Lyrics

I was a warrior, strong and bold,
Swingin’ my sword through the frost and the cold.
Fought off dragons, bandits too,
Stormed through dungeons like heroes do!
One fine day, in Whiterun’s square,
Lookin’ for work, breathin’ in the air,
Then outta nowhere, with deadly speed,
Came an arrow… straight to my knee.
Ohhh, I took an arrow to the knee,
Now my adventurin’ days are history!
No more quests, no more fights,
Just standin’ here guardin’ walls all night!
Ohhh, I took an arrow to the knee,
Now I just tell tales of who I used to be!
I once slew trolls, I once sailed the sea,
But now I just watch… and let people be.
I had dreams of riches and gold,
Slaying Alduin, being legendary and bold.
But fate had plans, cruel as can be,
Now I’m stuck in solitude—literally!
I wear this helmet, I stand real tall,
But deep inside… I’ve lost it all.
For who needs honor? Who needs fame?
When you can limp and take the blame!
Ohhh, I took an arrow to the knee,
Now my adventurin’ days are history!
No more dungeons, no more loot,
Just warnin’ folks ‘bout thieves en route!
Ohhh, I took an arrow to the knee,
Now I just tell tales of who I used to be!
I once fought giants, I once ran free,
But now I just stare at NPCs…
Some say it’s a metaphor, some say it’s fate,
Some say I faked it—man, I just ain’t!
‘Cause trust me, stranger, I wouldn’t lie,
That arrow took my whole damn life!
Ohhh, I took an arrow to the knee,
Now my adventurin’ days are history!
Once a legend, once so grand,
Now I just wave with my guard-duty hand!
So if you’re young, if you’re brave,
If you seek glory beyond the grave…
Take this lesson—listen to me,
And wear some armor on your damn knees!
