Nothing was found but Ashes, Down in Bamz-Amschend, But Centurions and Spectres, The Dwemer are gone. And no one will ever know, who took them or did they go? Will they ever come back, or did the follow the final call? Waiting, always waiting for the dawn to call my name, to find, what I am searching for. Waiting, always waiting for the dawn to take my hand, or the cruel night to, for evermore, bring me home.

Dreadful mother, hear my call, I want him, for good, to fall, Grant me bloodshed, mercyless, See my wrath upon this statuette. The Nightshade petals may tickle your skin, My dearest dagger, stab the figurine, The air carries the hissing of the blade, And I whisper: Mother, sweet Mother, Send your child unto me, For the sins of the unworthy Must be baptized in blood and fear I formed a heart and formed a skull, Sculpted flesh, made this doll, Now I plead before your feet, Make this goddamned bastard bleed. I thrust and cut and rip the skin, My dearest Dagger, kill this figurine, My heart beats faster with every stab, And I call:

Find a dragons tongue and the heart of a Lich, And the flesh of a horse to combine it with. Though a dragon might be hard to find, To get up to one, you have to jump quite high. Also, they're invisible, liches unfortunately not, But you can reach an isle with girls, incredibly hot, Blazing in their naked beauty, when the moons are full, Rain is falling, sea is red and it's M'aiq's birthday. You mean to tell me, you've been wandering This world throughout hundreds of years? You must have gone through enough to be the wisest of the liars. M'aiq's father was also called M'aiq. As was M'aiq's father's father. At least, that's what his father said, That's what his father said. People used to throw their weapons, why would you do that? A sword can't shoot fire from it's tip, but You need just one, also it's harder than wood, See, fighting a bear with a straw does no good. Or a werewolf. Or a wereshark; I knew one afraid of the lake, Which was a little odd, even for Mai'q... But he was a well dressed fellow, clothes are great, Mai'q wears clothing too. Everyone is so obsessed with facial hair, It's Khaajit's glorious mane, they want to wear. But what gives Maiq an epic shiver: Of fur are made armour and quiver. On the other hand, they are impressed by shouting, Which is not that hard, so M'aiq is doubting That people are tough enough for Khaajit, nevermind, have some Skooma with M'aiq.

The Heart of Lorkhan is lost, divinity fading, I took leave of the world as it's colourless. Here I am, King of my Mind, My realm holds the shape of life As immortality dies, I will live with the gears of my children. Hidden beneath the walls of Old Ebonheart The Forge of time is devouring the sands of the hourglass, And I will keep wielding the hammer to sculpt the future Even if my leaves are withered. See me hanging, down in Clockwork City, I'm weeping my silent song among the rust, Find me hanging, down in Clockwork City Alone See me hanging, down in Clockwork City, I'm weeping my silent song among the rust, Find me hanging, down in Clockwork City In Clockwork City Sotha Sil, my friend, you've been gone so long, embed in consoles, cables and copper, Does the world need an absent god, do you need it's praise, As immortality died, our divinity died, Fellow god, as you turn to rust, your seeds will grow everlasting love, Arcane fool, still you put your effort into fabricant life Don't you see, there's no more divinity, not in me, or in what you forced to be But mine I will regain, when you finish your last whisper. So the sword runs through my veins, my flesh, my soul, but there's no pain. Not a scream nor a whisper, As my leaves wither.
