The Lament of the Stormborn is an ancient song about the Stormborn, a religious people from the First Age who worshipped the Sky, the Storm, the Sun and the Four Winds, and is one of the songs listed in the Lebenslied song book. It chronicles a tragic tale of the last days of the Stormborn as they face what is known as the Betrayer in a final battle and perish but not before the only survivor passes on the song to a new generation. Although the lament contains straightforward passages, it has cryptic stanzas as well, which give it an air of mystery because little information about the Stormborn has survived to the present day.
