The '''Song of Wars''' is one of the songs detailing the oral history of the [[listener]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa2|26}} It was likely one of the songs written by the [[Last Legion]] in order to keep their memories alive.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}}
 
It has at least fifty-five stanzas, and it presumably details the history of various listener wars.{{book ref|sa4|48}} Notably, the song states that the [[Shattered Plains]] were not created by the listener gods, the [[Fused]]. It also indicates that written records with more information about the Shattering once existed, but they have since been lost.{{epigraph ref|sa2|26}}
