Amaranth

Baptised with a perfect name,
The doubting one by heart,
Alone without himself.
War between him and the day,
Need someone to blame.
In the end, little he can do alone.
You believe but what you see,
You receive but what you give.
Caress the one, the Never-Fading,
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow,
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak.
Apart from the wandering pack,
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare.
Reaching, searching for something untouched,
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling.
Caress the one, the Never-Fading.
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow,
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak.
== Notes ==
In the context of Relics of Hyrule, the lyrics may refer to Alduin in the first two stanzas. The "never-fading" may also refer to Alduin, but is more likely to refer to relics of Hyrule; objects that will never deteriorate and are hidden in modern-day Skyrim. In this sense, the "land of daybreak" is Skyrim in the fourth era, after the Last Great War of Hyrule. The "war between him and the day" is the Last Great War, and the "tears of snow-white sorrow" may refer to the sorrows of the goddesses and the unseasonable winter Hyrule suffered during the Last Great War.
The lyrics could also be interpreted to refer to the Yiga and their reverence for Ganon. "The hiding amaranth" could refer to the Yiga themselves, given their red color scheme. In this context, the "him" in the song would be Ganon.
== Background and Inspiration ==
Amaranth is a song by Nightwish from their album Dark Passion Play, with lyrics by Tuomas Holopainen.
JKalenad had considered including lyrics from the song years before the addition of Rage in version 6.5, but did not feel the song would fit the lore. After the lore was refined to include Alduin, JKalenad reconsidered the song, but did not find a place to include it until Rage was implemented.
