The Last Dragonborn


"The Last Dragonborn" by DragonForce is a power metal song performed in the key of D major. It was released as the opening track of their sixth studio album, "Reaching into Infinity," in 2017. The song was composed by the band's guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, known for their fast-paced and intricate guitar work. As a popular choice in their live performances, "The Last Dragonborn" pays tribute to the video game series "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim," specifically referencing the game's protagonist, the Dragonborn. With its soaring and epic melodies, the song showcases DragonForce's signature blend of high-energy performances, precise musicianship, and fantasy-inspired lyrics.
