The Daedra Song

A kind of fan-music, a song written about the daedric monsters in the TES game series. The idea was "a children's rhyme, sung by Cyrodiilic children who don't really know what they're singing about".

Oh, I'd like to be an Atronach, I'd like it very much
For flesh would burn, and bones would freeze with everything I touch!
Ice and ashes, would the mortals be
If they should dare to mess with me
Oh, I'd like to be an Atronach, I'd like it very much.

I'd like to be a Daedric Prince, I'd like it very bad
The power that I'd have would be the most I've ever had!
I'd enjoy myself, and never fret
With power over life and death
Oh, I'd like to be a Daedric Prince, I'd like it very bad.

I'd like to be a Clannfear, that would be so very cool
The flesh of men and mer I'd tear with sharp claws as my tool!
Everyone else, they'd soon be dead
I'd charge into them with my head
Oh, I'd like to be a Clannfear, that would be so very cool.

I'd like to be a litte scamp, that's what I'd like to be
Those who like to call us weak, they'd better not look down on me!
To run and hide, it will have no effect
I'd slash them when they least expect
Oh, I'd like to be a little scamp, that's what I'd like to be.

I'd like to be a Golden Saint, I think that would be fine
How well that job would suit this little sadist streak of mine!
The crazies from the real world sent,
I'd punish til my heart's content
Oh, I'd like to be a Golden Saint, I think that would be fine.

I'd like to be a Daedroth, that would be very fun
I'd ravage every town from Seyda Neen to Tel Aruhn!
I'm not a crocodile per se,
Having two legs leaves my sharp claws free
Oh, I'd like to be a Daedroth, that would be very fun.

I'd like to be a Xivilai, I'm sure you'd like it too
Just think of all the lovely Dark Seducers I could woo!
There'd be few opponents I can't kill
The rest, my summoned Clannfears will
Oh, I'd like to be a Xivilai, I'm sure you'd like it too.

Author's Note

For those who haven't played the TES games: "Mer" means "Elves" in the language of the elves themselves.
