Lyrics

To the tune of "The Golden One" from The Witcher OST

I grew up having nothing - I kid, there was too much

Too many yowling, clam'ring kits to know a mother's touch

And Thunder they called me then, till the name was forgot and giv'n to another

My little brother, forgetting me again

Poor and ignored - well, it could've been worse

But I won't be known by a name so cursed

I'll not be unseen nor left in the lurch

Oh I tell you my name is First

I tell you my name is First

My name is First

I need Jeltir to love me, not to snub me as it's done

A long and lively history - their attention must be won

But how am I to win it while I'm young and meek and scared?

I need everyone to know me, but I'm not beyond compare

Oh

Poor and ignored - well, it could be worse

'Least I won't be known by a name that's cursed

I'll not be unseen nor left in the lurch

Oh I tell you my name is First

I tell you my name is First

My name is First

Rili doesn't get it, but this really can't go on

This kingdom's just another family who wouldn't know I'm gone

I guess I'll ask these foreign gods what on earth is left to try?

My heart keeps breaking every day, and soon enough, I'll die

Poor and ignored - can it get much worse?

Is this just another name that's cursed?

Don't leave me unseen or out in the lurch

Oh please see me, my name is First

I'm here, my name is First

My name is First

My name is First
