"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.Mastered by Fishpaste2100Artwork by ABluSkittletwitch.tv/abluskittledeviantart.com/abluskittleLyrics:Scared off all the townsmen with a question as to whyWe must avoid the night and say a prayer before we die"There's structure in tradition" cried the minister with rageWhile burning every book that carries magic on the pageSaid you'd set her right with god and tried to teach her howTold her be a good girl well she's stronger than you nowCasting off the shackles to reject her given nameThe one who burns the witches always ends up in the flameLock your doorsShe's coming back even out the scoreVengeful spirits do her dark commandsIn the devil's handsNow the fire's in her breathScarlet vowTaken by the girl who you cast outYou're not the only one with chants to singOr a prayer to bringBut her patron saint is deathIn the night there's howling but there's silence from the packThe cold wind carries something that alludes to an attackShe's here to light the matches with a new enchanted formTaking her own action so the victim is rebornHolding out their crosses at the edges of the townBelieved your faith protected but she's here to burn you downPray your final whispers and reflect upon your guiltThe monster you created will end everything you've builtLock your doorsShe's coming back even out the scoreVengeful spirits do her dark commandsIn the devil's handsNow the fire's in her breathScarlet vowTaken by the girl who you cast outYou're not the only one with chants to singOr a prayer to bringBut her patron saint is deathFire high above her headRed magic back againWhen she swore herself to crimsonIt granted righteous scornWrapped loose in blasphemyA tight noose upon your treeThe blood is spilled as justiceAnd a scarlet reign is born

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.The artwork is a beautiful piece by @ABluSkittle For this song, I had the pleasure of working with OVER 100 fans and friends who lent their voices to the chorus of this song and gave it a unique oomph.

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.Join the community, discuss this song and find more on Discord:discord.gg/aviatorsThanks to @Vivziepop for creating this charming thrill of a show!And also to @ABluSkittle for the incredible artwork.Lyrics:I deserve to be hereBut no one could deserve youYou're an interventionA hallucination of truthWhen I need a fix-upI feel you in my veinsYou're the spark I neededTo start a whole new flameStraight into my heartI am blown apartLike a bullet to my brainYou tear the world away andWhen it goes to shitI can take a hit'Cause you're here keeping me saneA spirit like a stormWith you I'm rebornAt the bottom of the chainIt starts to look like heavenCut and bleed me dryTake another lifeYou're the killer of my painRipped apart by somethingInside me left from those daysWalking with the earthboundI'd rather be in your gazeYou're the one elixirLaced with the sickness I needAnd I'm gonna take youWhen my affliction bleedsStraight into my heartI am blown apartLike a bullet to my brainYou tear the world away andWhen it goes to shitI can take a hit'Cause you're here keeping me saneA spirit like a stormWith you I'm rebornAt the bottom of the chainIt starts to look like heavenCut and bleed me dryTake another lifeYou're the killer of my painRisking lifeI will never let goNever let goAnd while you're kicking ass I'll be there kicking tooThrough the blood and strifeWe will do what we knowDo what we knowLike a rose's thornsOn your hellbound hornsMy thrillerPainkillerI'll let you in to cure meEven if it's gonna hurt meStraight into my heartI am blown apartLike a bullet to my brainYou tear the world away andWhen it goes to shitI can take a hit'Cause you're here keeping me saneA spirit like a stormWith you I'm rebornAt the bottom of the chainIt starts to look like heavenCut and bleed me dryTake another lifeYou're the killer of my pain

Find this song on the platform of your choice!fanlink.to/modernmythologyThis 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.

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.

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 downFeeling like I'm going to drownGuess I think I need a new fixationNeed experimental eyesJust to feel the other sideAnd experience a close sensationYou know, this earthly world gets lonelyI want a surreal trip to haunt meWe're all just searching for that lasting mental sparkWhen it hits you know it sticksAnd then your soul has hit its markAscending from this plane to walk along the skyBut you need the supernaturalFor that haunting kind of highDelve a little in the deepGrab a piece of hell to keepWanna creep into a new dimensionWarm possession by the fireNow it gets my spirit higherAnd my mind embraces the connectionFill my psychoactive mindBullet proof and armor linedMake me stronger, hold me closerMake me shineLeave a whisper in my brainTake the pressure take the painThis nirvana makes me wannaGo insaneTake my being out of boundsShow me what the dead have foundI can feel the rush just behind meMake me feel a spectral loveIt's a wicked potent drugWith it you could make my blood almightyI need the haunting kind of highThat makes me feel aliveThe haunting kind of highLike you're never gonna dieThe haunting kind of highThe devils dropping byThe mortal spirit's cryLike the fire in your eyes

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.To keep in touch and to keep tabs on my music, check out this channel's Discord server!discord.gg/NY84YcrbypLyrics:The noise has settled downBefore the storm arisesA never ending climbNo road to run awayWe're scared to keep on fightingWe're running out of timeFractured skies and acid rainWe are sent unknownTemples high in trails of painFor a moonlit throneThe hourglass availsSo haste must beat temptationThe dream we're living outIs not imaginationAcross a living tombWe fight wholly outnumberedTo swiftly face our doomAnd face the cosmic thunderFractured skies and acid rainWe are sent unknownTemples high in trails of painFor a moonlit throneTake a look across the hordesIf you don't trust meOur nightmares will evolveAnd so must weThe chemicalsThey settle inThe atmosphereBreaches my skinAnd there is not one ally left aliveThis time, this timeThe planet's wrathA natural willAgainst the testAdapted skillWhen the odds overwhelm us we survive

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 darknessFrom granted eyes beyondDreams of the deep mistThey hide a scratching songThere's a primal fearThat death is nearWrithing now in waitAm I past the veilConsciousness failingI hear a wicked fateCan you hear it?Can you hear it?The tolls of madness ringingDo you fear it?Do you fear it?An ancient choir is singingAll consumingCalling to meIn a dream, it's a thorn I can't dig outCan't you hear it too?If you listen close nowLulled to the madnessI have seen what I can't knowGlimpsed at a nightmareTo fester and to growIn this empty homeOf flesh and boneA presence left unseenLaying awake in bedMy hollowed head willCall back through the dreamI feel it humming deep inside the wallsThe dark vibrationsWhispered acts unspeakable, horrible, reachable, audibleI'm pressured to awaken my own sightTo generationsAncient ones malevolent, reckoning, pestilent, beckoning

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.To keep in touch and to keep tabs on my music, check out the Discord server!discord.gg/NY84YcrbypArtwork by the ever-talented @ABluSkittle !Lyrics:EnshrinedBy an ocean divineWaiting for the truth to come aliveBefore your own accursed eyesThe callThe end of it allDeath lingers endlessly belowAwaiting mankind's fallIt comes at lastFrom ages pastThe madness belowBeyond all that we knowWill ariseNightmares foretoldFrom days of oldThe secrets we keepAnd the dreams of the deepRealizedThe endOf the sane world of menNow I question all that I have seenI this is a spectre or a dreamEmbracedBy those with the tasteFor insight forgotten long agoOf futures laid to wasteAnd in the waves we wanderSearching for our endNow our vessel's going underAnd an epitaph is pennedWith the sunken gateway openedSoon the sea reclaimsAnd when the dark has spokenWe will know its cursed name

This is also the second single from Dreams of the Deep, my new album coming soon on February 19th!Artwork is by @ABluSkittle Lyrics:Deep in the mist I can feel something thereA touch of the soul like the wind in your hair There's a light in the dark but it's just so far awayWhile we storm heaven's gatesAnd we heal our mistakesThe fear could take us overBut we heal in the lightAnd we gather our mightTo find our spirit's closure So we fall againWe come togetherWhen the pieces fall apartThey last foreverWith a prayer to fill our heartsAnd to keep us braveOur eternityA circle holding us betweenThe threads of lifeThis cursed realityHas doomed us with new purpose As spirits bound in service to the graveWhere some wander aimless and some quest for moreIn traces of kingdoms, the ruins of beforeWe consider the costAnd we're fighting to surviveWhile we cross through the riftOur ethereal giftWill leave us shells no longerWith the whispers in mindOf the demon insideWe end our failures strongerSomething has eclipsed this landCovered by an unseen handSuddenly in death we've found another kind of lifeTrodden under kings and queensWe inherit greater meansPower of the souls, now repurposed for our plightDemons from an ancient timeRise up from the filth and grimeSoon we face the storm, but in numbers we stand strongBlessed with a kiss from the unholy lightTo get up when we miss and after we've diedThe battle will be ours, but the war is fighting onSo we rise againWe stand togetherLike million lights aflameThey burn foreverWith a song to guide us homeAnd to keep us saneFor eternityWe're searching onwardIn the afterlife of EarthOur bones in ashesBut we fight it all in wonderAnd we'll face it with each other to the grave

"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.Instrumental version:youtube.com/watch?v=wcnHeMnSJEYFor background music and tools for remixing, the instrumentals, vocal stems, and MIDIs of this entire EP is available for free!soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/masks-the-instrumentalsYou can also join the Aviators Music community on discord for updates and feedback:discord.gg/GXHT6fLyrics: When once, long agoI was worn down and abusedThe strongest took the spoilsAnd then we fell at their shoesBut now they are goneAnd my sanity's kept by my chainsSo I bear them both in faith and hateFor family and all that remainsFight, to igniteNot for gods nor the coming of nightIf I'm the last of the men to fallThen this warrior's growing in mightFor fear and for loveAnd survival when push comes to shoveThe red hood is coming to take you homeThe bearer of soul and of lightOld kings will fadeWhen the last of the light's fading tooThe castles long have fallenAnd the paintings faded blueSo here now you standWe are human yet both something newThe last prize has been takenNow the red hood faces youHere in the ashesBalanced and wholeI endlessly hungerFor power of soulAt the end of all the agesIn the last of my crusadesYou're the red hood's last contenderAnd the first one unafraidI'm regretful to have hurt youBut this world's blood must be spilledI'll return home as a monsterFrom the bad dream that I've killed

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.You can also join the Aviators Music community on discord for updates and feedback:discord.gg/GXHT6fLyrics:The rain pours longer every nightThe neon glows a lullabyAnd it's hauntedHaunted with our prideCorruption intertwined with greedPerforming interchangeablyBut I wantedI wanted to be freeA system of the absolutesDistract to keep the people muteAnd we'll all move alongBut somewhere it's a different showThe re-ignition starts to glowFar away nowThey sing a brand new songNow from the shadowsI can see their lightThe lone stars shineOn the world's last nightTrapped in the veilI've only heard their criesThe cities chantingTheir last repriseSubsections of an instituteThe work of bureaucratic brutesThey're tryingTrying to save faceBut citizens of darker timesHave learned to question better liesWhile they're runningRunning out of spaceBut maybe there's one last resortWhen our resources come up shortA light on the horizon shines aloneThe cities in the distance liveWith sanctuary left to giveResistance soon ignites into a glowRaiseYour hands upwards in praiseNot of the gods but ratherThe human cause undyingThe fearHas held us back for yearsWe sold our hearts for nothingWe wasted our own timeAt faultWith eyes on you allThey kept us scared and silentAnd desperate to surviveThe lightGrows closer every nightSo we will sate our hungerAnd know the world revived
Aviators - Sainthood and Sanctuary (Dark Alternative | Album Pre-Order) Aviators 2020-02-29 | PRE-ORDER THE CINEMATIC FUTURE and get this song right away!soundoftheaviators.bandcamp.com/album/the-cinematic-futureSainthood 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.You can also join the Aviators Music community on discord for updates and feedback:discord.gg/GXHT6fArtwork by Michael KirbyAlbum Artwork by ABluSkittleSafe from an early graveBut death feels closer stillWhen does the human soul caveTo find itself a killPromised a crown of gloryFought for an equal standBut fortune would never find meIn this blood red landWhy have I given my heartI've fallen so farBecause now the future scares meWhy am I broken and smallI'd sacrifice allFor sainthood and sanctuaryI would give anythingTo know I'm not aloneI'm tired of sufferingWhen I once had a homeAfter I sought protectionThe saviors broke my bonesLost streets that I rememberNow lie here aloneMantras of greater purposeEnd up left behindThe faithful don't deserve thisDesperate and blindFallen gracesFamiliar facesNever look like mineRings of fireAnd holy waterNever turn back timeWhy do IHave many questionsIntel I can't findStill unsure ofMy mind's selectionTo trust my fallen kind

"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.

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...

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."The artwork is done by the amazing ABluSkittle! deviantart.com/abluskittle/art/Masks-818166051You can also join the Aviators Music community on discord for updates and feedback:discord.gg/GXHT6fLyrics:Creeping eyes from across this masqueradeFeeling scared, every stare will cut like bladesDead inside, try to hide behindAnd shake the tremorsHiding with a smile in a crowded placeEmoting through the lips of a plastic faceEvery word just a code that screamsI'm owned by terrorAre you scared to see what lies beneathBehind these artificial teethThrough the guilty strings this maskControls its wearerTrapped in our own disguisesCut free but soulless stillOur dreams are haunted by theGhosts we killIdentities of silenceIn search of cheaper scaresWe're all surrounded by theMasks we wearVilified for deeds done in the lightHiding away within plain sightThese cloaks are keeping safeThe secret facesTerrified of making one mistakeNarrow mind 'till the soul begins to breakWe are just husks seekingThe world's false gracesAwake within the momentAsleep throughout our livesWe suffer in this tormentEnsnared in our own liesIn facelessness we're equalWhen we're not even thereYou're someone underneath thisBehind the mask you wear

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 foldsWe're desperate peopleIn spite of ourselvesThe balance is equalIt's time to go backBut only to take youSomewhere to grow oldWhere nothing can break throughOur chance to surviveThe cosmos' winterWill leave them behindA world crushed to splintersWe'll snuff out the lightAnd hide in the darknessThe closure of painA final catharsisFind your wayThrough the mistWhere nothing elseBut only we existWe stem the flowAnd hold the dawnTo step behind it allBeyondWhen the silence falls at lastAnd the clock tower rings no moreWe'll watch the hourglassTrapped like we were beforeAnd we'll lay awake in fearOf the past days come againBut they'll never find us hereBefore they burn at this world's endDon't cry for this world bleeding outThey've had their day and ours is nowThe way of absolution is the endThe end of all of timeSo have some faith and let it fadeIn the past our future's madeWe'll slip away unseen back to the startTo the start againFind your wayThrough the mistWhere nothing elseBut only we existWe stem the flowAnd hold the dawnTo step behind it allBeyondWhen the silence falls at lastAnd the clock tower rings no moreWe watch the hourglassTrapped like we were beforeAnd we'll lay awake in fearOf the past days come againBut they'll never find us hereBefore they burn at this world's end

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 nowTrapped at the start of all we knowTraces of doubtKeep on obscuring my way outLost in days goneLiving in a memory turned wrongSo far that I wake up now afraidWhen I can hear a whisperTell me to stayFind me the chance to walk awayShow me the pathHome to you in the aftermathGuilty with shameOf leaving you helpless in the flamesSo that we could thrive when I returnWhen I can hear you whisperIn the beat of your heartI can still hear a sparkI'll follow all the signsAcross a thousand years in time, you'll know meI've been back to the startFrom the very last partAnd all the stars alignTo lead you to this place to find me waitingWhat is it worthTo give it all up for new rebirthIf I could be strongThen maybe this wouldn't feel so wrongNow that I'm lostAnd now that I know this victory's costWhisper a prayer to guide me homeInto the deep unknownI never asked to walk the road aloneBut someday I'll make it homeDon't let the lifeline disappearTo guide me back when hope is nearPromise a future I can come back toWhen now all I have is youI'll follow all the signsAcross a thousand years in timeI'm breakingWe're fadingBut you're not aloneOne more tryFor tonightI can't do this on my own

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 towersHate between a mother's eyesCertain of a costly priceTo pay when fire survivesWhen all she loved has left the keepThe rains above us gently weepAnd wash away the blood as it goes coldAnd so she spokeAnd so she spokeThe lion of CastamereWhen none remainTo mourn her reignSo proud yet founded upon fearGates swung open wide to wretchesLowborn pay the price in bloodPlaced upon the precipiceOf near rising floodTerror in the hearts of childrenWorried that the war's come homeAs the sound of wildfire burningNears the lion's throneLet it be fear she told themLet it be fear they knowLet them become ashes now upon the fallen snowBlind with the power and furyNumb behind the dregs of wrathSet to pay the costly priceAnd tread a father's pathWhen thousands battled in her nameShe stormed the gates and showered flameTo break the wheel but then would forge her ownLet it be fear she told themLet it be fear they knowLet them become ashes now upon the fallen snowBurn them all down to embersServants and lords the sameShow them all fire and blood to win the mad queen's gameAnd with the swords lain downThey screamed 'til the bells cried outIn search of some mercy their hope became fearTheir hope became fearAnd it fed her rageHer lust for the lion's cageShe'll stand down for nothingUntil they all cheer, with no one left here CastamereLet it be, let it be fearCastamereLet it be, let it be fear

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 you

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 hopeless

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

Civilization ignores the mistakes of their ancestors, and the pattern continues on into the 21st century, as she watches the dark future unfold.Lyrics:I begged the world to heal its scars again As I cried into oblivion And the victims passed me by I said The curse has kept us spiraling While the desperate keep on rioting And the greedy plea with lies One more summer And yet another While the more things change they stay the same Apathetic inaction Is gaining traction While the lost don't play they lose the game Don't fade out, we'll go off script The last scene's behind our silent lips We're signed on for a sequel But nobody's seen the first act Seen the first act Of a hundred stories just like yours Through the history of an endless war They've come back Signed on for a sequel But nobody's seen the first act Seen the first act before And I wept For the future of humanity To be free of this insanity Where the lessons learned repeat I sent A message to the least of us That the greedy are carnivorous And that hatred fears defeat One more summer And yet another While the more things change they stay the same Apathetic inaction Is gaining traction While the lost don't play they lose the game And our eyes consume the world today Just as if the past has been erased So don't run away, don't run away from time There's a cycle of our symmetry As a sign that history will repeat So start looking back, start looking back to find All the tragedies we've tried to mend All the selfish acts with violent ends We don't learn a thing from conflict So it finds us once again

With only a few desperate hours before death takes them once again, the only way to survive is to disguise yourself, and become one of the monsters for the night.Inspired by countless video games, cheesy 80's slasher films, and all the stories that make this my favorite time of year!Lyrics:Still air, the harvest moon in the skyFools scared of their supernatural demiseRaised hair on the back of your neckTells you something is lurking tonightThe hymns of the October wind are howling through the treesThe sun sets on a night to bring the bravest to their kneesA thin divide is lifted letting spirits through the frayWhen shadows fall the beasts have come to scare us all awayDark saintsAll hallowsThe villains hunt before they're off to the gallows on aCursed nightA bone chillerCover your eyes, 'cause you're living a thrillerRed feast, of bounty for violent delightsReleased from hell and its unending spiteOne breach, every hundred yearsTo let the masked reign the living with frightA ravenous monstrosity to put Lovecraft to shameWhen horrors born with countless eyes, arise without a nameThe living and the citizens once mourned but fear the deadThose fiends have come for vengeance, and will bury them insteadThe spirits and the whispers stir, the shadows come aliveThe dead ones in their sleep no longer pressured to abideFree reign, for those between the veilHeld tight within a harrowing taleLights out, hide on this unholy eveWhen the mortal boundaries fail

The traveler has fought honorably for his King, his family, and now finds himself with no one left to defend, wandering the ruined towns he once saw full of life. What is there left to do but wander, when every soul you fought for is lost?Artwork is created by ReneAigner.Lyrics:I see the golden years behind usI'm getting scared to move alongMy inspiration has subsidedWithout a muse to keep me strongI can't remember our last victoryWas it the past, or just a dream?The world we grew to love has crumbledWith my own efforts losing steamI think I need your hands to lift meI think I need your light to shineThere lies a trail of fire behind usFrom a warstruck, weary timeI'm going to need a guide to show meTo walk me through the streets of goldWhen death will meet us at the endOf our own lost and broken roadI've made mistakes that devastatedToo many battles lost to tellIf I could turn back to time to find youI'd find our confidence as wellSo please forgive the tears and whispersIf you are only in my headSometimes I want to think you're listeningWhen every other voice is deadThe last survivor of the fallWithout a will to live at allThe sun is setting asNo one remains my weakened callI've come a thousand miles alonePassed every kingdom's empty throneAnd I can't shake the feelingYou'll arrange the stars to lead me home

Within the expansion "Crown of the Ivory King" lies a story of love and sacrifice, telling the tale of The Ivory King's plunge into the depths of chaos to save his dear Queen Alsanna and the rest of the world. Years later, his soul remains in torment without rest, reliving the pain of leaving his love until someone comes to take his soul.Also, outside of the really bittersweet lore, I got to know The King very well in this area of the game, because it is really, REALLY hard. I think I'll leave him and his queen alone from now on.Lyrics:Last kiss for a burned manDark child of the outlandsMy heavy heart will take this last goodbyeBrave souls for a last standSpilled blood on my charred handsA sacrifice to know you'll stay aliveWhen the fire has comeI will die to protect youLight a candle for meOn this winter's dayMy queen, don't cry tonightThere's a dream left to cling toI will rest in ashTo leave you safe, I prayFresh snow for the dark yearsFrost graced by a king's tearsMy love, I must not waver now in deathDeep earth, where the fires glowFaced down with the unknownA whispered vow to you on my last breathAlways these winds will whisperLaced with an endless shiverLeave a light above for me to findLast queen of lands forsakenHold strong when life is takenKeep a memory, for peace of mind

The sequel last year proved to be every bit as immersive as the first, and I quickly started work on a song to pay tribute. "Ordinarily Human" follows K's journey of self-discovery and questioning the very nature of his world. Perhaps the line between "artificial" and "human" was made up all along.For more music or to get in touch, find me onPatreon: patreon.com/AviatorsTwitter: twitter.com/Aviators84Twitch: twitch.tv/aviatorslivestreamDiscord: discord.gg/JWqXshBLyrics:I don't know where my own dreams endAnd where the world beginsAm I alone in the coreOf the body I'm caged inOn the run from my originsSo scared to see the lightAm I awake, conscious fleshOr will this static fade to whiteLike the cracks in the pavement I've fractured my mindArtificially soulless, perceiving that I'mOrdinarily human but programmed to seemToo unnatural to live my electric dreamsAll the faults of realityAre crawling in my headIf this machine is a pawnWhy do I lie awake in bedLet me find where the program stopsTo put my open eyes to sleepNo turning back, I'm set freeWithin a herd of plastic sheepSelf-aware of my boundsFrom the truth that we've foundCut the wires, reject my own memoryLife inside of a shellMindless commands to quellHuman thought, so deeply ordinaryMy existence has never been trueReconciled with the dream that we knewA hive of empty spaceFlawed in function, humanityOur lives were never free

This is a reflective anthem of fellowship, inspired by Solaire, the most loyal knight of them all. The Warriors of Sunlight are a bastion of friendship in the bleak world of Dark Souls, and I was inspired by the jolly co-operation and uplifting aid that they bring to the game. This song is less about the death and destruction of old lands, but instead about the ability to overcome impossible odds and fight to the very end with the help of friends. For this track, I reached out to my patrons and Discord server members to help me out with backing vocals! There are over 70 people singing with me on the chorus, joining in on the anthem much like they did for "Dystopian Fiction." A big shout out to my amazing fans for lending me their voice and praising the sun together!Lyrics:We're chasing ashes in the windWhen the end of fire beginsJust look to the sun and soon you'll find your aidDon't fear the demons in the darkWe have a journey to embarkYou're never alone, even when light will fadeWe are the heroesNever defeatedMarch to the endingHistory repeatedTogether as equalsAt heart we're the sameLive in the presentand signal your nameShine like a beaconThe light we are afterHere in the falloutBound in disasterWe're burdened with purposeSo here we remainWe're incandescentA glorious flameOvercome by this vivid dreamWhen the odds aren't what they seemYou've got a friend to watch your back and guide the wayMistakes that set you back too farI've set a sign just where you areI've struggled as well, but I won't let you die todayDon't rush through the night's fogJoin these shining watchdogsTo chase your fear away when you're aloneSpite the rolling thunderTear these streets asunderToward a shining sun to call your ownSavor every momentHere comes our atonementWhen hell's own flames arise, we fight as oneStep forth now, ascendedGrossly incandescentYou're part of something more, a warming sunSpent years waiting for the timeI'd come to see the truth behindThe darkness that we face in our own livesCast aside your fearWe're strong in numbersHolding back a fate of endless slumberI want to stay to keep you strongSide by side is where we belong

Lectro Dub came on board and took it even further with his gritty, visceral vocals and lyrics! The lyrics portray a fantasy hunter and a cold-hearted monster locked in combat, both on their best game and enthralled with a skilled battle. Instead of the usual monster hunter's perspective though, this song is held mostly in the eyes of the monster itself. Playfully deadly and intelligent, the war has come to the lair of this beast and it has been preparing.Lyrics:So I know what you've been thinking That you're the only thing that's lurking in the night You aren't safe within in the shadows 'Cause tonight begins the hunt and you're in sight Moonlit eyes under still and haunting sky I can see within the soul you've stowed away Tend your fire, draw this cursed evening's ire Try your odds and you just might become the prey That adrenaline rush when weapons fly It's the fear that brings out that body high So you know that I'm stuck here paralyzed with you In a midnight clash of circumstance At the mercy of my inhuman hands I will bring myself to see this challenge through It's a stalemate In a twist of fate When you're face to face with death itself Grounds of battle where no heroes dwell For a light thrill Or a cold night's chill You will be this hunter's golden prize If you leave your guard down, paralyzed Wicked traps are set around you Not a lantern lit in sight to guide you home You've been looking for the danger And you sense my presence chilling in your bones Take your stance, I will give you one fair chance So let's make this dance a bloody masquerade Understand how this ends, and what I am You're against the night itself, so be afraid As the darkness takes the light Shadows crawling through the night I will let you take my hand But I hope you understand That it's always been the same Bringing thunder with the rain But you shouldn't be afraid Of the games they like to play Every moment left alone Gets to feeling more like home Leaving chills under your skin So let's start to settle in Through the multitude of eyes Taking shapes under the skies Aren't you curious to see What kind of monster you've set free You try to scream but there's no sound Try to hide but you'll be found You'll be next to bear the mark From the tendrils in the dark

This time, as a spiritual successor to "No One Will Save You," I've told another sad tale of unfortunate encounters with a higher power. Long ago, an unnamed fisherman hears voices beneath the waves and wanders from his decrepit village out into the Deep, to find ascension in death and to have audience with the mother of the ocean. "When Our Bodies Wash Ashore" is a Lovecraftian tale of madness and unholy infatuation with the deep wonders below.It's also very nearly a 10 minute song, so I may have gone a little mad myself.Artwork by the wonderful SeanSoong:deviantart.com/seansoongFor more music or to get in touch, find me onPatreon: patreon.com/AviatorsTwitter: twitter.com/Aviators84Twitch: twitch.tv/aviatorslivestreamDiscord: discord.gg/JWqXshBLyrics:Are you waking up afraidAre you brave enough to glance behind the curtainTo use the eyes insideHave you felt them in your sleepHave you seen them in a vision that's uncertainA dream outside your mindOnce come upon in and ancient landI've heard the tales of an unseen handMyths of the otherside that took my breath awayOut in the deep I've seen something realThe mouth of the void that the waves concealSpeaking low, as my thoughts draw near the frayWhen the currents carry onLifeless waves we float alongThere's a solemn depth belowDeeper truth I cannot knowOur own hastened time has comeIn this death our minds are youngWhen our bodies wash ashoreSorrow's children nevermoreAre you scared to look behindDo you feel the breath of sunken apparitionsAwake, impure, divineNow I'm sure they're coming soonIn the blackness my unholy friend has spokenThrough a shiver in my spineMy own senses wash awayI've let go of my eyesGrant me life beyond the veilFor this humble sacrificeYou're the next to float alongAs we all grow insaneLet the dream pull you belowNo more watchers will remainSo bring me close to youI want to be consumedI'm transcending yet aliveGrant me vision deep insideTransformed and unafraidThis earthly vessel fades
