Ragnar the Red

A song that is sung by Bards in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim typically heard within the taverns and inns found in most cities and towns and settlements. It's about a Hero who started becoming a bit boastful about the battles he fought and gold he made up to the point where he gets decapitated by a shieldmaiden. Lyrics below
-Song composed by Jeremy Soule as well as the soundtracks for Skyrim and its predecessors Oblivion and Morrowind-

Oh, there once was a hero named Ragnar the Red
Who came riding to Whiterun from ole Rorikstead
And the braggart did swagger and brandish his blade
As he told of bold battles and gold he had made

But then he went quiet, did Ragnar the Red
When he met the shieldmaiden Matilda who said
Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead
Now I think it's high time that you lie down and bleed

And so then came clashing and slashing of steel
As the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal
And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor

And the braggart named Ragnar was boastful no more
When his ugly red head rolled around on the floor
