"Timmund and the Sacred Blade" - Lyrics

Ellomin’s council, pulled Timmund to the side

And they all took off their hoods, which they never do

And looked him in the eye, with a sympathetic look

And they said

“We know it must seem, that the prophecy

to you, is such a burden.”

But Timmund said

“No. I don’t think so. I just think it’s poorly worded.

Yeah, I’m down to risk my life but I don’t wanna lose it.

That last line of the prophecy, let’s lose it.

I’ll take the Sacred Blade and make Dread Templar fear my name.

But when it’s all through, I’m not dying too.”

Timmund set off to get the blade from prophet’s hand

(alright, where?)

To a one man monastery, through the fields and forest as fast as he can

Thinking to himself, while he rides

“I know they all think, that the prophecy

to me, is such a burden.

But I don’t know.I don’t think so.

I just think it’s poorly worded.

Yeah, I’m gonna risk my life but I’m not gonna lose it.

That last line of the the prophecy’s so stupid.

I’ll take the Sacred Blade and make Dread Templar fear my name.

But when it’s all through, I’m not dying too.”

White stone walls and ivy, perfect statues line the halls.

A courtyard with a fountain, Timmund’s taking in it all

The Prophet rounds a corner, an ageless man

Wearing robe, spun out of gold

With a sword held in his hand

Timmund grabs the hilt and draws the blade and it feels right

Pretty strange feeling your destiny, through object, come to life

Timmund sheaths the blade and starts to leave

But then the Prophet to starts to speak

“I know it must seem, that the prophecy

To you, is poorly worded

But I say no.

And I need you to know, only you can claim the burden.

If you choose to risk your life, I promise that you’ll lose it

that last line of the prophecy comes true when,

you take the Sacred Blade and make Dread Templar fear your name.

But when it’s all through, you’ll be dying too."
