AviatorsI didn't want to do it. I refused to hop on the bandwagon and make a FNAF song just like every other YouTube musician, but the temptation was too much. It's one of those things I guess, it just inspires awesome music.
So here it is, a song based on Five Nights at Freddy's 2, written from the perspective of a security guard trying to escape the animatronics, and realizing they're more than simple machines.
Lyrics: One step at a time I'm going outta my mind I'm being hunted by something primal They're just simple machines Yet tainted souls they seem For five nights I'll fear for my survival Are they mechanical They hunt like animals Freezing for seconds while see their corpses I'm getting panicked now I'm locking this place down I'm feeling watched by unnatural forces
Looks like I'd better run for my life I'll never be in one piece to see night five I've got eleven on my tail, with no time to think Of a way to survive mechanical instinct
Just an hour more I'm closer than before To making it out of this ghastly madhouse I'm feeling desperate I'm starting to regret Taking my chances with no way out Who's walking down the hall? I can't keep track of them all A music box plays my dying song This is my one escape The mask still on my face But they have known I've been here all along
Here, all alone in the darkness Why, can't I escape their soulless eyes It's a lost cause now They've got my scent, and I can't get out Now, i'm afraid to look because They, are just beasts to hunt me down With no way fight back, the night is already over

Mechanical instinct Mechanical instinctAviators - Liar Liar (Lies of P Song)Aviators2024-10-18 | Listen + Stream:
It's long overdue, but this is my tribute to Lies of P! What an incredible game, definitely my favorite of the non-Fromsoft Soulslikes. The song follows the emotional journey of Pinocchio who has been created under false pretenses in an apocalyptic world of puppets. As he realizes the manipulation that's been pulling his strings all along, he decides to avenge his creator's blasphemy. This is also the first song of the new album, Casting Shadows! This is the only song on the album NOT about Elden Ring, but there's lots more dark fantasy music to be had there. Be sure to check that out in the link above and go ahead and grab a CD if you'd like one before the preorders run out. All those new songs will be hitting youtube shortly!

Lyrics:
[verse] Morality impaired By the blood and the oil that Stains my synthetic hair Though I push and I pull My conscience it goes nowhere A soul that feeds the sorrow Dreads tomorrow Hunter of my own kind Does it beg for the question When I have crossed the line Could the fears and the memories Ever seem like they’re mine Or is this shell left hollow Robbed or borrowed
[pre-chorus] So a scream displaces In a sea of mouthless faces From the wake of you Creation will destroy I have lived your long deception While I felt programmed affection Just another of Your broken, twisted toys
[chorus] So now you hang me on the headstone While you tell me to be brave But I have cut the strings completely From the tangled weave you made Is it the heart you gave that cursed me Knowing soon you’d tear it out A father’s moment to speak truly So tell me who’s the liar now?
[verse] Comforting words to me Have been made out of lies like Cosmetic surgery But the stitches have pulled and Blind as I was, I see The care I saw was breathless Dead and selfish Gears spinning towards a task When you told and assured me I was the best, the last Taught the right from the wrong From your putrid ways, your past Words from snakes are worthless You deserve this
[pre-chorus] So a scream displaces In a sea of mouthless faces From the wake of you Creation will destroy I have lived your long deception While I felt programmed affection Just another of Your broken, twisted toys
[chorus] So now you hang me on the headstone While you tell me to be brave But I have cut the strings completely From the tangled weave you made Is it the heart you gave that cursed me Knowing soon you’d tear it out A father’s moment to speak truly So tell me who’s the liar now?
[bridge] A fool Equipped with god's own tools Will always break the rules Just because he can, he can With his own hands To break Away the human fate A birth divine and fake When grief so kindly Turns to madness In the ashes How Do you think it hurts to trust a monster Now All the pain I bore has made me stronger Bow To the maker of a wrath divine Like you were mine
Wow, it sure has been a while, hasn't it? I usually put out more music than I have lately, so this year's been a little slow. Part of that is life, part of it is low inspiration, and most of all it's due to the fact I switched my entire workflow away from Windows and had to re-learn so much software and equipment. It all took a while, but I think it's smooth sailing now! As well as the usual slow-moving projects like Acoustic 3, I've been working on a new album called "Casting Shadows" that I can't wait to share with you on October 18th!
Like a lot of the upcoming songs, "Eternal Lullaby" was inspired by my recent experiences in the Elden Ring DLC "Shadow of the Erdree". This song mourns from the perspective of St. Trina, the discarded half of demigod Miquella, and the beloved deity of sleep. She questions why he would ever separate from her, and despite still feeling love for her other half, she sings out a sorrowful curse that he may never ascend to his dangerous goals.

Lyrics:
A flower left forgotten And wished to drift in sleep A heart stolen Broken open Blooms a sea of dreams That pools within the deep
I saw the loss in your eyes So did it hurt to leave behind The pieces of your soul That made us whole Two hearts betwixt one mind It kills me Now to see you throw Your love into the dregs below As heartbreak sings a sweet Eternal lullaby
The branches now you cling to A garden wrought with thorns It's a shame, and now a travesty That you'd root out every part of me And in that void A loveless god reborn
I saw the loss in your eyes So did it hurt to leave behind The pieces of your soul That made us whole Two hearts betwixt one mind It kills me Now to see you throw Your love into the dregs below As heartbreak sings a sweet Eternal lullaby
Creep, let them creep Oh twisted vines at fate's direction Sleep, put to sleep Choking tears of your rejection Deep, cut so deep I dreamt an end to your ascension
First upload of 2024, and it's a long one! This slow-building anthem is a tribute to the most honorable and accomplished warrior of Elden Ring's tarnished. The song describes Godfrey, The First Elden Lord's lust for battle and his respect for the warriors who gave him a fight to remember as he faces off with his final rival. For this song I also had the help of 139 lovely people from the discord server, coming together as a chorus of spectators! A huge thanks to everyone who participated, and to @fishpaste2100for mastering this track.
Lyrics:
For a time away I walked with the exiled and prayed For a conflict to call me back home To the champion's throne When the mountains quake There's strength left and glory to take A contender that stands in my path Here to tempt my wrath
When circled by vultures I keep my nerve still With honor and a blessing I conquered each thrill And though I had fallen I'll come roaring back again As claws are unleashing The rivals will dance Like songs of a ritual Across the expanse Of order in ruin And nothing but pride to defend
A crown for the victorious The battle will be glorious And they will call our names In the valley of the saints A test of strength to lay it bare Survivor takes the lion's share And tempers won't give way 'Til we've earned a hero's grave As the last one standing brave
No, I cannot not be caged Like the jaws of the apex's rage For our nature has left but one way To honor the pain Every chance to die Is inspiration to survive In a furious duet of blades Two stars on the stage
When circled by vultures I keep my nerve still With honor and a blessing I conquered each thrill And though I had fallen I'll come roaring back once again As claws are unleashing The rivals will dance Like songs of a ritual Across the expanse Of order in ruin And nothing but pride to defend
A crown for the victorious The battle will be glorious And they will call our names In the valley of the saints A test of strength to lay it bare Survivor takes the lion's share And tempers won't give way 'Til we've earned a hero's grave As the last one standing brave
The veil is torn A moment of truth For our sons and our daughters Is battle born The blood of the covenant Thicker than water Within the storm The lion meets your eyes A severance The splitting of fates And the passing of our own Remembrance The first and the last in a flurry of fists Bled in reverence So may the true king rise
About time, right? FROM Software got me again, and managed to make another stellar game with addictive combat. "Metal Won't Burn" attempts to Capture Armored Core 6's bleak and emotionless world, and reflects on a loss of humanity after being rebuilt so many times.
The adversaries priming Like wolves within the snow A consciousness is dying Too stubborn to let go
When the daylight comes for me I see what I am An alloyed extension Of invisible hands And yet I risk more than The credits I earn My soul is in ashes But metal won't burn
The raven in the updraft I soar on borrowed wings With heart beneath the construct A cobbled mess of strings Red echoes in the fracture Sing to my weary mind Protected by the rapture I'm one of my own kind
When the daylight comes for me I see what I am An alloyed extension Of invisible hands And yet I risk more than The credits I earn My soul is in ashes But metal won't burn
Wrapped within a soulless shelter I possess the dread of war Is there still a peace to enter Or are we guiding aimless cores Visions of a flame keep burning Broken but still not decayed Fueled by the blaze awakened Human eyes remain afraid
Sacrifice my embers Forge me better form Burn away remainders I am flesh no more No one has the answers So we all burn what came before For what the future has in store
Baldur's Gate 3.... What an experience of a lifetime that was. It's put itself up there among my favorite games of all time, and while it's tough to capture in song, I had to try. The toughest part is which campaign to take inspiration from, they're all so different! In the end, "Make Your Move" ended up being a sort of overall BG3-themed ballad about making the tough choices that change your path.
Lyrics: Pawns taken by the fates now In wreckage were reborn The death of past illusions With no place left to mourn A gathering of thunder A mind to fuel the storm With swords against invasion An undercurrent forms
But who can make the difference Are futures set in stone A band of wayward strangers can't stand up to gods alone So what must you become then To not lose who you are And would you stop before you went too far
Make your move and change it all Forevermore the odds may favor your endeavors Now don't fall back when you are Blinded by the shadowfall A guiding voice will always bind our hearts together You've got the chance so Make your move
A fragile institution Regarded absolute Its veil to be unraveled And plucked out at the root With stirring in the masses And not much still to gain Resistance sees no glory In underhanded games
But can you make the difference Are endings set in stone A band of wayward strangers can't stand up to gods alone So what could you become then But not lose who you are And will you stop before you go too far
Make your move and change it all Forevermore the odds may favor your endeavors Now don't fall back when you are Blinded by the shadowfall A guiding voice will always bind our hearts together You've got the chance so Make your move
What is the grand culmination Where does our victimhood lead When is the realization Who can still set our minds free Scattered across a long journey Choices we made leave their wake So what is the goal you will value When there's only one move to make
Happy H- er, Happy November! This was supposed to be a Halloween upload, but instead I finished it today! Number Nine is inspired by one of my favorite animated films, Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. The song centers on the character of Death, and his simple goal of hunting a resilient cat who has cheated him eight times already. Hard not to write a song about a villain this good.
One purpose doesn't always cut it Two tango to the grave and then there's Three chances that I'm gonna give you For the final warrant tendered Five seconds and your confidence is frozen Six, and you're already gone Seven deadly little sins that haunt you Eight, and it's just been too long
I'm the hunter Creeping under And I know you've seen my face before A deadly agent Now impatient So I can't ignore you anymore
Your bounty's far too prized I don't think you'll land on your feet this time Wasted each of your lives Now you're pushing the end of number nine 'Cause I think your indifference is a crime So I wanna remember number nine
One slice and it's your shattered ego Too ready to escape the dark Three trilogies of flaunting, what for? Death has got more bite than bark Five seconds and you've left yourself wide open Six, and the last dance is on Seven steps and I will leave you broken Eight, when I snuff out your song
Your bounty's far too prized I don't think you'll land on your feet this time Wasted each of your lives Now you're pushing the end of number nine 'Cause I think your indifference is a crime So I wanna remember number nine
Cold steel Waiting in darkness for the last meal Owed to the underworld in signed deal Forces your arrogance won't conceal All heroes have to die Blades talk Singing into the night where death walks No wish can save you when the wolf stalks I've got your number when your heart stops So much bravado for a lie
I'm all finished with the new album, Halfwolf, and now it's time to drop some lyric videos! First up from the album is "The Rot," an Elden Ring-inspired track from the perspective of Malenia, Blade of Miquella. It follows her embrace of the infection consuming her to accept an eventual new form as the Goddess of Rot.
(Wow there's a lot of lyrics in this one)
Lyrics: The poison in the cherry wine A state of death but trapped in time Afflicted with a nightmare's touch That mother could not cure A crimson promise kept to me And I cling to it carefully When battles fought could break my soul It whispers to endure
As flowers blow in southern winds They tell the tales of my own sin When I can't stop the fight I'm in And scarlet spreads once more
This is the pain that feeds The rot inside A poison and a creed My parasite I am changed but free And it strengthens me Still to survive So like a river flows I'll move along As the infection grows My heart beats strong I will thrive consumed As a midnight bloom Into the dawn
A killing blow from nature's wrath The detour on my divine path In fallout of the shattered The debtors are unpaid Misguided by the influence Of the last order's ignorance There's hope left in the bloodline still It slumbers far away
Beyond the mountains on the sea Lies kindred grace for Valkyries The wait for a homecoming It grows to countless days
This is the pain that feeds The rot inside A poison and a creed My parasite I am changed but free And it strengthens me Still to survive So like a river flows I'll move along As the infection grows My heart beats strong I will thrive consumed As a midnight bloom Into the dawn
So if I must wait forever For salvation or the grave I have bound my soul to vengeance And I've taken what I crave I will stop the interruptions Even if I lose my mind When the roaches come I'll crush them As I'm running out of time
Within the rot it seems There's a faint humanity That speaks to the affliction as it grows And all I have become In the years of growing numb Is perfect in the ways I've come to know
After playing Tears of the Kingdom, not only was I blown away by the entire game, but I was inspired to write several different songs about it. One Ganondorf idea pushed above all the rest though, since I can't resist villain songs.... Besides, what's better than a villain who inevitably comes back over and over again, as a natural force instead of a misguided soul? This is the Demon King's confident song of immortality, despite a few frustrating, similarly eternal roadblocks.
Lyrics: Bet you'd like to get the freak show started But my moves work slow There's a presence here that I've imparted Centuries ago When the chilling of the night first hits you Then you'll know I'm there You can try to have the legends fix you But you won't be spared Balance exists that calls through the abyss And in the chaos I create again
Go ahead Bury Me I will not stay dead Hold me down Take my breath I will thrive instead Cheat the game Break my stride You'll see me again Like the plague I will spread 'Cause I won't stay dead
'Cause I won't stay dead 'Cause I won't stay dead
Flaunting danger like your head is empty But I've watched and learned You look like you never did expect me As if tides don't turn I've been known to win out with my patience There's no cure for fear You must think it's your imagination 'Cause the devil's here Risen from bone as the spirits come home When I awake with a message to send
Go ahead Bury Me I will not stay dead Hold me down Take my breath I will thrive instead Cheat the game Break my stride You'll see me again Like the plague I will spread 'Cause I won't stay dead
'Cause I won't stay dead
You recall To the past And ascend This crevasse Fused with power Strong of will Guided hands Fail you still All your might Gone to waste I will strike Leave no trace None can rise In my stead So why can't you just stay dead
Just stay dead Stay dead 'Cause I won't stay dead Stay dead I will not stay dead
Go ahead Bury Me I will not stay dead Hold me down Take my breath I will thrive instead Cheat the game Break my stride You'll see me again Like the plague I will spread 'Cause I won't stay dead
'Cause I won't stay dead 'Cause I won't stay deadAviators - Hell Has an Elevator (Faith: The Unholy Trinity Song | Southern Alternative)Aviators2023-06-27 | Animated by @VitalSoundsMedia of @valestormstudios6747
Once again, this is a track inspired by the gloomy story of "Faith", and indie game trilogy focused on retro aesthetic and things that go bump in the night. "Hell Has an Elevator" takes inspiration from the third chapter, towards the end of renegade priest John's plight against unknowable demons and possessed horrors. Relying on only faith and a small golden crucifix, he begins to doubt his purpose and if he'll even live to see the morning...
A huge thanks to @VitalSoundsMedia for the incredible music video, and to @AirdorfGames for creating Faith's dark immersive tale.
Lyrics: Got a promise to keep now of my own Gonna walk through the fire and come back home Treading through the damnation of our kind 'Cause heaven's got a locked door I can't find
I can't preach to the darkness Without putting up a fight And I don't expect a savior So I've got to be the light I can't climb jacob's ladder Keep on landing on the ground But hell has an elevator So just send my body down
Thinking back to the bloodshed on my trail The damage Tried to stick to the scripture, but I have failed Abandoned Breaking bread with the sinners to survive Altogether 'Cause heaven's got a locked door I can't find Shut forever
I can't preach to the darkness Without putting up a fight And I don't expect a savior So I've got to be the light I can't climb jacob's ladder Keep on landing on the ground But hell has an elevator So just send my body down
Gonna choke on the sulfur I taste on my lips Seeing stars in the dark here beneath an eclipse Hard to wait for an answer when my belief slips There's something else here listening For the path I have walked comes a dangerous price I have searched for the truth with my own doubting eyes Can I live with the knowing when I realize Lucifer's star is twinkling My mind is scouring secrets Not any soul will tell Sometimes to face the demons You have to walk through hell
I feel like maybe this is an unsurprising choice of character to write about. In fact, I've been so torn up about the fact that I HAVEN'T written about Elden Ring's tribute to Guts that I just got up one day and named a whole upcoming EP after him. Inspired by the game's Ranni questline once again, "Halfwolf" is a farewell ballad from Blaidd as he realizes his fate; that his ties to the Golden Order would eventually cause him to betray his friends, no matter how much he loved them. He fought with them every step of the way, and even aided Ranni the Witch in her victory knowing her success would bring conflict and punishment for him. This song is Blaidd's declaration of love and loyalty to his adopted sister, as his own soul breaks within him.

More Elden Ring and other stories coming soon on the new Halfwolf - EP!
Lyrics:
Even if it's not forever We've together tread this path so far Wary of the will that made me Still you leave your trust within my scars Winterborn and forged strong Searching for centuries long Built for a dream like ours
Keep holding on for me I'll lift you as I break Torn to the smallest piece Half dreaming half awake Take my conflicted hands My heart will light your way Know me for what I am Half wolf and half afraid
Striving to control my instinct Terrified my nature won't obey I confess the burden's heavy Skies begin to change and soon I'll fade Don't take the risk on me I'll turn my tail and leave Before I lose my way
Keep holding on for me I'll lift you as I break Torn to the smallest piece Half dreaming half awake Take my conflicted hands My heart will light your way Know me for what I am Half wolf and half afraid
I can embrace the cold But I can't change my soul My nature still remains So long our quiet fight My battle ends tonight But our bond stays the same
When the voices Make my choices And I can't ignore the sound Without purpose I deserve this but I refuse to drag you down I will fail you I may hunt you I must try to In the end So conflicted I've resisted Tried to fix it Now I can't None can mend What I am
Keep holding on for me I'll lift you as I break Torn to the smallest piece Half dreaming half awake Carry on for the cause Spread light across these shores Remember who I was Half wolf, forever yours
Finally getting around to uploading the OTHER Elden Ring song! This appeared last year on Modern Mythology after I had finished Elden Ring wound up completing the game for the first time by the side of Ranni The Witch, conquering for the glory of a cold dark moon. Ranni's story unravels slowly and subtly, most of it completely unseen to me the first time I looted an item off of her sacrificed body or heard her voice call to protect her own mother. She's a reluctant goddess, a powerful being who pulled strings across thousands of years to undermine her father's godhood, and yet still a lost child in search of friends to watch the end of the world as she knows it. This song hopes to capture a piece of her bittersweet story throughout the course of Elden Ring.
Lyrics:
Where life as an unwilling angel starts I end Forgive my intrusion but grace is won With friends I'll upturn the roots that withhold this Shattered place In cold absolution I carve My unbound face
Mother have you lost your way The skies are crumbling as I pray Shine moonlight from where you are To guide me by the falling stars
Through golden oblivion I have held So far And died for traversal beyond the place We are I've cut the soul out of my chest to Heal this land I'll sever the fingers to let go of These hands
Mother have you lost your way The skies are crumbling as I pray Shine moonlight from where you are To guide me by the falling stars
My father's blood boils in my veins For I have forsaken our name To tarnish the glow of his golden order Forgive me for what I have done The catalyst I have become To birth a dark moon as these lands grow colder
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! I've 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 I'll 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 destiny's purpose In each of our homes We've all got our battles But no one's 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 We're searching together Starved for that break from the fight Swords losing sharpness To angels and darkness These soldiers push on through the mire Now we're all faced with the ending The burn before mending A vision to let there be fire
Spotify and others should be live in a couple days!
I'm pleased to be back with even more Halloween music, in fact a whole EP of it! "Scarlet Vow" tells the story of a village girl who escaped a sentence to be burned at the stake, only to return to that town the very next October to pass a judgement of her own.
Scared off all the townsmen with a question as to why We must avoid the night and say a prayer before we die "There's structure in tradition" cried the minister with rage While burning every book that carries magic on the page Said you'd set her right with god and tried to teach her how Told her be a good girl well she's stronger than you now Casting off the shackles to reject her given name The one who burns the witches always ends up in the flame
Lock your doors She's coming back even out the score Vengeful spirits do her dark commands In the devil's hands Now the fire's in her breath Scarlet vow Taken by the girl who you cast out You're not the only one with chants to sing Or a prayer to bring But her patron saint is death
In the night there's howling but there's silence from the pack The cold wind carries something that alludes to an attack She's here to light the matches with a new enchanted form Taking her own action so the victim is reborn Holding out their crosses at the edges of the town Believed your faith protected but she's here to burn you down Pray your final whispers and reflect upon your guilt The monster you created will end everything you've built
Lock your doors She's coming back even out the score Vengeful spirits do her dark commands In the devil's hands Now the fire's in her breath Scarlet vow Taken by the girl who you cast out You're not the only one with chants to sing Or a prayer to bring But her patron saint is death
Took a while to get this first single out, but hopefully it was worth it! I've been working on a little Halloween project this year titled "The Twist At The End - EP" releasing next Friday the 28th of October! Soon I'll be providing you with even more spooky tunes to keep you in the season's spirit. First off, "Trick Me" is a fun tango about being asked to dance with a mischievous and powerful witch who has come out on Halloween night to play a few tricks.

Lyrics:
Betwixt the carnival angels You rose from a strange hell And entered the stage Took souls wherever your eyes met But you've not begun yet The true masquerade I've never seen an enigma such as you Took my heart with a spell and now I'm doomed Stuck in trance with a wicked force exhumed
Fearless dancer Veiled in dark Paraded by your mystery With no answer I'm bewitched You've got the moves to trick me
Like an omen of the end times The devil's own part time Cursed paramour What could one want with a lowlife Brought close to the hot knife Deep in the obscure I've never seen an enigma such as you Took my heart with a spell and now I'm doomed Stuck in trance with a wicked force exhumed
Fearless dancer Veiled in dark Paraded by your mystery With no answer I'm bewitched You've got the moves to trick me
You took a risk for me I'll solve your mystery You've made the watchers in the background fade away Surround me with your thorns Show me unholy scorn Up from a standstill to a hedonist buffet I don't think you scare me In this place So are you gonna dare me Kick the pace Up to a fevered tempo To embrace The magic as we let go For a deathblow
After all this time, we're back in the familiar territory of the Bleeding Sun story. Functioning as a spiritual successor and distant prequel to Godhunter, "My Church" takes a look at the rise of a charming southern cult leader who starts with a small following and slowly corrupts and entrances them with promises of salvation in the end times. Obsessed with his visions of the future and dreams of ruling the ashes after a coming war, no cost is too great to build The Elder's promised congregation.

Lyrics: Wild fire calls me to the madness that I seek We've seen bold things that our storied hearts will keep Who am I to deny the ascension of man When I alone could bring it on with my healing hands Don't mourn what's left in the burning states behind You've come this far if you've opened up your mind To a new rebirther So take it one step further
Where the rivers meet the coming red tide I got miracles for those on my side In the willows I built my steeple My spirit, my church, my people Newfound faith that's vested in me Now our bloody hands will heal the unclean In the wastes I raise my steeple My spirit, my church, my people
Some say we're doomed in the heart of our belief Death stilled their lips and maintained the peace we keep Now I've seen in a dream that I'm destined for a throne Once I've conquered the cage of this flesh and bone Accept what's kept in reaches of your soul Cut off your will and leave the guilt you hold Give it all to the rebirther Let's take it one step further
Where the rivers meet the coming red tide I got miracles for those on my side In the willows I built my steeple My spirit, my church, my people Newfound faith that's vested in me Now our bloody hands will heal the unclean In the wastes I raise my steeple My spirit, my church, my people
My church, yeah My steeple My church, yeah My people
No, I've come too far To give up on faith When it's all my own creation Bow down, face to the floor I can heal you soon When you've blurred your mind's foundation
It's too late for the rest now But it's never too late for you I'll share the truth The end will come and take us And the sun will bleed us dry My church renewed As promised soon
Where the rivers meet the coming red tide I got miracles for those on my side In the willows I built my steeple My spirit, my church, my people Newfound faith that's vested in me Now our bloody hands will heal the unclean In the wastes I raise my steeple My spirit, my church, my people
Wow, if there's ever been an exception to the rule that video game adaptations have to be terrible, it's Arcane. This show has perhaps become my favorite of all time, and I was greatly inspired to write a song about Jinx and her charmingly edgy state of mind. This show also inspired me to play the game, but that's a story for another time. Mistakes were made.

Lyrics: I think I've lost my way A long vacation Like a rat that holds the plague The infestation We all got bloody hands While playing blackjack You live a life on chance You get your payback
I need a little help sometimes to listen to myself From someone else I can't believe I came so far surviving in this shame Am I to blame? I'm not, shut up, shut up
Welcome to the freak show Thought the odds were equal Roulette in my head keeps rolling on Let the bloody streets flow Nothing holds a candle To the rapid fire of my own gun Maybe psycho Push me and you might go Over in a blaze of arcane blue Stop me if I ramble I'll come take a gamble for you 'Cause you need a little bad luck baby
A new ghost in the house The city's haunted I never crossed the line But I like feeling wanted Foundations wash away The pain I tasted Now you'll love the game we play But your luck is wasted
I need a little hurt sometimes to keep me who I am To give a damn I came back with my shattered soul to find a better way Now who's to say Now who's to say
Welcome to the freak show Thought the odds were equal Roulette in my head keeps rolling on Let the bloody streets flow Nothing holds a candle To the rapid fire of my own gun Maybe psycho Push me and you might go Over in a blaze of arcane blue Stop me if I ramble I'll come take a gamble for you 'Cause you need a little bad luck baby
I need a little help sometimes to listen to myself From someone else From someone else I couldn't find the words to say I miss you more than peace So save me please Come save me please You taught me how to hate the world itself, well lucky me But am I free? Now am I free?
So welcome to the freak show Thought the odds were equal Roulette in my head keeps rolling on Let the bloody streets flow Nothing holds a candle To the rapid fire of my own gun Maybe psycho Push me and you might go Over in a blaze of arcane blue Stop me if I ramble I'll come take a gamble for you 'Cause you need a little bad luck babyAviators - Painkiller (Helluva Boss Song | Synth Rock)Aviators2022-06-16 | (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE)
I've been wanting to make a song about Helluva Boss for a while now, and doing an album about monsters seemed like as good an excuse as any. The biggest reason though is that it's currently one of my favorite shows of all time, and I simply can't get enough. One of my favorite dynamics in the dysfunctional world of the show is the afterlife marriage of Millie and Moxxie, which inspired this particular song. It ponders Moxxie's perspective as a clumsy and conflicted demon, appreciating his deadly partner in sin.

Lyrics:
I deserve to be here But no one could deserve you You're an intervention A hallucination of truth When I need a fix-up I feel you in my veins You're the spark I needed To start a whole new flame
Straight into my heart I am blown apart Like a bullet to my brain You tear the world away and When it goes to shit I can take a hit 'Cause you're here keeping me sane A spirit like a storm With you I'm reborn At the bottom of the chain It starts to look like heaven Cut and bleed me dry Take another life You're the killer of my pain
Ripped apart by something Inside me left from those days Walking with the earthbound I'd rather be in your gaze You're the one elixir Laced with the sickness I need And I'm gonna take you When my affliction bleeds
Straight into my heart I am blown apart Like a bullet to my brain You tear the world away and When it goes to shit I can take a hit 'Cause you're here keeping me sane A spirit like a storm With you I'm reborn At the bottom of the chain It starts to look like heaven Cut and bleed me dry Take another life You're the killer of my pain
Risking life I will never let go Never let go And while you're kicking ass I'll be there kicking too Through the blood and strife We will do what we know Do what we know Like a rose's thorns On your hellbound horns My thriller Painkiller I'll let you in to cure me Even if it's gonna hurt me
Straight into my heart I am blown apart Like a bullet to my brain You tear the world away and When it goes to shit I can take a hit 'Cause you're here keeping me sane A spirit like a storm With you I'm reborn At the bottom of the chain It starts to look like heaven Cut and bleed me dry Take another life You're the killer of my painAviators - Teeth (Beastars Song | Synth Pop)Aviators2022-05-20 | (EXPLICIT LANGAUGE)
Now available on Modern Mythology. Find this song on the platform of your choice! fanlink.to/modernmythology
This latest album gave me a chance to do some new things, so I got decided to try a funky synthpop style when I found some inspiration while watching Beastars. The song is a struggle of desire for Legoshi the wolf, who lives in a civil society experiencing the local dating scene while also hiding his instinctual carnivorous desires. The lyrics ended up a bit, uh, explicit, so fair warning.

Can't stop to think about it Slave to the brain I doubted Feels like a struggle in my tortured body Seized up I stop and stammer Make me forget my manners But I've got warning if you think you want me You smack the sense out of me Redder than dirty money I'm not a monster but you make me wonder Put in a blaze of fury Eyes kind of getting blurry Making me want to roar like thunder
Maybe it's the moonlight Mixed with carnal insight Violent but it feels right You make me come unsheathed Like I'm a weapon Born and bred to threaten 'Cause when it feels like heaven I wanna bare my teeth
I can't escape the feeling Your eyes just left me reeling Lonely and gentle like I just might hurt you Wrapped in all mixed emotions Done going through the motions Who gives a fuck if we could let my claws loose Cinematic thrills of dating We'll get a hard R rating Done up and fancy for a horror showdown Too much love too inhibit Hungry like nature's own exhibit You wondered often but you'll know now
Maybe it's the moonlight Mixed with carnal insight Violent but it feels right You make me come unsheathed Like I'm a weapon Born and bred to threaten 'Cause when it feels like heaven I wanna bare my teeth
You put my head in the zone So come on throw me a bone Say you can take it Now can you take it Fucked in the head but I'm in here I know you're thrilled by the fear Here's our solution Natural solution The apex versus the prey My fangs don't get in the way But I can't promise I won't be too hasty We've got the time for it all You make it impossible To keep together when you look so tasty
Maybe it's the moonlight Mixed with carnal insight
Maybe it's the moonlight Mixed with carnal insight Violent but it feels right You make me come unsheathed Like I'm a weapon Born and bred to threaten 'Cause when it feels like heaven I wanna bare my teeth
You make me wanna show my teeth You make me wanna show my teethAviators - Into The Black (Berserk Song | Dark Alternative)Aviators2022-05-06 | Check out this song on my album Modern Mythology! fanlink.to/modernmythology
Finally, a chance to give tribute to the reluctant hero that started it all. Conflicted and cursed, the black swordsman laments the betrayal of Griffith, a newborn demigod who was once his loyal friend. On his journey into darkness he must choose between keeping his spirit intact and using his hate to fuel his strength.
Above all, this song is a love letter to Kentaro Miura. Without your world of dark fantasy and unique vision, most of my songs would never have come to be. Rest in peace.

Lyrics:
Walking the crossroads of hell on earth A devil's deal for a new rebirth I've given my all and day by day My soul still breaks I can remember crossing the line When ushered into a darker time Though we were in agony You left me in your wake
When I curse your name Can you see my face And do you taste my pain In this bloodstained place Forever on the attack I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you Will my scars reveal All the sins you chose And how betrayed I feel In my fractured bones For us there's no turning back I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you
Still hanging on for white hawk's fall When vengeance comes and I heed the call With every time I plunge the steel I'm seeing you You once had used my desire to kill Granted me hope with a quiet thrill I watched as you changed the world around me Cut in two
When I curse your name Can you see my face And do you taste my pain In this bloodstained place Forever on the attack I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you Will my scars reveal All the sins you chose And how betrayed I feel In my fractured bones For us there's no turning back I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you Without you
When I curse your name Can you see my face And do you taste my pain In this bloodstained place Forever on the attack I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you Will my scars reveal All the sins you chose And how betrayed I feel In my fractured bones For us there's no turning back I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you
I guess I gambled and lost when fate shuffled our decks Now that I suffer the wrath of your mad god complex As I follow the path where the darkness collects So much death, what for, what for, what for? Though I am losing control I can't give up the chase No time for mourning the loss of what hatred replaced There lies barely a soul behind my changing face I will break no more, no more, no more
When I curse your name Can you see my face And do you taste my pain In this bloodstained place Forever on the attack I'm fighting into the black Without you Without you Will my scars reveal All the sins you chose And how betrayed I feel In my fractured bones For us there's no turning back I'm fighting into the black Without you Without youAviators - We Rise (Elden Ring Song | Symphonic Rock)Aviators2022-04-08 | Check out this song on my album Modern Mythology! fanlink.to/modernmythology

Wow, what a game. I've been waiting for Elden Ring for a long time, and not JUST so I could write songs about it... Yet it didn't disappoint in the slightest. The Soulsborne style of storytelling has inspired me once again, this time with a powerful anthem of perseverance in a world abandoned by divine will. More music will be coming soon, with this song appearing on Modern Mythology releasing May 6th!

Lyrics:
To dawn We've gone Adrift with the resolve to carry on When the climb is steep And the days are long We rise All rise Our fight Burns bright From filth we ascend to the tree of life The lowly empowered in faith unite We rise All rise
So far We are The hope scattered among the fallen stars The last note played on an old guitar But we rise All rise With hearts Of thorns We're matched with the will of the royal born To stave off the fall of a house that's torn We rise All rise
We will die again Where the oceans end Over and over In the dragon's fire We will testify Shoulder to shoulder In the lands between Spirits sharp and clean Mused with a purpose Through the scarlet mist For the maidenless We rise unburdened again We rise again
We bled Instead Of giving ourselves to the void of death Accepting the power for a final breath We rise All rise To yearn And burn With frenzy and flame to the rights we've earned In face of the falsehoods and secrets learned We rise All rise
Though some of us won't make it back We're following into the black Unknown for a long lost throne We rise again Where others might look for escape These lights in the dark search for grace Once lost To a blood-soaked cause We will rise Through battlefields scarred by the gods We're striving no matter the odds When nothing can hold back the tide We rise, we rise, we rise All rise
Though graceless and exiled We're loyal the same Returning to roots through the Worst of our pain When kings rise against Have it writ on their grave The old gods were felled By a mortal unnamed
Happy Halloween! The holiday always seems especially important on this channel where so many of the songs bring in our favorite monsters, demons, and various supernatural happenings. In the case of "Haunting Kind of High", a story is told of a hopelessly addicted man that has tried every drug in search of a feeling he can't seem to find. In his desperation for further bliss, he begins to strike deals with demons to satiate himself with the power of their blood and soon the otherworldly forces in his veins consume him. Musically, this one treads in some weird territory, but it was a lot of fun!
Lyrics:
I've been feeling kind of down Feeling like I'm going to drown Guess I think I need a new fixation Need experimental eyes Just to feel the other side And experience a close sensation You know, this earthly world gets lonely I want a surreal trip to haunt me
We're all just searching for that lasting mental spark When it hits you know it sticks And then your soul has hit its mark Ascending from this plane to walk along the sky But you need the supernatural For that haunting kind of high
Delve a little in the deep Grab a piece of hell to keep Wanna creep into a new dimension Warm possession by the fire Now it gets my spirit higher And my mind embraces the connection
Fill my psychoactive mind Bullet proof and armor lined Make me stronger, hold me closer Make me shine Leave a whisper in my brain Take the pressure take the pain This nirvana makes me wanna Go insane Take my being out of bounds Show me what the dead have found I can feel the rush just behind me Make me feel a spectral love It's a wicked potent drug With it you could make my blood almighty
I need the haunting kind of high That makes me feel alive The haunting kind of high Like you're never gonna die The haunting kind of high The devils dropping by The mortal spirit's cry Like the fire in your eyesAviators - Zombie (Rock | The Cranberries Cover)Aviators2021-09-18 | Download this song and lots of awesome new stuff on my new remix EP, "Hymns of the Dark"! soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-of-the-dark-ep
I'm far from the first to cover this song, but I've always loved it so much and felt like I'd like to give it my own spin. Like "Holding Out For A Hero" on last year's remix release, I look this new remix EP as an excuse to take the challenge!
Check out the whole release for more, including remixes from some friends of mine!
Lyrics:
Another head hangs lowly Child is slowly taken And the violence, caused such silence Who are we mistaken? But you see, it's not me It's not my family In your head, in your head, they are fighting With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head they are crying
In your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie What's in your head, in your head Zombie, zombie, zombie, oh
Another mother's breaking Heart is taking over When the violence causes silence We must be mistaken It's the same old theme Since nineteen-sixteen In your head, in your head, they're still fighting With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head, they are dyingAviators - Summon The Choir (Bloodborne Song | Synth Rock)Aviators2021-09-02 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/summon-the-choir
In keeping with Dreams of the Deep's cosmic horror theme, "Summon The Choir" is a tale from the world of Bloodborne, recounting Master Willem and his troupe's discovery and use of the Old Blood that would bring unknowable power and begin The Nightmare. In his youth and foolishness he felt himself unstoppable, only to find his mind trapped forever in madness. Remixes of Dreams of the Deep will be coming soon on "Hymns of the Dark - EP" releasing September 17th!
Thanks to @ABluSkittle for another incredible art piece!
Lyrics: Here we're frenzied by the illusion We're dying for a transfusion A cure to kill the virus in our midst
This city needs a savior Healed by the church's favor Experimental taste of moonlight's bliss
First blood From cosmic wonders A dark flood Of power from under Congregate and we begin the recovery Praise be The gods have fallen Fear me And heal the rotten Summon the choir for we've made a discovery
Now the surgery is complete And mortality is defeated The needles grant the power in our veins
Brought by the holy hunters Old ones and dreams of thunder A sacrifice within the flames
Though the treatments take their toll I've changed the human soul This is power beyond control Sing for newly granted eyes And dreams now realized For the righteous and divineAviators - Wartorn (Crusader Kings Song | Celtic Punk)Aviators2021-07-24 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/wartorn
Back to finishing up the last album here before we get onto the remixes very soon! This song is a tribute to my love of Celtic rock and the epic adventures of my (failed) reign in Crusader Kings III. "Wartorn" tells the tale of a proud and mighty kingdom, that while small, raised an army so passionate they would sing of each victory before it was won.
The artwork is by the incredible @ABluSkittle !
Lyrics:
With strength like the Atlantic wind We ready for a storm The call to rise as champions Starts where our kingdom's born With iron on our battered skin And anger in our bones We'll die to serve this petty crown Protect this fragile throne
Set your eyes On the fire in the sky Seems the war is neverending 'Til the true king sits on high Our birthright Taken swiftly in the night We write history as immortals May our nation never die
Blood spilled on these clover fields Will run into the sea Where we will take the reaches back With brave camaraderie Though brethren low have fallen We have will to carry on To build up on the ashes of Old lies and broken bonds
We put our fear away We heal after the break And announce our victory We claim this land as ours We fight under the stars To embrace this destiny
What a weird game this one is, yet I found myself extremely immersed and dove in to Risk of Rain 2's hellish planet for dozens of hours. It doesn't have a traditional story to play through, but instead every time you die you're back to the start and your journey will never be the same. Along this repeating experience of death the world and its origin are carefully revealed, all while increasing the dread that survival is only for the moment. "We Evolve" was born of that desperation, and the thrilling feeling of staying alive against the impossible.

Lyrics:
The noise has settled down Before the storm arises A never ending climb No road to run away We're scared to keep on fighting We're running out of time
Fractured skies and acid rain We are sent unknown Temples high in trails of pain For a moonlit throne
The hourglass avails So haste must beat temptation The dream we're living out Is not imagination Across a living tomb We fight wholly outnumbered To swiftly face our doom And face the cosmic thunder
Fractured skies and acid rain We are sent unknown Temples high in trails of pain For a moonlit throne
Take a look across the hordes If you don't trust me Our nightmares will evolve And so must we
The chemicals They settle in The atmosphere Breaches my skin And there is not one ally left alive This time, this time The planet's wrath A natural will Against the test Adapted skill When the odds overwhelm us we surviveAviators - Can You Hear It? (Lovecraft Song | Alternative Rock)Aviators2021-05-08 | Listen to this song on my new album, Dreams of the Deep! fanlink.to/DotD soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/can-you-hear-it
Thanks to @ABluSkittle for some of his most beautifully foreboding artwork yet!
Back to Dreams of the Deep for a moment before we move on to new content! There's a still a few I haven't shared on the channel yet and this one definitely needed the YouTube treatment. "Can You Hear It" describes a rather rapid onset of insanity from the faint scratches in the walls and the dark history of a new heir's ancestral home. Based heavily on H.P. Lovecraft's "The Rats in the Walls". (quick tip: all of his stories are available for free online thanks to expired copyrights)
Lyrics: Born of the darkness From granted eyes beyond Dreams of the deep mist They hide a scratching song There's a primal fear That death is near Writhing now in wait Am I past the veil Consciousness failing I hear a wicked fate
Can you hear it? Can you hear it? The tolls of madness ringing Do you fear it? Do you fear it? An ancient choir is singing All consuming Calling to me In a dream, it's a thorn I can't dig out Can't you hear it too? If you listen close now
Lulled to the madness I have seen what I can't know Glimpsed at a nightmare To fester and to grow In this empty home Of flesh and bone A presence left unseen Laying awake in bed My hollowed head will Call back through the dream
I feel it humming deep inside the walls The dark vibrations Whispered acts unspeakable, horrible, reachable, audible I'm pressured to awaken my own sight To generations Ancient ones malevolent, reckoning, pestilent, beckoningAviators - Black Roses (Rock Ballad)Aviators2021-03-04 | You can grab this song and the whole new album on the site of your choice by clicking here! fanlink.to/DotD
Black Roses is a weirdly anthemic song about death and the inevitability of the end for all things. For this track I had the help of nearly 70 fans singing on the chorus with me! A huge thanks goes out to them for lending an important sound to this song.

Lyrics:
Children joyful dancing in the sun With a blissful ignorance of what's to come When the guardsmen start to struggle And the barriers give way We're broken and we wither in the fray
We are husks Alive but barely breathing Sometimes we pull ourselves together But our efforts fade away We are dust Crumbling by the moment We try to push away the ending And black roses fall the same
Running off afraid of what's to come When you're facing down the barrel of the lawman's gun But the saints have learned the secret And the rebels know the same We're killing just to bury our remains
Preludes of every stanza End on repeating notes A tale of woe and sadness Chorus of silent throats We try and keep a memory Transcribing every line But when they turn to ashes We perish slaves to time Burned out on borrowed moments Used up like cigarettes We feel our time expiring But it's not over yet Each finds a meager purpose Though our cold grave awaits We face the morbid beauty Of our collective fate
We are flawed Chained to the laws of nature I guess we'll have to teach each other To leave legends to our names
We are husks Alive but barely breathing Sometimes we pull ourselves together But our efforts fade away We are dust Crumbling by the moment We try to push away the ending And black roses fall the sameAviators - Dreams of the Deep (Call of Cthulhu Song | NEW ALBUM)Aviators2021-02-19 | You can grab the new album on
At long last, and after a couple little delays, Dreams of the Deep is finished! The album takes inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft stories and many other sources, and puts it all together for a wild journey into madness. The title track itself is a tribute to "The Call of Cthulhu" and its surrounding mythos. The track embodies a slow discovery of a terrifying reality and coming doom, and the following journey by ship into the ocean to find answers.

Lyrics:
Enshrined By an ocean divine Waiting for the truth to come alive Before your own accursed eyes The call The end of it all Death lingers endlessly below Awaiting mankind's fall
It comes at last From ages past The madness below Beyond all that we know Will arise Nightmares foretold From days of old The secrets we keep And the dreams of the deep Realized
The end Of the sane world of men Now I question all that I have seen I this is a spectre or a dream Embraced By those with the taste For insight forgotten long ago Of futures laid to waste
And in the waves we wander Searching for our end Now our vessel's going under And an epitaph is penned With the sunken gateway opened Soon the sea reclaims And when the dark has spoken We will know its cursed nameAviators - To The Grave (Demons Souls Song | Symphonic Rock)Aviators2021-02-09 | Find this song on the platform of your choice: fanlink.to/DotD
What an adventure it was to go back to Demon's Souls after its community had dwindled so greatly and the servers were taken offline. The remake brought SO much life back into a universe I love, and I was inspired to write a song in tribute once again. This is also the second single from Dreams of the Deep, my new album coming soon on February 19th!

Lyrics:
Deep in the mist I can feel something there A touch of the soul like the wind in your hair There's a light in the dark but it's just so far away While we storm heaven's gates And we heal our mistakes The fear could take us over But we heal in the light And we gather our might To find our spirit's closure
So we fall again We come together When the pieces fall apart They last forever With a prayer to fill our hearts And to keep us brave Our eternity A circle holding us between The threads of life This cursed reality Has doomed us with new purpose As spirits bound in service to the grave
Where some wander aimless and some quest for more In traces of kingdoms, the ruins of before We consider the cost And we're fighting to survive While we cross through the rift Our ethereal gift Will leave us shells no longer With the whispers in mind Of the demon inside We end our failures stronger
Something has eclipsed this land Covered by an unseen hand Suddenly in death we've found another kind of life Trodden under kings and queens We inherit greater means Power of the souls, now repurposed for our plight Demons from an ancient time Rise up from the filth and grime Soon we face the storm, but in numbers we stand strong Blessed with a kiss from the unholy light To get up when we miss and after we've died The battle will be ours, but the war is fighting on
So we rise again We stand together Like million lights aflame They burn forever With a song to guide us home And to keep us sane For eternity We're searching onward In the afterlife of Earth Our bones in ashes But we fight it all in wonder And we'll face it with each other to the graveAviators - Outside (Bloodborne Song | Gothic Rock)Aviators2021-01-19 | Find this song on the platform of your choice: fanlink.to/DotD
A hunter's work is never done.
Returning to the dark streets of Bloodborne, my new single "Outside" captures the tragic plight of Gilbert, the man in the window. Isolated in his room due to his sickness, he slowly feels his body transforming and his mind becoming weak. In his last days, a lone hunter arrives at his window to give him hope that maybe at last the nightmare will end.
This single comes from my upcoming album, "Dreams of the Deep" arriving on February 19th. More fantasy and sci-fi songs are on the way! The original teased release date for the album was December 2020, but that proved to be unreachable. Ignore the Bandcamp teaser (whoops)!
It is my own home's affliction Behind bars within a cage I've been marked the plague's possession And I've been locked in for days There's a ruckus in the streets Those I begged to stay inside Soon the noise gives way to silence For a moonlit lullaby Oh my mind, Oh my mind, Thoughts are fleeting all the time I feel bones begin to splinter As my fever starts to climb Who's to blame, Who's to blame For the blood that wrought this shame Now my ears have started ringing To a symphony of pain
My blood's contagion Brings transformation But all I want before the doom Is to see the streets outside this room Don't leave me waiting My lantern's fading And I won't be awake to see The monster that becomes of me Let me see the sky one last time Come home and take me outside
The new beast is isolation When I'm haunting my own home I feel my walls closing inward And my soul leaves me alone Here I struggle in the darkness To remember my own name I've caught glimpses through the window That the world is not the same Flesh and bone Hunger's grown Cries become an endless drone I fear soon I'll be the hunted Like the multitudes below Someone's there Someone's there Night is coming and I'm scared Starving wolves outside are howling And I join them in their prayer
Dark signs Flashing in my Cold mind Succumbing now with no time Left to cure the pain Pale and Clawing blindly Life still Clinging tightly But my own blood has been claimedAviators - The Man in the Chair (4EverfreeBrony Remix | Rock)Aviators2020-11-14 | Check out this remix and more on The Reimagined Future!

Lyrics:
When you're crowded out by freedom's price And you take a shred of bad advice The system knows but you're kept underground When you can't afford a flight to Mars When you're never born to touch the stars The endless maze of concrete wears you down Can you theorize our better lives Where the grass is green on the other side We'd compromise and find a way to thrive If you're scared of being left behind Then you'd be so disturbed with dreams like mine The realization that our world's alive
Control comes cheap But nothing is fair They wake you from sleep But nobody's there You walk among sheep And that's why you're scared You'll never be the man in the chair
Take your medicine and swallow down All the bitterness that built this town Don't let him hear you start to criticize You know this array was rigged to fail When you fall apart then you can't bail To find a place of safety in the sky Light a signal flare and find a way Out of coerced androids on parade Assimilation comes or else we die When we worry still and break the rules Then our consciences will make us fools And you always end up the system's slave
When you are not enough to make it They've taken off and left you naked Like they did long ago to me But now I'm free They cut you out and tore the sutures Out of the cinematic future To shine with or without To silence doubt You know the shadows like I do We're driven by what we've been through And now we fall on the sword We'll never be the chosen kings We'll never know the finer things But we can open up the doorAviators - Slasher (Techno Cinema Remix | Dark Alternative)Aviators2020-10-31 | Happy Halloween everyone! I'm happy to announce to you that a new alternate version of this year's "The Cinematic Future" is available now! The Reimagined Future can be found on Bandcamp and is coming soon to Spotify and other platforms: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/the-reimagined-future
This track was on the original album but has been given new life by the incredible @TechnoCinemaMusic! As a spooky tale of murder and madness, I found it fitting for this most haunting of holidays. This version has extra cinematic flair and even more horror-inspired intensity than the original, which can be found here: youtube.com/watch?v=NW5ml2pHA2s
Lyrics:
Unearthed and trapped within the conflict The strings behind the scene Set to consume like selfish addicts The envy turns us green Our eyes shift up to one more face Out of place and Nightmares of murder and cold steel Become real
Knives out We're going down Just like a slasher It's a massacre Bloodstains On holy ground Here's your happy ever after
Starved out in dust to make a killing For shares that we won't see Our minds feel hate and flesh is willing We hurt what lies between One second passes and you're gone Our weapons drawn but Somehow these kills won't make us whole We've sold our souls
Alive for The weekend We're walled in To contend One could imply it's by design But nothing's left, I'm taking mine As nature rolls back time Destruction The horror To blame on The scorers They sit atop and watch the game Where no one wins and gets the claim 'Cause we all fall the sameAviators - Holding Out For A Hero (Synthwave | Bonnie Tyler Cover)Aviators2020-10-20 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/holding-out-for-a-hero-2
Oh man, I think I've wanted to cover this song as long as I've been making music. As a beautiful anthem of 80's cheese, I couldn't resist. This single is a new cover on the upcoming retro remix album "The Reimagined Future" coming very soon on October 30th!

Lyrics:
Where have all the good men gone And where are all the Gods? Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn And I dream of what I need
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Larger than life
Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It's gonna take a Superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life
Up where the mountains meet the Heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone, somewhere Watching me Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain And the storm, and the flood I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood (Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood) (Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my oh, oh)
I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than lifeAviators - Glow (Anthem Rock)Aviators2020-04-21 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/glow

Harking back to the fighting spirit of albums like "Building Better Worlds", "Glow" brings a rebellious anthem of the people to a futuristic world of total authority and oppression. After all, at the end of peace and civilization itself, sometimes all that's left is to burn it to the ground and start anew. To enhance the camaraderie and unity of this track, I had over 55 fans join me in singing the chorus of the song! Thanks to each and every one of you who helped give this song the extra "punch" that it needed.
Watch as the sky Starts to ignite Inhale the passion of the flame Loosen the gears Wipe off your tears Turn to the players of the Greatest game The hall of fame We're facing our fears Two hundred years We have been waiting for the turn Trust and obey Emperors say But they forget that we Live and learn Our furies burn
Hold on We're building new foundations On whatever's left When we reject the nation Of hate In its vulnerable state When will they learn? False words, no cares When our world burns Light up And fight the fire with fire When all else has failed We fuel the blazes higher Tonight Set the system alight What do they know? Rise up and Make this city glow
Holding a match We're going to catch Up to the first place after all Never to miss Born to resist Against the cracks within Prison wall The firefall Cult of the style Spanning for miles Refuse to roll back to the reign Cut all the ties Suffocate lies Loosen the grip of all the Colder days Before the blaze
Arrange The swirling winds of change When life keeps getting stranger They've had their time now We will take the reigns
Arise March on with brand new eyes Take back their power To confuse The lives they've used A storm The future's getting warm So we'll keep burning What we built To show their guiltAviators - The Red Hood (Dark Souls Song | Symphonic Alternative)Aviators2020-04-05 | You can find this song on my bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/masks-ep
Let's rewind a bit, shall we? "The Red Hood" is a track from last year's "Masks" release, and since it never got a proper video done I figure now is the time! The song is about Slave Knight Gael from The Ringed City DLC of Dark Souls 3. From his own perspective, it details his struggles to reach the end of the world in search for power and purpose. In the game, he's really no different than the player... But he found the Dark Soul first.

Lyrics:
When once, long ago I was worn down and abused The strongest took the spoils And then we fell at their shoes But now they are gone And my sanity's kept by my chains So I bear them both in faith and hate For family and all that remains
Fight, to ignite Not for gods nor the coming of night If I'm the last of the men to fall Then this warrior's growing in might For fear and for love And survival when push comes to shove The red hood is coming to take you home The bearer of soul and of light
Old kings will fade When the last of the light's fading too The castles long have fallen And the paintings faded blue So here now you stand We are human yet both something new The last prize has been taken Now the red hood faces you
Here in the ashes Balanced and whole I endlessly hunger For power of soul At the end of all the ages In the last of my crusades You're the red hood's last contender And the first one unafraid I'm regretful to have hurt you But this world's blood must be spilled I'll return home as a monster From the bad dream that I've killedAviators - The Cinematic Future (Synth Rock)Aviators2020-03-18 | Get this song and the whole new album on:
"The Cinematic Future" is the title track of my latest album, bringing us to a grim but colorful world in the year 2220, where laws have failed and the world's last societies begin to collapse. Times are changing, and all that matters now is survival. This song presents a "last stand" and a necessary embrace of chaos in the future ahead. Artwork is by @ABluSkittle .

Lyrics:
Brightly in a sea of light The spotlight of a neon life Is only shining for tonight To spread across our culture's blight Infected with envy And restless for a change of scene Keep your eyes on the screen
The storm has come And life will never be the same No rules or heroes The only savior is your name Fight the darkest nights The only story's what you write Trust the age of dust There's no more honor 'til you die
Welcome to The world that waits for you Where the first one to the dollar Is the last one left alive The bright divide Shining a spectrum wide Into the cinematic future Are you ready to survive?
Headstrong in a deadly race The righteous never make first place Pandora's opened unto us The towers slowly turn to dust New chaos roams these streets So human, and spreading like a flame At the end of the game
Set scene Welcome to the future's matinee No dreams While we sleep in the dark of our last days Don't breathe In the smoke when the ash will fill you Don't flee Take the hint and watch the preview No pain Now the hurt just keeps us sober One flame Burning out to push us over Mercy Not a trace so don't tread lightly None worthy Take your place and hold on tightlyAviators - Cities in the Distance (feat. Nirre) (Synth Rock | NEW ALBUM!)Aviators2020-03-06 | You can download this song on my new album, THE CINEMATIC FUTURE:
We're back! After 7 years since our last collaboration @Nirre and I have come to present another song, this time with a cyberpunk twist. Cities in the Distance is about hope in the confines of one of Earth's last cities, where life seems so bleak and unchanging. The song dreams of the cities some say lie outside the known places, where freedom lies and escape can be found. The whole album is full of similar cyberpunk goodness as well, and will be arriving along with this song to Spotify in 1-5 days or so.

Lyrics:
The rain pours longer every night The neon glows a lullaby And it's haunted Haunted with our pride Corruption intertwined with greed Performing interchangeably But I wanted I wanted to be free A system of the absolutes Distract to keep the people mute And we'll all move along But somewhere it's a different show The re-ignition starts to glow Far away now They sing a brand new song
Now from the shadows I can see their light The lone stars shine On the world's last night Trapped in the veil I've only heard their cries The cities chanting Their last reprise
Subsections of an institute The work of bureaucratic brutes They're trying Trying to save face But citizens of darker times Have learned to question better lies While they're running Running out of space But maybe there's one last resort When our resources come up short A light on the horizon shines alone The cities in the distance live With sanctuary left to give Resistance soon ignites into a glow
Raise Your hands upwards in praise Not of the gods but rather The human cause undying The fear Has held us back for years We sold our hearts for nothing We wasted our own time At fault With eyes on you all They kept us scared and silent And desperate to survive The light Grows closer every night So we will sate our hunger And know the world revivedAviators - Sainthood and Sanctuary (Dark Alternative | Album Pre-Order)Aviators2020-02-29 | PRE-ORDER THE CINEMATIC FUTURE and get this song right away! soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/the-cinematic-future
Sainthood and Sanctuary is a sorrowful song of betrayal and the extreme measures one would take just for the promise of safety. In the year 2220, the song's narrator has given into the false promises of his city's ruling cult in the hopes of finding safety in their temple. Instead of salvation, he finds himself trapped and constantly spied upon as his desire for safety in righteousness leaves him alone once again. Musically, this one is a weird rock/acoustic/alternative fusion that ends up being kind of an experiment in strange 3/4 drum lines. It's dark, yet soft, and serves to hint towards the more unique styles to come in the rest of the album.

Artwork by Michael Kirby Album Artwork by ABluSkittle
Safe from an early grave But death feels closer still When does the human soul cave To find itself a kill Promised a crown of glory Fought for an equal stand But fortune would never find me In this blood red land
Why have I given my heart I've fallen so far Because now the future scares me Why am I broken and small I'd sacrifice all For sainthood and sanctuary
I would give anything To know I'm not alone I'm tired of suffering When I once had a home
After I sought protection The saviors broke my bones Lost streets that I remember Now lie here alone Mantras of greater purpose End up left behind The faithful don't deserve this Desperate and blind
Fallen graces Familiar faces Never look like mine Rings of fire And holy water Never turn back time Why do I Have many questions Intel I can't find Still unsure of My mind's selection To trust my fallen kindAviators - Ghosts of our Fathers (Dark Alternative)Aviators2020-02-19 | THE CINEMATIC FUTURE - FULL ALBUM COMING MARCH 6th
It's almost time for a new album and that means I have a new single to share! "Ghosts of our Fathers" is about a young man entering the world with his narrowed view of tradition, lured increasingly towards the propaganda of a futuristic regime that hardly has his best interests at heart. The song urges him to reconsider the flaws and bias of the misinformed traditions he was raised with and the blind obedience of authority.
Stay tuned for more music to come soon!

Lyrics:
Searching for direction Aimless and afraid You dread to see the future come And take your home away It's cold and unfamiliar An outmoded charade The hope of generations Tossed aside, betrayed
You've been waiting for the truth to come find you Are you speaking for yourself or your pain? Do you sleep in the silence to wane the passing shame? You are more than what your history made you Let the ghosts of our fathers pass on There's a new dawn to come when the past mistakes are gone And now they're gone
Raised by hate and anger Fueled with nation's pride The time of change is coming When the old beliefs have died Make your choice enlightened You can't trust the lies Don't choose their side of history Leave the old world far behind
And you feel misunderstood Not succeeding like you should But the game says you aren't strong enough Work hard enough You've been blaming friends you knew But we all are victims too Restricted by the ghosts of days Long passed awayAviators - Undying (Sekiro Song | Hard Rock)Aviators2019-12-03 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/undying
Man, fighting in Sekiro with no GUI is really difficult as it turns out. Still worth it! This is a song inspired by game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and tells the story of impure immortality and a warrior that guards his master to the death and beyond. The game itself is a wonderfully immersive experience, and I highly recommend you play through its mysterious story!

Lyrics:
Trapped in spirit to the earth Where shadows find their due rebirth My blade has fallen but rises new The final blow will still strike true A gift, a curse, but not my own A wish to guide this power home Through all the ghosts along the way I'll live to fight another day
Breath of the unyielding wind The dragon within Keeps the flesh alive To absolve my sin I'm the thief with a mark Redeemed by the Will of the undying spark The wolf in the dark
I am bound by monarch The thief with a mark The undying spark The wolf in the dark
Land of conquest, age of war The likes I've never seen before With spirits rising, and dead unrest This immortality's a test A gift, a curse, but not my own A wish to guide this power home Through all the ghosts along the way I'll live to fight another day
I rot the world around us As the colors turn to gray In a tale of death and pestilence These footprints soon decay So let us fade together To a pure and mortal dream I'll fight my way to get there With this power in my bloodstreamAviators - Have Faith (Faith Song | Dark Southern Rock)Aviators2019-10-31 | Download the song HERE on the new EP! soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/have-faith
The eve of All Hallows has arrived and I'm back so soon to share another scary tale from the new MASKS EP! This track, as the closer of Masks, tells the story of Father John Ward who lost his mind after a failed exorcism and returned to the possessed girl he couldn't save to put an end to the devil inside her. He searches deep in the woods of Connecticut for her abandoned home but finds other forsaken creatures lurking as well... Is his faith misplaced, he asks, or will his prayers deliver him in his encounter with true evil? Musically this song took a very odd turn especially after a mostly heavy EP, but I felt like trying something new and running with the "dark gospel" kind of sound. My friend Matrix has supplied some amazing graphical expertise for the unique video needs of this song, so big thank you to him for the... er... "faithful" look of the video.

Lyrics:
Lord explain what I'm seeing Now I'm down on my knees Devil's been in the backwoods Came to whisper to me I need to get back Mother Mary protect me Into the black Cry your heavenly tears Is my confession loud enough For you to hear?
You gotta have faith To deliver from evil You gotta have faith In the shadow of death You gotta keep pace Looking over your shoulder You gotta embrace Your final breath You gotta take up Your sinner's burden To wear it on trial Like a crown of thorns You need to hold tight Like a man on a mission You gotta cut off These devil's horns
Lord, allow me repentance Let me hear what I've done Seek the devil's acceptance Show her mercy and run So where does this end With a bullet or silence Won't let you pretend That the father can't hear Can you show me some strength to Wash away my fear
Here on earth your own demons dwell Like miracles but instead from hell Now the enemy shows herself But father where are you? Through the darkness I've become lost Searching for this to bear my cross Now I'm ready to pay the cost But will you be there too?Aviators - Masks (Halloween Song | Orchestral Alternative)Aviators2019-10-29 | Download on MASKS - EP now! soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/masks-ep
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Once again I've felt inspired by the spooky season to write a new EP. Masks - EP tackles a variety of horror and ghost stories but in this, the title track, the subject turns to a more realistic look at the nature of two-faced people and the struggles of coming to terms with one's true self instead of facing life with a well-tailored "mask."

Lyrics:
Creeping eyes from across this masquerade Feeling scared, every stare will cut like blades Dead inside, try to hide behind And shake the tremors
Hiding with a smile in a crowded place Emoting through the lips of a plastic face Every word just a code that screams I'm owned by terror Are you scared to see what lies beneath Behind these artificial teeth Through the guilty strings this mask Controls its wearer
Trapped in our own disguises Cut free but soulless still Our dreams are haunted by the Ghosts we kill Identities of silence In search of cheaper scares We're all surrounded by the Masks we wear
Vilified for deeds done in the light Hiding away within plain sight These cloaks are keeping safe The secret faces Terrified of making one mistake Narrow mind 'till the soul begins to break We are just husks seeking The world's false graces
Awake within the moment Asleep throughout our lives We suffer in this torment Ensnared in our own lies In facelessness we're equal When we're not even there You're someone underneath this Behind the mask you wearAviators - Song of the Abyss (Dark Souls Song | Symphonic Rock)Aviators2019-10-07 | Now on Spotify! open.spotify.com/track/4GoRNX8ZAsgt7FsmggBuAE?si=bvXnana9QNGbIzOH6l1yEQ
This song is a single for my upcoming Masks - EP releasing October 25th!
The Dark Souls games keep sucking me back in. "Song of the Abyss" is a tragic tale of loyalty and inevitable defeat, following the story of Knight Artorias and his great wolf Sif. Once the greatest warrior in the known world, Artorias fails his final mission to stop the spread of the Abyss, falling to its influence and leaving his wolf safely behind under his enchanted shield. Of course we, the player, later find Sif and carry on the legacy of the Wolf Knight despite his defeat.

Lyrics:
Old friend, we seem surrounded As decay is closing in And the kiss of deadly silence Has been placed upon my skin For the code we're bound to follow You have led my last crusade Now we're swallowed by the city As it fades
I will shield you from the darkness When the walls around us quake I will hold back all the monsters Until my bones begin to break When I've lost I'll have to leave you And the tears, they'll fall like rain If I'm taken by the shadows I will spare you from the pain
Cry a requiem for sunlight Hide away now from the dark To me the angered deep is calling Tearing me apart Somehow the whispers do command me When the abyss has taken hold Now carry on in glory When I grow cold
I will shield you from the darkness When the walls around us quake I will hold back all the monsters Until my bones begin to break When I've lost I'll have to leave you And the tears, they'll fall like rain If I'm taken by the shadows I will spare you from the pain
Foolishly I left the darkness creeping In this restless ruin my soul is bleeding I confess to you the dark Has taken me prisoner I am corrupt beyond any rescue I've forsaken my vow to protect you Oh, end these horrors Face the father of the sinister
If the fight's over I will sacrifice my mind Just to know you'll still be breathing When the years have been unkind So continue on without me Guard my body and my flame Keep a watch over the wasteland When the world forgets my name
I will shield you from the darkness When the walls around us quake I will hold back all the monsters Until my bones begin to break When I've lost I'll have to leave you And the tears, they'll fall like rain If I'm taken by the shadows I will spare you from the painAviators - Theyll Never Find Us (Dark Alternative)Aviators2019-09-20 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/theyll-never-find-us
They'll Never Find Us is the alternate ending of the Aeterno story, where instead of completing his assigned task of repairing the course of time, our hero ends his journey through the ages prematurely. He rescues the lost love of his own past instead, whisking her away to a period of history where no one would ever be able to find them. Together they doom the last remnants of humanity at the end of time, but they live on in peace and let the future take its course unaltered.
Stay tuned for more Aeterno uploads, as well as some upcoming Halloween content!
Lyrics: In separate folds We're desperate people In spite of ourselves The balance is equal It's time to go back But only to take you Somewhere to grow old Where nothing can break through
Our chance to survive The cosmos' winter Will leave them behind A world crushed to splinters We'll snuff out the light And hide in the darkness The closure of pain A final catharsis
Find your way Through the mist Where nothing else But only we exist We stem the flow And hold the dawn To step behind it all Beyond
When the silence falls at last And the clock tower rings no more We'll watch the hourglass Trapped like we were before And we'll lay awake in fear Of the past days come again But they'll never find us here Before they burn at this world's end
Don't cry for this world bleeding out They've had their day and ours is now The way of absolution is the end The end of all of time So have some faith and let it fade In the past our future's made We'll slip away unseen back to the start To the start again
Find your way Through the mist Where nothing else But only we exist We stem the flow And hold the dawn To step behind it all Beyond
When the silence falls at last And the clock tower rings no more We watch the hourglass Trapped like we were before And we'll lay awake in fear Of the past days come again But they'll never find us here Before they burn at this world's endAviators - The Path Home (Rewind Version - Synthrock)Aviators2019-09-02 | Aeterno: Rewind brings us back to the time-traveling story of the original 2013 concept album, and you can get it now on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/aeterno-rewind-ep
The Path Home was the "end credits" song of the original Aeterno album, and follows a weary time traveler back to the end of the world where he began, all for a chance to save the future.

Lyrics:
Spent my days Watching and waiting Killed my faith Participating In this crusade Still masquerading As the lie That we're creating Blinding lights Leave me in silence Hopes and dreams Taken with violence Right and wrong Have made alliance Now I will Turn in defiance
Passing thoughts leave me alone And I'm on the path home
I won't stand down I won't give out I'm taking a chance despite my doubt I'm not gonna lose With so much to prove I'm coming home to you
Shut your eyes Don't chase the demons Know our way Back through to freedom I've seen how This course is shifting At the world's end The last are listening Let them hear Their fate is silence The fire grows near To bring us guidance Life unchecked Becomes infernal Now our time comes We are eternal
One more trip Into the hourglass Change our place In the upturned past I'll find you when This plague is mended When we're alone And they have endedAviators - Find Me (Rewind Version - Orchestral Ballad)Aviators2019-08-20 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/aeterno-rewind-ep
It's been a long time coming, but the revisit of 2013's "Aeterno" is almost here! Aeterno: REWIND takes us back to the post-apocalyptic future of the original concept album and re-tells the tale of one of the last humans on Earth traveling back in time to find the key to save humanity and alter the past, all while searching for his long lost love from years ago. She is the subject of this first single "Find Me" (now with lyrics!) as he leaves messages for her throughout the past thousand years.
Stay tuned for more revisited pieces of Aeterno, as well as the next upcoming REWIND project!
Far away now Trapped at the start of all we know Traces of doubt Keep on obscuring my way out Lost in days gone Living in a memory turned wrong So far that I wake up now afraid When I can hear a whisper
Tell me to stay Find me the chance to walk away Show me the path Home to you in the aftermath Guilty with shame Of leaving you helpless in the flames So that we could thrive when I return When I can hear you whisper
In the beat of your heart I can still hear a spark I'll follow all the signs Across a thousand years in time, you'll know me I've been back to the start From the very last part And all the stars align To lead you to this place to find me waiting
What is it worth To give it all up for new rebirth If I could be strong Then maybe this wouldn't feel so wrong Now that I'm lost And now that I know this victory's cost Whisper a prayer to guide me home Into the deep unknown
I never asked to walk the road alone But someday I'll make it home Don't let the lifeline disappear To guide me back when hope is near Promise a future I can come back to When now all I have is you I'll follow all the signs Across a thousand years in time
I'm breaking We're fading But you're not alone One more try For tonight I can't do this on my ownAviators - The Bells (Game of Thrones Song | Orchestral Rock)Aviators2019-07-01 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/track/the-bells
I'm back! I've touched on Game of Thrones before, but this time I felt like after the finale I had to give it at least one more shot. This song is a medley of various themes and motifs from the show (can you hear them all?) telling an epic tale of two queens. This should go without saying, but MAJOR SPOILERS ahead in both the lyrics and video!
Lyrics:
High in the crimson towers Hate between a mother's eyes Certain of a costly price To pay when fire survives When all she loved has left the keep The rains above us gently weep And wash away the blood as it goes cold
And so she spoke And so she spoke The lion of Castamere When none remain To mourn her reign So proud yet founded upon fear
Gates swung open wide to wretches Lowborn pay the price in blood Placed upon the precipice Of near rising flood Terror in the hearts of children Worried that the war's come home As the sound of wildfire burning Nears the lion's throne
Let it be fear she told them Let it be fear they know Let them become ashes now upon the fallen snow
Blind with the power and fury Numb behind the dregs of wrath Set to pay the costly price And tread a father's path When thousands battled in her name She stormed the gates and showered flame To break the wheel but then would forge her own
Let it be fear she told them Let it be fear they know Let them become ashes now upon the fallen snow Burn them all down to embers Servants and lords the same Show them all fire and blood to win the mad queen's game
And with the swords lain down They screamed 'til the bells cried out In search of some mercy their hope became fear Their hope became fear And it fed her rage Her lust for the lion's cage She'll stand down for nothing Until they all cheer, with no one left here
Too Late for a Savior is an experimental song musically, lacking a true chorus and shedding a usual song structure to express a slow, methodical descent into madness. The Elder of the Godhunter saga sought power through eldritch worship of the cosmos, and as his efforts proved useless but his following grew, he pursued darker means of seeking immortality. As he searched he neglected his people, and the deaths grew quickly. It's too late for redemption, he claims, so he will stoop to any means to save himself.
Lyrics:
Never too late for changes Never too late to move With the barriers down There is nothing left to prove Then you're never too far to look back At the vengeance or the fall When there's nothing else left But to take your curtain call
Give the ending just a little flavor If you're going down, they'll break as well 'Cause it's too late for a savior But it's never too late for hell
Never too late for madness Never too late for death As the towers rise I will stand with bated breath Now there's no one left to hurt us And there's no one left to save At the ending of all It's the silence that I crave
Give the ending just a little flavor If you're seeing ghosts they'll face the same 'Cause you're never going to be the savior But a leader keeps the monsters sane Lift the burdens of the weak away now Let the many become the few 'Cause it's never too late for mercy To let the red tides rise to you
Never too late for secrets Never too late to hide Build the barriers up Let no one else inside Heroes can't save the future And no one can change the past You'd need the hands of a god Just to make this city last
Give the ending just a little flavor If you're seeing ghosts they'll face the same 'Cause you're never going to be the savior But a leader keeps the monsters sane Lift the burdens of the weak away now Let the many become the few 'Cause it's never too late for mercy To let the red tides rise to you
Bring the fire when they call you "traitor" If you're going down, they'll break as well To the ones who don't deserve a savior They've been ruined by the rebel yell Take the suffering and plague away now Let the madness become the truth 'Cause it's never too late for mercy When the red tides rise to you
As power tends Toward violent ends I'll choose to give up nothing 'Cause it's too late to be the hero And it's too late to see the truth I'm exempt of absolution But it's never too late for you
Bring the fire (It's never too late) Bring the rain (It's never too late) Grant desires (It's never too late) Numb the pain (It's never too late) Bring the fire (It's never too late) Bring the rain (It's never too late) Grant desires (It's never too late) It's never too late for youAviators - Way of the Strong (Nioh Song | Orchestral Rock)Aviators2019-03-14 | Download on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/godhunter
Nioh left me feeling inspired, as with most games of its kind, and I felt compelled to write something with the victorious yet futile story it told. A warrior from England travels to war-torn Japan in an age of demons and beasts, and this song tells of his undying pursuit for his guardian spirit and his embrace of the way of the samurai.
Lyrics:
The wind sings the longest tune Adrift under the ashen moon The road ahead has an unforgiving toll I've journeyed to where I stand A ghost among the far-off lands Survive against the fire and the cold
Walk in the deepest of footprints Step into the fog Breaking the silence A threatening song On the trail of the ancients The demons awake At the end of all evil The battleground shakes To the sound of the metal The splinters of bone In a war with the summoned The soldiers of stone As the vessel of guardians I follow along With the words of the wise In the way of the strong
Follow Step into the fog Follow A threatening song Follow We're carried along Follow The way of the strong
The mountains moving as night falls In the shadows I hear demons crawl No fear of death, just fear of something worse A power comes from the west Upturning all the dead that rest Still holding on to the burdens of their curse
One goal in mind A soul to find Taken by a madman Trapped within the deepest of these cursed lands They'll scatter when I rise again The spirit keeps the focus Even when the battle's odds are hopelessAviators - Lost Boys (feat. Moonraccoon) (Synthrock)Aviators2019-02-19 | Download as part of the new album on Bandcamp: soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/godhunter
Lost Boys is a song about the underestimated youth, and the reality that they have the power and the obligation to shape the future. Taking place in a post-apocalyptic revolution, it serves as an anthem of rebellion for the young citizens that grew apathetic to their current place in history.
Lyrics: Days in neverland grow darker The forbidden moments come To a hasty resolution When the battle starts with one
Through the crooked lies As the conflict dies Oh, their words have tied our tongues together These words have tied our tongues We've been left behind Blamed and made to fight But these lost boys won't stay young forever These lost boys won't stay young
Overlooked, denied Shamed for trying to find Reasons for the violent answers Young but unafraid A massive voice awaits Holding up to higher standards
With the seekers apprehended It's desperate time for truth In the war for information The ammunition comes from you
Balance shifts May the world be fixed When the words we use still matter, matter And bold faced lies are shattered, shattered Break the cage Bring us this new age When we hold ground when we know it, know it Make liars afraid to show it, show it Carry on the heavy load You've tread upon the longest road And they won't let you stop until the end Choose your words, think carefully Their patterns of dishonesty Are no match for your reason to contend
