Oblivion Parody Lyrics
A dagger from the back of a wall took Uriel Septim’s blood
A finger struck the blade to his heart
A handle hid out in the dark
A hand made the mark
Mythic Dawn take the claim
For Dagon, they came
But they can’t be blamed
It’s only the dawn in this game
A Elder Council member,unaware that it began
“You are lieing, they aint in our domain.
You’re better get out, before I bludgeon your chin,” he explains.
And the messengers’ name
Is used, in this game
For the Daedric Princes’ gain
As he curses his name
Yet the legion, they’re shamed –
They will fight them in vain
– But they can’t be blamed
It’s only the dawn in this game
The deputy captains, the soldiers, the Counts all get paid
And the Guards and Thieves get the same
But the poor pauper’s used in the hands of them all like a tool
They’re taught in the school
Of how to obey the laws and the rules
That they should not go sin
To protect them or their kin
To hasten their fate
So they don’t take from crates
Or the chests or the bin
But they can’t be blamed
It’s only the dawn in this game
From the waterfront shacks, you looks in the crack to the axe
As the Guards pound on your door
And you’re taught how to walk in a pack
Shoot in the back
Missing a scamp by an inch
You learn not to flinch
To sneak in the wood
To sprint in the rain
Like a horse on a lane
Who ain’t got no name
But he can’t be blamed
It’s only the dawn in this game
Today, Uriel Septim was buried from the dagger he caught
They lowered him down, he – our king
But when the shadowy sun rises on the one
The had had his ‘fun’
He’ll see by his grave
On stone with moss veins
Carved next to his name
His legacy remains:
It’s only the dawn in this game
