Under Our Hearts We Do Plummet (Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, Vaermina)

Hush little dreamer,

No need to tread lightly,

Surely you remember me,

Welcome back to the land of never-mind you visit here nightly,

I am the only constant in this Quagmire its queen and keeper,

So let's break down your barriers consider this an audition,

For in my land "fear" and "wonder" are synonymous,

Unimaginable horrors inspire feverish compositions,

Doomsayers' masterpieces are bred here from visions both deranged and animus,

I've noticed your struggles my child,

The instruments gathering dust, the derelict ink congealing on the tile,

I can be the answer to your prayers,

Our relationship will brand you a heretic but the gods' silence reveals the true betrayer,

The masses insist on repeating invocations only proving their faith is merely cosmetic,

But with you as my vessel our influence will usher a new revelation,

A new perspective in every contortion of the body,

Wiping the slate clean with every laceration,

Release control and open your mind to my message,

Anointed by nightly terrors and trauma unending,

You have become my primal vestige,

Reveling in hallucinations of nameless monstrosities and senseless beheadings,

Our words will hold the world enthralled,

Your audiences filled with the reviled and the appalled,

But they will leave touched by my voice,

And after a visit to my realm in their slumber,

I will torment them until they learn to rejoice,

For I am the goddess Vaermina all will bow before me,

The queen of nightmares, the memory monger,

Let me reveal to them my divine prophecy,

Surrender your tongue and preach my holy eulogy,


"She weaves the fabrics of horror,
She ushers doom to your door,
She whispers through lullabies,
Showing you incredible wonders once you open your mind."
