The story in the song

This original song is a mythic ballad for the Nerevarine, echoing the prophecy of Moon-and-Star and the tragedy of friends turned gods. It blends dark-folk, ancient chant, and cinematic choir to capture the weight of judgment, mercy, and destiny at Red Mountain.

Drawing from Azura’s prophecy, the Tribunal’s betrayal, the Heart of Lorkhan, and the final confrontation with Dagoth Ur, this piece brings together both the myth and the man — Nerevar reborn, struggling to deliver justice without losing himself.

Lyrics

Lumen Azura, vocem fer, in cinerem, in cor. Nerevar, redi sub lunam et stellam. Caverns remember, ghosts remember. Judge, moon‑marked pilgrim; the Ghostfence hums for you. Break the false thrones where lies were sworn true. Red Mountain waits; the Heart still beats below. We failed the trial—be the fire we could not hold. I wear the ring that knows my name—Moon‑and‑Star. Friends turned gods, a friend turned ash—how far? Between a wound of justice and a mercy scar. Azura, weigh my hands; unbar the door. Mercy like water, justice like flame, Under Moon‑and‑Star I carry both names. Love made a weapon, betrayal a brand— I’ll end what you started, but not who I am. Moon‑and‑Star… Moon‑and‑Star. (Dagoth) Sleep, old friend—let the House make you whole. (Nerevarine) I saw the Heart burn holes in every soul. (Dagoth) Forgive what was taken; we’ll dream them alive. (Nerevarine) I’ll dream you forgiven—and still break your lie. Sunder in thunder, Keening’s cry, Wraithguard steady this mortal side. If law is a blade, let love be the guide— Azura, keep my aim—don’t kill my light. Mercy like water, justice like flame, Under Moon‑and‑Star I carry both names. Vivec, Sotha, Ayem—I knew your hands, I’ll end what you’ve taken, not all we began. Vivec, poet‑spear, you wrote me into war. Sotha Sil, machine of mercy, locked your doors. Almalexia, my bright knife dressed as love— I remember your warmth; I remember your blood. O Nerevar, hortator verus, audi nos. In tenebris montis, cor Lorkhanis sonat. From prisoner chains to pilgrim roads, the myth‑echo rings—choose the load. Mercy like water, justice like flame, Under Moon‑and‑Star I carry both names. Love made a weapon, betrayal a brand— I’ll end what you started, but not who I am. Set me free to judge with a gentle hand, to leave a little kindness in the ash and sand. Moon‑and‑Star… guide me home.
