Singing in Blood | Original Dark Symphonic Rock – Lillia’s Dark Brotherhood Story (Skyrim-Inspired)

Step into the shadows with this original symphonic rock anthem. Blending brooding electric guitar riffs, eerie orchestral violins, and powerful percussion, "Singing in Blood" captures Lillia’s chilling descent into the Dark Brotherhood — and her ultimate liberation. "Is that a smile?..." Watch until the very final second. The Story Behind the Song From a brutal childhood at Honorhall Orphanage to her personal revenge on Grelod the Kind, Lillia’s path through the Dark Brotherhood is one of blood, betrayal, and freedom. This track is the musical heart of her "Singing in Blood" arc — from induction by Astrid, the ruthless choice in the Abandoned Shack, her defiance of the Night Mother, to executing the Emperor and riding free. Lyrics by Reaching for Dragons I met a young boy in Windhelm, He had a sad story to tell He thought I was from the Dark Brotherhood And had a request for a kill And of course I murdered the bitch Since I was a girl, I'd known that name Grelod the kind, she was Grelod the Cruel She'd beat us with sticks and with shame And now she'll never speak again She'll speak no more But me, I'm singing Singing in blood The Dark Brotherhood paid me a visit It was one of theirs Astrid said You must do something to even the score Someone had a price on their head Three victims, she showed me and said One of the three must die by your hand Why take a chance, I ended all three Astrid was pleased I'd killed on demand And now they'll never speak again They'll speak no more But me, I'm singing Singing in blood And so I joined the Brotherhood Doing good by taking out evil Many a contract did I carry out Until there was an upheaval The Night Mother, she was silent But she spoke to me one night I don't want to listen, I want to sing And get my contracts in my sights And now they'll never speak again They'll speak no more But me, I'm singing Singing in blood And we were to kill the emperor But Astrid deceived us all We were betrayed and the sanctuary burned I heard again the Night Mother's call The emperor fell to my arrow And that was the last straw for me I won't be tied down to be listener I left them there and rode free And now I'll never sing again I'll sing no more I'm not singing Singing in blood --- 🎶 Music Video Collection:    • Skyrim-Inspired Original Music   🪙 Support the journey on Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/reachingfordragons 🎁 Shop https://reaching-for-dragons-shop.fou...
