Bull, Dan - The Bard's Secret Lyrics






Excuse me, outlander
A word in your ear, if I may

Well met, stranger
Elated to make your acquaintance
Now, may I entertain you with some quotations over cadence?
You see, I bear some rare, amazing information
And you look like someone who is used to strange situations
There is a hidden portal within the Bard's College
I was brought through, an immortal to impart knowledge
About an otherworldly form of Redguard sonnet
They took a thumping drum beat and said bars on it

I wandered through Solitude, departed Haafingar
Past Hjaalmarch, through The Reach, east of Markarth
I reached the Whiterun Hold
I preached in rhyme and told the people
That the need to speak was higher than the price of gold
Nothing can beat soul, not even sweet rolls
I've got it locked like a pick stuck in a keyhole
I leave you wee trolls wishing that you'd re-rolled
By the Nine Divines, my rhyme's a sight to behold
My freeholds are threefold
I rock the property chain
'Cause I'm the top bloody Thane in this Monopoly game

So you'd better watch the throne, Stormcloak
Cause you're getting overthrown by an ordinary bloke
It's high time Skyrim had a new High King
And I like hiking, it's quite exciting
I'm descended from the Vikings back in my kingdom
But my lyric writing's better than my skill at fighting
My pen is mightier than swords; it's the right choice
They call me "MF Thu'um" when I use my Voice
With each rap, my Speechcraft keeps stacking
If you could see the graph, you'd actually be laughing
You'll never sound as fresh, I'm a rockstar
I climb the seven thousand steps to High Hrothgar
Like Jurgen Windcaller, my words'll bring more disorder
Than mixing Skooma in an Orcish brigand's drink order
A bawdy bard that raps, my Voice'll cause your cart to crash
Your horse's armor cracks under the awesome force of Paarthurnax

But here's the secret I needed to tell
You can be an MC with me as well
Forget the Blades, me and you don't need the Greybeards
Who are Mehrunes Dagon and the Daedra to an atheist?
Mages, take your Spell Tome and go the hell home
'Cause who needs boots of speed when we've got shell toes?
And, so whether you drink Honeymead or Alto
Be sure that Dan'll smelt flows 'til all of Tamriel knows
You should use the bars of the bard deep inside you
And tilll we meet again, friend
Talos guide you
Talos guide you

  23. T.... J....

    "I rock the property chain, because I'm the top bloody Thane in this Monopoly game."


    These lines are on fire 🔥

  24. D.... ....

    Still one of my absolute favourites from the Bull master. I swear to god these raps are the reason I'm considering scrapping my mac (and my socially active lifestyle) for a trusty gaming pc.

  25. A.... S....

    Stormcloaks are better than the imperials!

  26. T.... G....

    Masterpiece

  27. G.... C....

    This got me infinitely more interested in the Bard's College than the actual Bard's College questline.

  28. F.... ....

    It's still so good! Argh! Can't get enough!

  29. L.... ....

    this is still awesome

  30. O.... ....

    So me and my friend were trying to talk on discord. She was getting no sound. I started to say random stuff so that she'd know when righted the issue. I then started singing this. I heard her laughing about half way through. She'd got the sound working from 'well met stranger' and had been listening for a while deliberately trying to keep quiet so I'd keep going. She says it was the best greeting she'd ever heard

  31. W.... J....

    2019 and still playing skyrim on PC

  32. S.... D....

    As an atheist I can say within game believing makes sense you pray to the aedra and get blessings, Daedra speak and give items that's some solid evidence. IRL you don't see the like and can actually use several studies to show praying is harmful if the subject is informed of it, like a reverse placebo hahaha!

  33. F.... M....

    He called it "Redguard Sonnet" because rap is typically seen as black music. How did I not catch that, that was so good

  34. A.... A....

    I'll be the one getting drunk in the background.

    Honetly, Mikael was my least favourite bard. He was such a cocky guy, and his performances weren't even the best. Eitherway, his animations were a decent choice for this video. Wonderful rap, as always. I often think of this song when playing Skyrim, so kudos to you for making a catchy and rememberable bard rap!
