Text
O, sing a song of Balduran
Who founded Baldur's Gate.
Empire golden built on trade,
Could not avert his fate.
When three, though dead, assailed his port
Transformed, he fell their thrall.
Succumbed as threat from nether years
Arose to conquer all.
Now hope is gone, or so it seems
But game's not over yet.
New cards are drawn, new hands are played
Newcomers place a bet.
A knave, a wizard, devil, gith:
The odds are cast anew
And Baldur's fate now turns upon
The whims of fortune's few...
Notes
- These are song lyrics that match actual vocals used by in-game music. If the player rents a room from Elfsong Tavern, the background music has a vocalist singing these exact lyrics. This is likely the Elf spirit that haunts the tavern and gave it its name, as described in the tabletop D&D adventure Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus.
- The specific lyrics of 'a knave, a wizard, devil, gith' could be a reference to specific Origin characters.
