Nord Mead
Miracle of Sound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're merry men of Skyrim
So sturdy and so stout
When the day is done
When it's time for fun
We'll drink and sing and shout

You weak livered milk drinkers
Can let your throats run dry
Cause there's just one drink
That we will sink
Until the day we die

Drinking mead in the halls of Whiterun
The maidens and the men
We swig our brew
Until we spew
Then we fill our mugs again

You can keep your filthy Skooma
It makes our bellies bleed
Cause when we raise our flagon
To another dead dragon
There is just one drink we need
Nord mead!
Nord mead!

Chug a mug of mead
And another mug of mead
Chug another mug of mead
Till you fall down
Chug a mug of mead
And another mug of mead
Chug another mug of mead, warrior

After the long hard days
Of hunting and of war
Our throats are tired and thirsty
And our bodies drenched in gore

But we won't waste our evenings
Feeling tired and feeling spent
We perk right up when we breathe in
That wholesome honey scent

That Cyrodilic Brandy
Too fruity for these tongues
You can keep your fancy alto wine
It tastes like horker dung!

Balmora Blue tastes great to you
But here we like it plain
Just fill my mug
With the mighty jug
Of honey, heart and grain

Drinking mead in the halls of Whiterun
The maidens and the men
We swig our brew
Until we spew
Then we fill our mugs again

You can keep your filthy Skooma
It makes our bellies bleed
Cause when we raise our flagon
To another dead dragon
There is just one drink we need
Nord mead!
Nord mead!
Nord mead!

Chug a mug of mead
And another mug of mead
Chug another mug of mead
Till you fall down (Nord mead!)
Chug a mug of mead




And another mug of mead
Chug another mug of mead, warrior!

When I drink with my father, we tend to start singing. I don't know if this matters, or if anyone cares, but he didn't know this song when I started singing it. Now, every once in a while, when he wants another beer (or more whiskey, or whatever), he just starts singing: "We raise our flagon to another dead dragon!"

Thank you, Gav. I don't know if you'll see this, and I don't know if you care, but you gave my family a "thing."

I used the Becoming a Bard mod and added this song to my songbook. I waited until I was a Master Bard and performed it in a very crowded Bannered Mare (thanks to Lively Inns and Taverns mod), with my Dragonborn doing vocals and playing the lute, Serana on the flute, and Myoll the Lioness on drums. The crowd went crazy with applause. Best thing I've ever done in Skyrim.
EVER!

@Tindle It's on the site called Fan Fiction Called Rise Of The Dragon Child. Harry isn't the Dragonborn BORN, the original was killed before the start of the Skyrim game, so Akatosh choose Harry, of all the other beings on other worlds to replace him, with the gift of the same abilities. For all intents and purposes he IS the Dragonborn, just....not born. Harry is adopted by Jarl Balgruuf, he sees him as a type of son and trained by the companions. So imagine what happens when Balgruuf finds his adopted son drunk dancing on the table singing Nord Mead. Chapter 17. Link- https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11797476/1/Rise-of-the-Dragon-Child

Skyrim logic:
 -Hey guys, you know that guy who just killed a dragon and ate its soul?
 -Yeah, what?
 -LET'S MUG HIM!

To be fair, if you're playing on Legendary difficulty, getting mugged by a half-naked bandit armed with a rusty spoon is actually a very serious situation.

Aurielis son of auriel
