    I'm pretty sure Dragonsong is sung by either hraesvelgr, tiamat, or vidofnir. Or at least by on of the dragon, considering that the lyric said "children of the land".

    Revolutions is harder to interpret, but the grounded feeling I get from the lyrics made me think it's sung by the revolution army.

    As for tomorrow and tomorrow, I believe it's either sung by minfilia and the souls lost due to flood of light or Ironworks of 8UC timeline. We might even say that the second verse is sung by the Ancients. The "storm who weeps" most likely talks about hydaelyn.
    At Pax 2015, Koji Fox said that Dragonsong was sung by Hydaelyn.
    Both Answers and Dragonsong are from Hydaelyn’s perspective, Koji confirms. In Answers, the wandering races are lamenting their existence and how life is so hard, while Hydaelyn is explaining that suffering leads you to understand who you are and what role you will play. This is contrasted in Dragonsong, where Hyadelyn doesn’t understand why her children have let the circumstances of the Dragonsong War become what they have. The contents of the songs in the game are, indeed, canon, so keep speculating based on the lyrics – some do have deeper meaning.
    Revolutions is sung by the same singer in the same way as the other 2 so I wouldn't be surprised if that was also Hydaelyn.

    I don't believe Tomorrow and Tomorrow is Hydaelyn, however.
