fus ro dah
by Cody Tweedt
Lyrics
Intro
Ash falls over shattered stone
A black wing circles, claiming throne
She lifts her blade through fire and snow
One final name the damned shall know
Verse 1
From the mountain’s broken crown
The World Eater tears the heavens down
But a woman stands where the brave have fled
With ancient thunder in her chest instead
Scale and flame, let the sky divide
She marks the beast for his final flight
Every shield raised, every banner torn
She walks through ruin and will not mourn
Pre-Chorus
The dead behind her, the storm ahead
She speaks the words the sages dread
Chorus
Fus Ro Dah — shake the frozen ground
Fus Ro Dah — let the lost hear sound
Alduin falls from the burning height
The Dragonborn ends the endless night
Fus Ro Dah — let every hold proclaim
The World Eater is only ash and flame
From Whiterun to the northern sea
Skyrim lives, and the skies are free
Verse 2
His jaws descend like a closing gate
She meets his wrath and spits at fate
With every strike the old scars split
The ancient tyrant cannot weather it
The mountain screams, the valleys ring
No crown survives the death of a king
She drives her shout through bone and scale
And turns his empire into a tale
Pre-Chorus
The clouds collapse, the stars burn red
She tears the terror from the dead
Chorus
Fus Ro Dah — shake the frozen ground
Fus Ro Dah — let the lost hear sound
Alduin falls from the burning height
The Dragonborn ends the endless night
Fus Ro Dah — let every hold proclaim
The World Eater is only ash and flame
From Whiterun to the northern sea
Skyrim lives, and the skies are free
Bridge
No god above her, no chain below
No prophecy can cage her soul
She is the voice beneath the stone
The last bright fire the north has known
Breakdown
Raise the horns
Beat the shields
Crush the dark
Make him yield
Fus!
Ro!
Dah!
Final Chorus
Fus Ro Dah — hear the mountains cry
Fus Ro Dah — watch the black wings die
Alduin breaks beneath her hand
His ashes scatter across the land
Fus Ro Dah — let all of Skyrim know
The World Eater is no more
From the Reach to the eastern sea
The Dragonborn has set them free
Outro
Ash settles where the tyrant soared
Her shout rolls on from fjord to fjord
The fires fade, the banners rise
A new dawn opens in the northern skies
