"Ballad of Soulkeeper" is a song by the Metal Legion. It is dedicated to General Almorra Soulkeeper[1] and tells the story of her early years as legionnaire of the Soul Warband, their deaths from Kralkatorrik's Brand (Almorra's Massacre), the founding of the Vigil, and finally the defeat of Kralkatorrik. The song can be heard during A Concert for the Ages in Grothmar Valley.
Lyrics[edit]
The following is an unofficial, player-written transcription. Its accuracy has not been verified by ArenaNet.
- This is a tale of a soldier
- This is an epic of the Soulkeeper
- Battle-sisters and brothers
- In the fahrar they found one another
- Trained side by side
- Chose their weapons
- Kept in stride
- Warband held ready at the ranks
- Soulkeeper led, Soulslasher flanked
- Routine mission, Lowland Burns
- Soul's fate darker turned
- Kralkatorrik happened so quick
- Screams of pain, the faces change
- All corrupted save one
- A nightmare, just begun
- Soul forever altered
- Love turned to slaughter
- They struck each other down
- Brand soaked the ground
- Mindless beasts drenched in horror
- A warband remained
- Came for Almorra with one final thrust
- The General did what she must
- Freed the last of her warband
- From the Crystal Dragon's Brand
- No sisters at her side
- No brothers at her back
- A general, alone
- Soulkeeper with no Soul
- Rising from her knees
- Her kin's blood on the breeze
- She came out of her daze
- With loss turned to rage
- Fangs out, blade sharp
- Vengeance beat her heart
- Oaths and victories taken
- Soulkeeper's Vigil
- Remains unshaken
- The Vigil, she keeps
- The Vigil, she spreads
- Calling all arms to her
- To get the dragon dead
- Soulkeeper
- Dragonreaper
- Soulkeeper
- Dragonreaper
- Soulkeeper
- Dragonreaper
- Face the beast
- Once more (Soulkeeper)
- Light the blaze
- Of war (Justice Seeker)
- Keeper of souls (Soulkeeper)
- Dragon's bell tolls (Dragonreaper)
- Keeper of souls (Soulkeeper)
- Dragon's bell tolls
- Soulkeeper
- Dragonreaper
- Born to lead (Soulkeeper)
- Born to mourn (Justice Seeker)
- Born to avenge (Dragonreaper)
- Dragon Reaper
- Soulkeeper (Soulkeeper)
- Soulkeeper (Soulkeeper)
- Soulkeeper (Soulkeeper)
- Dragon Reaper
