You'll float too...
It's almost Halloween! That means I get to start putting out some spooky music. There's more to come as well, with Howling at the Moon - EP releasing on the 31st at midnight!
Circle the Drain is a song inspired by the film IT, which I watched recently and fell in love with. The perspective of the song comes from the view of the kids hunted by "it", and the twisted hunt that they can't escape. While the song isn't exactly optimistic about their chances of making it out alive, I won't give any spoilers!

Lyrics:
Somewhere down
Beneath the quiet streets
We've been searching for the answer
We've been losing track of time
Come to life
From our darkest dreams
Through uncanny, bleeding eyes
Through a whisper just behind
We're lost in the deep end
We're losing our minds
There's blood in the water
And fear left us blind
What kind of a monster
Is clever and wild?
Insatiable hunger
For the soul of a child
I'm with you, but I'm still afraid
Though we're stronger together
There's a demon below
And we're all gonna float away
As we circle the drain
Vicious smiles
Games of cruelty
Made from my own thoughts of dread
For a hellish appetite
Promise me
In the coming storm
When the hunt starts one by one
You'll stay by my side to fight
In the deep we're falling further
Vacuous faces in the dark
And we are the next mark
Don't look down
You're floating now
We're floating now
So we'll sail together
Don't let go
I'll save you so
This horror show
Won't last forever
You'll float too...

Here we are together, at the end of an era. With Bonfire (A Rest) hailing as my final Dark Souls song, it felt appropriate to pay tribute to the serene melancholy of gathering around a flame and resting while bumping into other travelers of the same need. Somewhere along the way, it turned into a ballad of friendship and comradery, much like an end-of-the-year holiday gathering among old acquaintances. I suppose this is about as seasonal as a Dark Souls song could be! Ive even gone and edited in a little extra holiday cheer.
Thank you all for being here with me on my journey through these transitory lands.
Lyrics:
I felt my bones shiver
Across rifts of time
I saw ghosts in the mist
And their faces like mine
And I looked to the footsteps
And gazed on a sign
That said call my name
Ill join in the fight
Broken and withered
We will rise again
My brothers and sisters
In death we are friends
Incandescent together
A slow fading light
The efforts cascading
Our time is tonight
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
Old friends and rivals
We sit by the flame
To share in the moment
Before we can claim
Our own destinys purpose
In each of our homes
Weve all got our battles
But no ones alone
Nameless and searching
The light keeps us warm
In need and in danger
It guides through the storm
As we share in a question
Will we meet again
To sing by the embers
And brace for the end
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
When we light a bonfire to rest
Undying forever
Through war and dark weather
Binding to search for a light
Some lit by grace or by embers
Were searching together
Starved for that break from the fight
Swords losing sharpness
To angels and darkness
These soldiers push on through the mire
Now were all faced with the ending
The burn before mending
A vision to let there be fire
Fractured and feeble
Ordinary people
Putting resolve to the test
Nobody chose to be risen
But new life is given
