Constellations is a song I wrote in early 2012 about the contemplation of existence, and while the original song was uploaded to YouTube and "finished", I never really felt like it ended. It's a topic that has so much emotional depth to it, and it has some personal connections to my own experiences. Four years later, I've decided to remake the song into something a little different, still expressing the emotional void that the original contained. Some will prefer the original's spacey sound I'm sure, but I hope you enjoy this new reimagining of Constellations.
Constellations is part of my new album, "A Song That Never Ends," which you can find below:

Lyrics:
Lights go out
The sun goes down
I stand and
Turn around
And watch the
Stars above me
Time goes by
I fall apart
Things come and go
And try to break my heart
I'm trapped and
I can't seem to break free
Constellations
We're all fighting to find the truth
With determination
I'll fill the void between me and you
Looking up I will depart
I'll spread my wings so take my heart
To the constellations and make my dreams come true
Take me back
To where I once was
Turn on the lights
In the sky above
I'm lost in the
Bitter darkness
I can't breathe
In your atmosphere
Where have I gone
And how did I get here
I'm trying but I can't escape this
We own the stars
We own the sky
Mortality finds me tonight
And I don't know where I belong
Lost centuries
One broken earth
Human at last
A new rebirth
A never ending song
Hearts in the dark
Like embers glow
To rise above, or lie below
To never find the purpose
I've seen the key
I need the truth
Within our minds surviving youth
The call we heed to escape this

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
