The Long Way Home | A Skyrim Song About the Journey

Описание: Every journey starts somewhere.

Inspired by the roads, cities, and quiet moments of Skyrim — from Helgen to the Throat of the World — this song is about the places we pass through, and how they stay with us long after we move on.

It’s not about the destination.
It’s about everything you carry by the time you get there.

Keep watching the sky.

________________________________________________________________

Woke up in chains at Helgen’s gate
Smoke in the sky, world in flames
Ran through the trees to Riverwood
Didn’t know my name

Whiterun walls, open plains
First time feeling free
I thought the road would end somewhere
But it kept finding me

Every step wrote something down
I didn’t know I’d keep

From Helgen to the Throat of the World
I carried more than steel
Every place I passed through
Taught me something real

I walked the roads, I crossed the snow
I lost and found myself
I went everywhere looking for meaning
And left pieces on every shelf

Windhelm nights, Solitude dawns
Two sides calling me
Riften taught me how to lie
Markarth cut me deep

Falkreath graves, Morthal fog
Dawnstar couldn’t sleep
Winterhold fell into the sea
But it still remembered me

Some towns fade
Some stay

From Helgen to the Throat of the World
Through fire, frost, and stone
Every city, every road
Started feeling like home

I chased the end, I chased the fight
I chased who I should be
But every step away from the start
Was a step back into me

High Hrothgar, silent skies
Words that shook my bones
Sovngarde felt close enough
But I wasn’t done at home

I watched Alduin fall from time
Heard the world breathe again
Funny how the end of everything
Feels quiet when it ends

From Helgen to the edge of the map
I followed every sign
Not to save the world forever
Just to survive my time

I’ve been north, I’ve been low
I’ve been lost, I’ve been found
Every place I ever stood
Is still standing in me now

So if you ask me where I’m from
I won’t say just one name
I’m every road I ever walked
Every save, every flame
