Gilded Shadows of House Hlaalu

*(Verse 1)*
Silver tongues and veiled ambitions,
We rise in shadow, stealth and might,
We forge our fortunes through tradition,
In Vvardenfell, we claim the night.
The banners fly with hidden meaning,
In ebony halls, we strike our deals,
Dagoth’s curse and Tribunal scheming,
Won’t halt the grinding of our wheels.
*(Chorus)*
We are the whispers of the market,
The silent coin and shifting hand,
Great House Hlaalu, forever scarlet,
Building empire on stolen sand.
*(Verse 2)*
With gold we conquer, land by land,
To gods and law we feign respect,
But secrets brew at each command,
We cloak the crimes they least expect.
Our reach unseen, our lies entwined,
An unseen empire built on greed,
While others slumber, weak and blind,
We claim the power they concede.
*(Chorus)*
We are the whispers of the market,
The silent coin and shifting hand,
Great House Hlaalu, forever scarlet,
Building empire on stolen sand.
*(Bridge)*
Let Telvanni hide in arcane lore,
Let Redoran serve as noble slaves,
The Empire bends to gold and war,
Yet Hlaalu shall outlive their graves.
*(Verse 3)*
On temple steps we walk with pride,
In gilded robes of velvet black,
Our promises conceal and hide,
The shadows trailing down our back.
They call us thieves, they call us snakes,
But every truth is ours to twist,
For power, profit, all it takes,
In every shadow we exist.
*(Chorus)*
We are the whispers of the market,
The silent coin and shifting hand,
Great House Hlaalu, forever scarlet,
Building empire on stolen sand.
*(Outro)*
So heed this warning, all who claim,
To wield the power of Nirn’s own flame,
Hlaalu’s vengeance, Hlaalu’s might,
Shall rule in shadow, rule in night.
