Dagon's Lament

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:48 pm

So She woke up from where She was lying still.
Said I got to do something about where we're going.
Hide a bit of the world in a deal with the Greedy Man.
Maybe leap from the ending of the grey.
Singing aldudagga today, aldudagga today, aldudagga today.

Sweet the sin, but bitter the taste in my mouth.
I see seven towers, but I only see one way out.
You got to cry without weeping, talk without speaking, scream without raising your voice.
You know I took the poison from the poison stream, then I floated out of here.
Singing aldudagga today, aldudagga today, aldudagga today.

He waves through the clouds, his hands dirty with mud, under Red Mountain he dives to remain.
In through a gate Mankar brings me White Gold's own stone stolen from Septim.
She is raging, She is raging, and the fire breathes out of Her mouth.
I still suffer the dragon's will: I am leaping to stand still.

World Eater woke up
from where he was lying still
Said I got to do something about where we're going
Hide a bit of the world
A deal with the Greedy Man
Maybe leap from the ending of kalpas
Singing aldudagga today
aldudagga today, aldudagga today

Who is the greedy man?

See http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/aldudagga.shtml.

The Greedy Man would appear to be Lorkhan.

Ah, and I should say that I like this song/poem. Very nice, even if it is cribbing Bono. Though I must concede that I am not so much a U2 fan that I can recognize what song you are cribbing from.

Oh, thanks. Atleast that makes more sense now.

yeah, seriously. What song was this originally? We can't hear the music, dude. You could've pawned the rhyme scheme off as your own. Anyway, I likes it. :D

All right, I think I'm done messing with it, unless it's horribly lore-breaking to posit Aka as female. Thanks much for your kind compliments.

I like this song from U2 also, after hearing it in the first "Witchblade" movie. You can apply it to Dibella or other TES goddesses:


Johnny take a walk
With your sister the moon
Let her pale light in
To fill up your room
You've been living underground
Eating from a can
You've been running away
From what you don't understand
Love

She's slippy
Your're sliding down
She'll be there
When you hit the ground

It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways

Johnny take a dive
With your sister in the rain
Let her talk about the things
You can't explain
To touch is to heal
To hurt is to steal
If you want to kiss the sky
Better learn how to kneel (on your knees boy!)

She's the wave
She turns the tide
She sees the man inside the child

It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
Lift my days...light up my nights

One day you'll look back
And you'll see
Where
You were held how
By this love
While
You could stand
There
And not move on this moment
Follow this feeling

It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
She moves in mysterious ways
It's alright...it's alright...it's alright
We move through miracle days
Spirit moves in mysterious ways
She moves with it
She moves with it
Lift my days and light up my nights
Love
