The Witcher: Blood Origin is out now on Netflix, and it’s introduced a whole different era on the Continent. While The Witcher details the adventures of Geralt of Rivia, Blood Origin takes place 1,200 years earlier, before monsters or humans ever set foot in the fantasy world we know and love.
That’s not to say that there are no familiar faces; the bard Jaskier (Joey Batey) appears in Blood Origin as one of the narrators telling a tale about seven warriors who overthrew an elven empire. Netflix’s first live-action Witcher spinoff begins with Jaskier being spirited away from a brutal battle in a forest by the mysterious Seanchaí (Minnie Driver), an otherworldly being who travels through time collecting stories.
SeanchaÍ relays the story of the Seven over the course of the spinoff so that Jaskier might bring it to the modern Continent. As such, it should come as no surprise that the bard’s particular skills come into play during the show’s end credits when we’re treated to his newest hit song, “The Song of the Seven.”
Wonder what exactly Jaskier’s saying in his latest banger? We’ve got you covered. Here are the lyrics to “The Song of the Seven.”
“The Song of the Seven” lyrics
You’re nothing, you’re less
You’re broken, a mess
Defeated and hopeless
You’ll sink to the depths.
The oppressors are mighty,
Way greater in strength.
Let history warn you
Resistance means death.
Forget all they’ve told you
For history’s fine glow
Is tarnished by those
Who don’t want you to know
The power of your stories
Your songs, and yourselves
To take back the land
For the dwarves and the elves.
So sing loud and proud
The Song of the Seven
Be you halfling or gnome,
Or Dwarven or Elven
You carry their stories
No oppressor can hide them
Carry their glories and rise
We will rise
Bonded in a blood quest
For vengeance and truth
Destined to fail but the Seven refused
Seven warriors apart unite as one fist
The empire would crush them,
But they said “Fuck this”
They said, “Fuck this”
They rallied the people
With brave deed and song
Their courage has shown them
The right from the wrong
The power of a story
Put fire in their veins
The people will rise up
To bring forth a change
So sing loud and proud
The Song of the Seven
Be you halfling or gnome,
Or Dwarven or Elven
You carry their stories
No oppressor can hide them
Carry their glories and rise
We will rise
We will rise
Oh, we will rise
We will rise
Oh, we will rise
Oh
Sing loud and proud
The Song of the Seven
Be you halfling or gnome,
Or Dwarven or Elven
You carry their stories
No oppressor can hide them
Carry their glories and rise
We will rise
Sing loud and proud
The Song of the Seven
Be you halfling or gnome,
Or Dwarven or Elven
You carry their stories
No oppressor can hide them
Carry their glories and rise
