Ballad of the Basilisk is a music track unlocked during Hero's Welcome.
Lyrics
T'was on a haughty winter, we're bitten with frost
And none would dare venture where many were lost
V sailed his mighty longship to the island of stone
Where the king of the serpents had made it his home
The storm, it was a ragin' waves, broke on the deck
The bell rang with a tolling to warn of the wreck
But none could deter him from the fate of his quest
Winds tore through the main sail yet onward he pressed
Sing praise to our hero
And remember with cheer (Hey!)
When V smote the basilisk
And freed us from fear
He... Ro... V... Smote... Praise... Cheer... Freed us from fear!
V landed near the cavern, the tale of the wind
He bellowed to the beast there and it crawled to him
This bane of the Fremennik with a crown on his head
Strolled top from the hollow, its eyes burning red
All those who looked upon it
Were doomed by its gaze
Their hearts, a cold granite
Their veins, a stone maze
The maw of the mighty serpent
Gaped wide like a gate
A wail shook the mountains
And echoed its hate
Sing praise to our hero
And remember with cheer (Hey!)
When V smote the basilisk
And freed us from fear
He... Ro... V... Smote... Praise... Cheer... Freed us from fear!
Fangs dripping with venom
Rushed in for the kill
But V flexed his kiteshield
And stopped the beast still
The shield had been polished
With hot rocks and oil
At the sight of its likeness
It retched and recoiled
Blood streamed from its eyes
And fledged statues like rain
With a swing of V's halberd
The serpent was slain
Its pelt, he made a cape
And some teeth into horns
Great monster lies dead
And a hero was born
Sing praise to our hero
And remember with cheer (Hey!)
When V smote the basilisk
And freed us from fear
Sing praise to our hero
And remember with cheer (Hey!)
When V smote the basilisk
And freed us from fear
He... Ro... V... Smote... Praise... Cheer... Freed us from fear!
