The Waiting Door

A song about Ancestor Worship

---

Saint Veloth's Great Despair begins a story new
Tribunal birthing pains, Azura's grace eschewed
Ancestors wake from dreaming, kin worship their seeming
The Nerevar led Chimer 'til the fall

Despite Azura's curse, the Dunmer carried on
Ancestors summoned forth through noon and dusk and dawn
New priests brought forth new thought, the Waiting Door was sought
Built cities of the dead in Necrom's walls

Life's end sets your spirit free with nary an exception
So honor your forebears with every breath
You should ask no boons unless ill-pressed, lest Mortal Chill should come
And seek Necrom to commune with death

You will die one day
You'll be revered one day
Will you seek the Waiting Door?

Throughout Necrom's dark halls, the priests' footsteps are heard
They welcome visitors to their ancestors' home
To wander catacombs, don't fear—you're not alone
Your ancestors and priests will remind you ….

Life's end sets your spirit free with nary an exception
So honor your forebears with every breath
You should ask no boons unless ill-pressed, lest Mortal Chill should come
And seek Necrom to commune with death

You will die one day
You'll be revered one day
Will you seek the Waiting Door?
