At first, being a choir singer, I couldn't stand way Nick sings the titular lyric, but in time... it'd be cliche to say it grew on me, but I think it finally sunk in just what feelings he's trying to get across. He sounds like a warrior turned folk bard, and not some professional classically trained singer. It just... finally hit me how much more that adds to the emotional impact. I approve
Exactly! The more unrefined vocal performance give's it a more personal edge to it befitting about a song revolving around the cries of a battle torn warrior
No, those who deserve to live and those who no. Honestly, the lyrics are cool, just the choir(Battleborn) seems to break the rythm a lot. Should have been kept in a word and assigned to a chorus
Oh There is fire in the air that I'm breathing There is blood where the battles rage These are faces I will not remember Will I fight for the Queen or the slave? A treacherous part to play with our heart of courage Where the wind from the north blows the dragon And the armies and legions have fought We have camp for the night, for the cover Fading ghosts in the shadows of war Battleborn Battleborn Battleborn Battleborn Gone are the villagers, lead out of pasture The black wing of death as their leige Felt the ground, it was bare from the plunder Soldiers that lie at my feet The maidens were lost, waiting across an ocean On a ship heading south to the mainland I am standing in wait of the storm I was raised by the wolf and the stallion This sword was battleborn Battleborn Battleborn Battleborn Battleborn
"will I fight for the queen or the slave?" is my favorite line of the song because of the heavy morality it implies. basically do you do what you're supposed to do honorably and dutifully or do you disobey and do what you're not supposed to for justice and retribution
I just realized that a large amount of these lyrics sound like they could be song names by TSFH. "for the queen or slave" "armies and legions" "shadows of war" "black wing of death" "lay at my feet" "to the mainland" "wade across an ocean" "in the way of a storm" "the wolf and the stallion" though especially "heart of courage"
+anialator1000000 You know, I kind of can't believe that "Shadows of War" hasn't been used for one of their songs yet! It's just such a…TSFH-y title. I would not be surprised if in the future there were a song titled as such, possibly with a melodious reference to this song. ;) Most people haven't made the connection, but the title "Flight of the Silverbird" may very well be a reference to a line in Back to the Earth, "The flight of a sparrow will end, and the same goes for us." But it may not be, who knows. I do love it when they make those little references though, like in Sariel.
"The treacherous part, to play with a heart... of courage." I'm pretty sure a number of fans, along with me, were shuttering with nostalgia after hearing that. XD
What I love about the vocals are that they sound world weary, like an old fighter and that in itself tells its own story that really pushes the music to new heights.
RemoteSynergy Same here! Maybe people dislike it because they think it clashes with the beginning of the song? Something like that. Admittedly, it a very unexpected turn in the song lol, though I surprised at first, I've really grown to enjoy it. I hope other people will, too.
+Motormouth Chopper Battleborn. Because Skyrim was always part of the empire. *AND* Ulfrics Stormcloak is an impostor. Not only, that he killed the High King, he also made very special deals with the Thalmor in the past and that makes him an impostor. And a traitor to his so loved homeland Skyrim.
+Motormouth Chopper I once wanted to play on Stormcloak side (just one time, to know the difference), but as i was doing the main quest i found a the Thalmor note about Ulfric. I finished reading and was like: "Stormcloaks? nope nope nope nope nope, not going to happen now!"
+Windra dyne If you want, i can copy+paste the lines from the quote from the game itself or a wiki-site on the internet. I don't think, that i misread something, because i read that note nearly 10-15 times. Believe it or not, Ulfric is a liar. (Saying something like that about a fictional character...jeez...) Edit: i read it now one more time again (internet). The dossier says, that he was an asset to the thalmor, meaning, that when he came back to Skyrim and while the markarth incident happened, he was some sort of spy for the thalmor, but seems to went rogue after the incident, because (theory) he saw that he was doing a good job and wanted the cake all for himself. So, even if he wasn't a thalmor-spy anymore, when he fought Torygg, he sure as hell was a spy before that happened. And with the killing of the current high-king (Torygg) he got greedy and wanted to rule Skyrim all by himself, instead of allying with the empire troops and fight back the Thalmor in Skyrim. After killing Torygg, he only wanted power and thought that he - while being able to shout - is the next emperor. And sry, but i don't support power-greedy guys only because he can talk so fine.
If he was a spy they would have called him an agent. No, the Thalmor had him unwittingly bring Markarth back into the Imperial fold so that it could not become independent (the Imperials were about to let it secede). This means that the Thalmor can exercise their strength there, as anything that is not Imperial is untouchable. What made him become uncooperative was the revocation of the right to worship Talos in Markarth. This is what sent him wild with religious fervor. I think it strange that you say he's power-greedy given that he is one of the most selfless people in the game. Galmar: "Then let them die with their false kings!" Ulfric: "We've been soldiers a long time. We know the price of freedom, but people are still weighing things in their hearts." Galmar: "What's left of Skyrim to wager?" Ulfric: "They have families to think off..." He's empathetic, which I can't exactly say for Tullius (although he softens up near the end of the Imperial Campaign which is nice). The only people who call him power-hungry are those who've never met him (Snow-shod) and Imperial Agents (Brunwulf Free-winter). "A stormcloak victory is to be avoided." At the very least, the Thalmor consider a Skyrim ruled by Ulfric to be very bad for them.
To all who DON'T think that Nick ruined the music:There is fire in the air that I’m breathing There is blood where the battle’s rage These are faces I will not remember Will I fight for the Queen or the Slave A treacherous part to play with our heart of courage Where the wind from the north bows the dragon And the armies and legions have formed We have camp for the night through the cover Fading ghosts in the shadows of war Battleborne, battleborne, battleborne, battleborne Gone, all the villagers lead out to pasture The black wing of death as their liege Felt the ground; it was bare from the plunder The soldiers that lie at my feet The maidens were lost wading across an ocean On a ship heading south to the mainland I am standing in wake of the storm I was raised by the Wolf and the Stallion This sword was battleborne Battleborne, battleborne, battleborne, battleborne
At first. The lyrics were very "meh" to me. But after a while. It really grew on me, and now it's my favorite part of the song. TSFH. No matter what you do. Your music always wins me over.
I don't know what everyone is talking about, I have had the album since it was released, and this song and Star Sky have quickly become two of my favorite TSFH songs. I get sad when the instrumental version comes on instead of the vocals version.
I don't think the vocals ruined the song at all. In fact, it is my favorite part. At that point i envision the aftermath of a battlefield as Nick sings an ode to war that transpired there.......However the chorus on the other hand. I'm not one to question the gods of music, but i don't think "BAT........TLE.....BORNE!" should ever be said in 3 separate syllables like that
Bluetycon9 Nick does in fact sing. I'd say most of the male vocals you hear in their music is Nick singing. He doesn't just compose. He provided vocals in some songs in the Colin Frake album and he also sung in Back to Earth from Skyworld
I suppose I'm of the rare opinion that both his singing and the lyrics are really good. Admittedly, I didn't care for it at first, but it quickly grew on me. Same with Star Sky. And as a quick note to those that find the "ba-ttle-born" lyric awkward, the phrase is being syllabically emphasized. I don't think it should be perceived as being that strange a way of singing that phrase. To each their own, though.
Those who don't like the vocals in this song can stick it with the one without vocals! Don't worry! It's there on the album! I on the other hand like both versions, one of my favourite songs of Battlecry! Since I am a big fan of Les Friction and Globus, seeing TSFH going to that path, makes me so happy! Can't wait for your album with only vocal songs! Two composers with two different views on music and their writing in songs makes it nice and variable and exciting every album you listen to! Keep up the awesome! Because really, you guys are amazing!
~Lyrics~ ~I cant be the only one who wanted this.~ ~Here you go, also I am 100% aware there are incorrect lyrics but I couldnt understand what he was saying at some points~ (Starts at 1:32) Oh, there is fire in the air that I breath in. There is blood where the battles rage. These are faces I will not remember. Will I fight for the queen or the slave. The treacherous part to play with the heart of courage. Where the wind from the North boats the dragon. And the armies and the legions have formed. we have kept for the knight through the cover. Fading ghosts in the shadows of war. Battle born, Battle born, Battle born, Battle born. Gone, all the villagers let out the pasture, the black wing of death as their legue felt the ground it was bared from the plunder, soldiers that lie at my feet. The maidens were lost waiting across an ocean. On a ship heading south the the mainland. I am standing in the way of the storm. I was raised by the wolf and the stallion. This sword was battle born. Battle born, Battle Born, Battle Born, Battle Born. ~Feel free to correct the lyrics I had issues deciphering~
Me : I'm going to play this music quietly since its 10:25 at night Battleborne : "Oh, there is fire in the air that I'm breathing" Me : *Blasts volume up immediately with no hesitation*
+didyouhear111 +ILeikPie Both of you kids need to stop acting like you are 12 and get a grip. If their profile picture looks like shit to you, keep it to yourself. There's no need to stir up a shitstorm about their profile pic. Just say that silently to yourself and move on. Jesus Christ.
Raptor22 You talk about stirring shit up yet you're bringing back a conversation that ended almost 2 months ago. And it's as if you didn't read the conversation in the first place. Quit barging in here acting like the hero and the big truthful guy talking about me and some other guy being 12 year olds and to get a grip for stirring shit up yet here you are bringing back an old conversation. If you read it correctly I told two dick heads who were being a dick to a guy for no reason to fuck off. The last reply to the guy I made I was showing how easy it was to switch around his comeback. Nothing more.
I was born to battle. I was born as a fighter. My fate was to be a worrior. If it's my destiny, it shall be. I will fight for my kingdom. I shall fight as a worrior. I will fight for my citizens and innocents. I shall fight while seeing my friends die and I shall sacrifice my soul withought regret. If this is my fate then it sha be . "BattleBorne"
+Animal Beats TV "This is what we do, this is what we were born to do. This is all we were taught to do. We are fighters, soldiers and warriors. They outnumber us, they got us surrounded and they will take our lives. But know this they will go down with us. For we were born in battle. The beast inside us woke up when we spilled blood for the first time. They may take our lives but we will also take theirs. For we are Battleborne."
+Animal Beats TV Thank you :) Music like this always inspires me to write "epic" speeches. And when I saw yours I thought that might as well put my own here.
First time hearing: It would have been better without the words Second time: know what it’s not that bad Third time: OH THERE IS FIRE IN THE AIR THAT IM BREATHING
I've listened to this hundreds of times before even having an inkling that anyone could consider the singing poor form for TSFH. I cannot comprehend how anyone would think that. I love this song just as it is and wouldn't have it any other way.
Took a few tries for me to like this (which is oddly like many other TSFH songs). For some reason I really like the lines "These are faces I will not remember," "The black wing of Death as their liege" and "I was raised by the wolf and the stallion." I'm not one for poetry but I really liked those bits xD
+Merlyn Pyndragon Yeah, this was the first piece by 2steps I genuinely did not like the first time I heard it, but with time I've grown to appreciate many of the lyrics, even the vocalist appeals to me in his own way
Merlyn Pyndragon Give it time, I find something truly magical in that piece, but you have your own preferences so if it doesn't appeal, that's fine, life is too short for listening to music your "supposed" to like.
As with me. At first I didn't like the lyrics, but lately I've been falling in love with this song and now honestly prefer it over the instrumental. Funnily enough, after getting to love this, I tried Back to the Earth, and it's much easier to get into after this. Funny how some things happen like that with TSFH songs, for example, I thought Children of the Sun was "eh" at first but then later I realized OMG THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING. Same has happened with Battleborne here.
Just a heads up guys its Battleborne not Battleborn. If you're borne for something it means you're predestined for it, or heading towards it. So this could either mean he's predestined for battle or it could mean that he's actively heading towards it.
I'm honestly shocked to see such a negative reaction. When I first heard the lyrics I got excited, I've always been a Globus fan and was psyched to see TSFH trying a similar style.
Here come the purists who can't stand what is not orthodoxly epic. Well sorry, Nick's voice is great and fits in the mood of the song. Because, as it turns out, a TSFH song doesn't have to have as an objective 'be the most epic sound bashing song ever', if you think so your musical opinion is very close-minded.
Aeduh If someone doesn't like it, then they don't like it. One of the reasons people like TSFH is because of the music they usually create, and not this. With that said, I think it would be wise to rethink your statement, as this does not make someone closed-minded.
***** He is right though. It's a psychological reaction that makes them close minded, it's not completely their fault. Let me explain: first of all, it means TSFH is changing, evolving. People don't like change, it scares them, it makes them think everything will change, the reason is very simple. If you listened to the early works of Thomas and Nick you will NOT hear lyrics, but now they're appearing everywhere and who's been here for a while is starting to get worried. Have you ever wondered why you sit always at the same spot at school or anywhere else? It's because you're trying to find a "safe" place where you can't be disturbed and you feel good, because you think you have control over that feeling. Let's say I'm someone who tried to escape the boredom of pop, rap, or something mainstream. If you find music like this, you feel like you're in heaven, reason being, this genre of music is meant to transmit emotion through instruments alone, and my god doest it work! It's amazing. But when I start hearing lyrics (hearing not listening), I feel betrayed. Here starts the mechanism: I like TSFH, personally, a lot. Because the music allows me to see things I wouldn't normally, it's exactly because it's lyrics-less that it works so well, it doesn't try do direct your thoughts towards something through words, words are a constriction. When I first heard lyrics I felt something new was coming, the difference between someone who really enjoys epic music, "comes here for it" when it changes, and the safe spot is "contaminated" and don't like it automatically. Everyone has experienced this in a way or another. Can you imagine Taylor Swift switching to classical or heavy rock music? There would be a riot caused by her fans. Exactly because of the change mechanism.
LUCA SILVETTI Or it could be just because of our interests. I mean, I don't feel betrayed or anything. I just get annoyed, because I don't like lyrics.
***** Yes, it could be. But the mechanism exists to protect us, it's there for a reason. Some people have control over this, but the people who "come here for *insert anything*" are unfortunately affected by it. You are different from them, the proof is that you don't feel betrayed, just annoyed, as you said. But! Do you get annoyed by ALL songs here with lyrics? If yes, there you go. Mechanism in action. If no, shit, I think you beat one of humanity's worst weaknesses.
This is the perfect example of: "That one perfect epic music you're looking for, and you think you found it, only to be utterly ruined by one part (the singing in it)."
Para los Españolesxd [verso 1] Oh Hay fuego en el aire que estoy respirando Hay sangre donde rabian las batallas Estas son caras que no recordaré ¿Lucharé por la reina o el esclavo? Una parte traicionera Para jugar con un corazón de coraje Donde el viento del norte presagia el dragón Y los ejércitos y legiones se han formado Tenemos campamento para la noche, la comida y la tapa Fantasmas desvaídos en las sombras de la guerra [Coro] Battleborne Battleborne Battleborne Battleborne [versículo 2] Ido Todos los aldeanos salieron a pastar El ala negra de la muerte como su señor Sentí el suelo, estaba desnudo del saqueo Soldados que yacen a mis pies Las doncellas se perdieron Vadeando un océano En un barco que se dirige hacia el sur hasta el continente Estoy parado a raíz de la tormenta Fui criado por el lobo y el semental Esta espada fue una batalla [Coro] Battleborne Battleborne Battleborne Battleborne
Unfortunatly its still not available for public release. Though I would have like to see Bethesda and/or Obsidian give some real love to the project like man power or materials.
+sean simpson the reason they didn't remaster oblivion or morrowind is because the game engine is so old they would have to build a new one. that means starting from scratch and remaking the entire game. they did skyrim first because its easier and then they can get funding from that to remaster the other ones 😁 but like the CEO said they aren't a vending machine. they release games when the creative team is ready to. That way each game is awesome. unlike a certain companie that makes a new sucky game every year...
ah the moments like laying siege with 40 people against 400 hundred defenders to win like a god of war. and then realise that you the player killed over half of the enemies with your sword.
Standing on top of the hill, General Grant Jackson looked out at the Orc hordes lined up below him. Fifty million of them altogether. Compared to those vast numbers, his army of Five thousand were hopelessly outnumbered. Jackson took a deep breath. They were outnumbered, but not outclassed. The Phoenix legion was sometimes down, but never out. If they lost this battle, they would still rise from the ashes to fight again! The general drew his sword and raised it high. Behind him appeared the Phoenix legion. General Jackson shouted a mighty battlecry, joined a second later by his men. The general swung his sword forward and then he and the Phoenix legion charged, still bellowing the battlecry, into the Orc hordes.
Certes, le fait qu'il y ai des paroles à cette chanson peut être désagréable au début car cela surprend et on ne s'attend pas à en entendre dans une musique de TSFH mais j'ai pris le temps d'écouter et finalement ça ne rend pas si mal et c'est même agréable à écouter. Loin d'être une déception, cette musique est une réussite de la part de TSFH.
Slender Poulpe Je vois que je ne suis pas la seule surprise par les paroles, ça me rassure ^^ . Plus sérieusement, je suis de ton avis et j'apprécie beaucoup les paroles, ravie que quelqu'un d'autre que moi ne les rejette pas. Par contre, tu dis qu'on ne s'attend pas à des paroles, pourtant il y a beaucoup de chansons chantées, c'est loin d'être la première.
Slender Poulpe Pas trop d'accord perso, je trouve le chant décevant: c'est un peu trop mou pour une musique dans le thème du combat, y a pas de sentiment particulier comme la haine, la tristesse ou la rage de guerre. Le pire c'est le refrain "battleborne" où l'on a l'impression que le mec va s'endormir... C'est que mon avis personnel mais je trouve que ça aurait été 10 000 fois mieux si le chanteur était plus énergique parce que là les sentiments ne sont pas suffisamment mis en valeur :/
Benzaldéhyde en milieu acide Le fait que les paroles soient "molles" comme tu dis, peut aussi exprimer une certaine lassitude de la guerre et non l'envie de la faire, ce qui colle au titre (globalement traduit: La bataille endurée). Après, il est certain qu'avec un peu plus de conviction, faire passer des messages "anti-guerre" est possible aussi. Encore une fois, c'est mon avis personnel et je respecte celui de chacun.
I do not understand anyone, who tells that the vocals are terrible. I like Nick's singing - it is really exciting. Don't know, what do you think, but I really love it. It's sure a step to better.
it started out great but then the singing came in and it just...fell short. i usually don't mind singing in this kind of music, like Thomas Bergersen's song Children of the Sun, but the singing in this just killed it for me. i'm glad to see from the comments below that there's an instrumental version of this.
I bought this album on impulse and I do not regret spending a single penny of those $9.49. I am ADDICTED to some of the melodies in this album, but in the instrumental of this particular song, it's the piano melody @1:31 that keeps me coming back.
I don't understand why so much people are complaining about the lyrics. Here's a change, for sure, bu this still is celestial. It's a different style. And this sounds like the ending song of some film (like Neil Finn's song of the Lonely Mountain). Music make us braver Thank you
+Opalium so with those poems in red tower and stronger, faster, braver, have you made more for TSFH. I mean like ones for this, cannon in d minor, everlasting, ones like that. And if you could, tell me which ones cause I really like those.
Really good number of battlecry very strong, two steps that artist who sings this song? really very strong in music you brave !!!! I keep listening 4ever
YES. NICK IS SINGING. He also sings in Back to the Earth (Skyworld). Thomas also sings, and the only ones I know of with him doing it are Into Darkness (Illusions) and Where Are You? (single). (I know it will probably never happen, but imagine a song with both singing. 😱)

ok
You forgot about the inhales before the first few lines
"With a heart of courage..."
I see what you did there Two Steps. I approve ;)
That's why I love Nick!
At first, being a choir singer, I couldn't stand way Nick sings the titular lyric, but in time... it'd be cliche to say it grew on me, but I think it finally sunk in just what feelings he's trying to get across. He sounds like a warrior turned folk bard, and not some professional classically trained singer. It just... finally hit me how much more that adds to the emotional impact. I approve
Exactly! The more unrefined vocal performance give's it a more personal edge to it befitting about a song revolving around the cries of a battle torn warrior
and knowing is half the battle
*There are two types of people in this world:*
*The people who like the lyrics of Battleborn*
*And those who don't like the lyrics of Battleborn*
I am glad to be a part of the former.
They aren't particularly clever, but I find them to be extremely relevant to games like Skyrim and Wynncraft.
I like victory cuz it only has vocals.
Victory has lyrics too, in fact. But only the choir sings them; Merethe's part is just vocals.
No, those who deserve to live and those who no. Honestly, the lyrics are cool, just the choir(Battleborn) seems to break the rythm a lot. Should have been kept in a word and assigned to a chorus
"A treacherous part to play with our Heart of Courage"
ha
With a, not our

heart of courage :}
I thought it is claim, not play ;-)
Something wrong? I sense racism here...

There is blood where the battles rage

Gone
are the villagers, lead out of pasture
The black wing of death as their leige
Felt the ground, it was bare from the plunder
Soldiers that lie at my feet

I am standing in wait of the storm
I was raised by the wolf and the stallion

+redshades that's kinda depressing actually lol
"where the wind from the north "blows" the dragon"
LOL
its means the dragon blows the wind that comes from the north you senseless drone
Mad Donut No shit Sherlock, I was just kidding
+420 Steps From Hell Yea the official lyric video says that
"will I fight for the queen or the slave?" is my favorite line of the song because of the heavy morality it implies. basically do you do what you're supposed to do honorably and dutifully or do you disobey and do what you're not supposed to for justice and retribution
Best TSFH song ever I only listen to this one now XD it has the EPIC feel to it .
I just realized that a large amount of these lyrics sound like they could be song names by TSFH.
"for the queen or slave"
"armies and legions"
"shadows of war"
"black wing of death"
"lay at my feet"
"to the mainland"
"wade across an ocean"
"in the way of a storm"
"the wolf and the stallion"
though especially
"heart of courage"
+anialator1000000 You know, I kind of can't believe that "Shadows of War" hasn't been used for one of their songs yet! It's just such a…TSFH-y title. I would not be surprised if in the future there were a song titled as such, possibly with a melodious reference to this song. ;)
Most people haven't made the connection, but the title "Flight of the Silverbird" may very well be a reference to a line in Back to the Earth, "The flight of a sparrow will end, and the same goes for us." But it may not be, who knows. I do love it when they make those little references though, like in Sariel.
"For the Queen or the Slave" and " The Wolf and the Stallion" give off A Song of Ice and Fire vibes.
FOR QUEEN AND COUNTRY!
@@ashketchum6222 yessss
Holy crap your right
You can feel the epic atmosphere of this music in your soul!
HELL TO THE YEAH
"The treacherous part, to play with a heart... of courage."
I'm pretty sure a number of fans, along with me, were shuttering with nostalgia after hearing that. XD
What I love about the vocals are that they sound world weary, like an old fighter and that in itself tells its own story that really pushes the music to new heights.
I liked the vocals......
Same the vocals are just as epic as the music it's great
Tom L It's just a matter of personal preference
RemoteSynergy I also really enjoyed the lyrics. I think they add to the song.
RemoteSynergy Same here! Maybe people dislike it because they think it clashes with the beginning of the song? Something like that.
Admittedly, it a very unexpected turn in the song lol, though I surprised at first, I've really grown to enjoy it. I hope other people will, too.
lol
"Battleborn, gimme your money!" -Braith, a little pesky girl in Skyrim
+Motormouth Chopper Battleborn. Because Skyrim was always part of the empire. *AND* Ulfrics Stormcloak is an impostor.
Not only, that he killed the High King, he also made very special deals with the Thalmor in the past and that makes him an impostor. And a traitor to his so loved homeland Skyrim.
+Motormouth Chopper I once wanted to play on Stormcloak side (just one time, to know the difference), but as i was doing the main quest i found a the Thalmor note about Ulfric.
I finished reading and was like: "Stormcloaks? nope nope nope nope nope, not going to happen now!"
+Haggysack2k8
Read that note again... I don't think you understood it at the time.
+Windra dyne If you want, i can copy+paste the lines from the quote from the game itself or a wiki-site on the internet. I don't think, that i misread something, because i read that note nearly 10-15 times.
Believe it or not, Ulfric is a liar. (Saying something like that about a fictional character...jeez...)
Edit: i read it now one more time again (internet). The dossier says, that he was an asset to the thalmor, meaning, that when he came back to Skyrim and while the markarth incident happened, he was some sort of spy for the thalmor, but seems to went rogue after the incident, because (theory) he saw that he was doing a good job and wanted the cake all for himself.
So, even if he wasn't a thalmor-spy anymore, when he fought Torygg, he sure as hell was a spy before that happened. And with the killing of the current high-king (Torygg) he got greedy and wanted to rule Skyrim all by himself, instead of allying with the empire troops and fight back the Thalmor in Skyrim.
After killing Torygg, he only wanted power and thought that he - while being able to shout - is the next emperor.
And sry, but i don't support power-greedy guys only because he can talk so fine.
If he was a spy they would have called him an agent. No, the Thalmor had him unwittingly bring Markarth back into the Imperial fold so that it could not become independent (the Imperials were about to let it secede). This means that the Thalmor can exercise their strength there, as anything that is not Imperial is untouchable.
What made him become uncooperative was the revocation of the right to worship Talos in Markarth. This is what sent him wild with religious fervor.
I think it strange that you say he's power-greedy given that he is one of the most selfless people in the game.
Galmar: "Then let them die with their false kings!"
Ulfric: "We've been soldiers a long time. We know the price of freedom, but people are still weighing things in their hearts."
Galmar: "What's left of Skyrim to wager?"
Ulfric: "They have families to think off..."
He's empathetic, which I can't exactly say for Tullius (although he softens up near the end of the Imperial Campaign which is nice).
The only people who call him power-hungry are those who've never met him (Snow-shod) and Imperial Agents (Brunwulf Free-winter).
"A stormcloak victory is to be avoided."
At the very least, the Thalmor consider a Skyrim ruled by Ulfric to be very bad for them.
To all who DON'T think that Nick ruined the music:There is fire in the air that I’m breathing
There is blood where the battle’s rage
These are faces I will not remember
Will I fight for the Queen or the Slave
A treacherous part to play with our heart of courage
Where the wind from the north bows the dragon
And the armies and legions have formed
We have camp for the night through the cover
Fading ghosts in the shadows of war
Battleborne, battleborne, battleborne, battleborne
Gone, all the villagers lead out to pasture
The black wing of death as their liege
Felt the ground; it was bare from the plunder
The soldiers that lie at my feet
The maidens were lost wading across an ocean
On a ship heading south to the mainland
I am standing in wake of the storm
I was raised by the Wolf and the Stallion
This sword was battleborne
Battleborne, battleborne, battleborne, battleborne
Thank you much Bro :)
thank you again :)
Thank you again :D
At first. The lyrics were very "meh" to me. But after a while. It really grew on me, and now it's my favorite part of the song. TSFH. No matter what you do. Your music always wins me over.
I have't listened to this song in about 2 years and now i find myself knowing the whole song
wow this is super beautiful
I don't know what everyone is talking about, I have had the album since it was released, and this song and Star Sky have quickly become two of my favorite TSFH songs. I get sad when the instrumental version comes on instead of the vocals version.
I don't think the vocals ruined the song at all. In fact, it is my favorite part. At that point i envision the aftermath of a battlefield as Nick sings an ode to war that transpired there.......However the chorus on the other hand. I'm not one to question the gods of music, but i don't think "BAT........TLE.....BORNE!" should ever be said in 3 separate syllables like that
Belm Stray Completely and utterly agree with your last point.
Belm Stray His voice reminds of the slower paced songs from a band called Turisas.
Belm Stray I agree.. I like the lyrics.. makes a nice change to a TSFH song... but the Battleborne bit kinda ruins it...
Nick is the composer he doesnt sing
Bluetycon9
Nick does in fact sing. I'd say most of the male vocals you hear in their music is Nick singing. He doesn't just compose. He provided vocals in some songs in the Colin Frake album and he also sung in Back to Earth from Skyworld
THE VOCALS ARE THE BEST THING IN THIS SONG.
Such a good voice
This is probably one of my favorite Two Steps From Hell songs!! Gorgeous! The vocalist is incredible and the music is moving.
Holy crap a TSFH song with lyrics? O_O
LieutenantAlaki Check out the song Children of the Sun by Two Steps From Hell. It's really good, and it has lyrics!
LieutenantAlaki check out back to the earth as well, the lyrics are sooo good!
You should check out Sonera too.
LieutenantAlaki yes as the other dude says cheack the Back to the earth by TSFF,is the same singer...
LieutenantAlaki You must be new here
This is one of my favourites from Nick Phoenix. So many beautiful songs from both of them.
CZcams, for future reference *DON'T PUT 2 DIFFERENT UNSKIPPABLE ADS IN THE MIDDLE OF A MUSIC VIDEO!*
This is why adblock is your friend
I suppose I'm of the rare opinion that both his singing and the lyrics are really good. Admittedly, I didn't care for it at first, but it quickly grew on me. Same with Star Sky.
And as a quick note to those that find the "ba-ttle-born" lyric awkward, the phrase is being syllabically emphasized. I don't think it should be perceived as being that strange a way of singing that phrase. To each their own, though.
I'm in your opinion
Those who don't like the vocals in this song can stick it with the one without vocals! Don't worry! It's there on the album!
I on the other hand like both versions, one of my favourite songs of Battlecry!
Since I am a big fan of Les Friction and Globus, seeing TSFH going to that path, makes me so happy! Can't wait for your album with only vocal songs!
Two composers with two different views on music and their writing in songs makes it nice and variable and exciting every album you listen to!
Keep up the awesome! Because really, you guys are amazing!
Admittedly all lyrics portions in epic orchestral songs make me cringe.
This one is no exception.
The Dragoon Usually singing doesn't *fit* in orchestral songs, I admit, but it wasn't terrible. That's the best I can say for the singing.
The Dragoon There is an instrumental version on the album. So no worries :D
The Dragoon Agreed. The music was so well made, the singer was fine quality wise.. but it was just cringe worthy mixing the two.
Good thing there's an instrumental version. Is that Nick singing?
Jake J Where's the instrumental?
Best tsfh song. I love the lyrics and the eerie vibes this song gives. 10/10
Am I the only one who thought the singing in this was wonderful?
+Xero Amarth i love the vocal in this song
+Xero Amarth I love the singing but not the chorus, I'm not an expert but I don't think using BAT, TLE, BORNE as a chorus was the right move
no. I thought it was great too. I never expected 2 steps from hell to have lyrics (other than vocalization) in their music
Yeah. But i didn't find it so good...
Me too!
I gasped when I heard him say "heart of courage" x3
"Olfrid, patron of the great clan Battle-Born, a name I'm sure you know well."
Why do people hate the lyrics? They're the best part.
~Lyrics~
~I cant be the only one who wanted this.~
~Here you go, also I am 100% aware there are incorrect lyrics but I couldnt understand what he was saying at some points~
(Starts at 1:32) Oh, there is fire in the air that I breath in. There is blood where the battles rage. These are faces I will not remember. Will I fight for the queen or the slave. The treacherous part to play with the heart of courage. Where the wind from the North boats the dragon. And the armies and the legions have formed. we have kept for the knight through the cover. Fading ghosts in the shadows of war. Battle born, Battle born, Battle born, Battle born. Gone, all the villagers let out the pasture, the black wing of death as their legue felt the ground it was bared from the plunder, soldiers that lie at my feet. The maidens were lost waiting across an ocean. On a ship heading south the the mainland. I am standing in the way of the storm. I was raised by the wolf and the stallion. This sword was battle born. Battle born, Battle Born, Battle Born, Battle Born.
~Feel free to correct the lyrics I had issues deciphering~
okay there's a song for the battleborns now we need one for the grey manes
No.
lol
No. 😠
r u battleborn or greymane?
DragonHunter Oh god no, the battlebornes are assholes, i side with the grey manes every time
I am constantly amazed by the sophistication and power of the music you create.
The voice of Nick is just Wonderfull
The 234 dislikers have stones in their ears.
No. They turned their screen upside-down so they could add another like.
No, they were upside down
+iM3GTR this comment is older than youtube itself and has gone damn boring and somewhat annoying...
DJ Jaylex Like I give a fuck.
No becuz there is no 144p 😒
Reminds minds me of 'back to the earth' from skyworld
micah lamarche Idem :).
micah lamarche that was a classic
micah lamarche I think it is the same singer
RussinTirnaNog Nick usually sings in the songs he puts lyrics to.
+micah lamarche Back to The Earth got a lot of negative feedback tho, I'm glad this song is more well received. I love both of them!
As a huge fan of Les Friction and The Spiritual Machines, I am absolutely loving this! Great song! TSFH never dissapoints!
Me : I'm going to play this music quietly since its 10:25 at night
Battleborne : "Oh, there is fire in the air that I'm breathing"
Me : *Blasts volume up immediately with no hesitation*
The vocals are good, its the way he says "Battleborn" in the chorus that gets under my skin. He splits up the syllables too hard. "Baah- Tle Boooorn"
+XerionSouls You're right, I'd never managed to figure out what it was, exactly, that I don't like about the chorus - you nailed it.
+XerionSouls I think that was the point. They are trying to emphasize it, making it very punctual.
+didyouhear111 +ILeikPie
Both of you kids need to stop acting like you are 12 and get a grip. If their profile picture looks like shit to you, keep it to yourself. There's no need to stir up a shitstorm about their profile pic. Just say that silently to yourself and move on.
Jesus Christ.
Raptor22 You talk about stirring shit up yet you're bringing back a conversation that ended almost 2 months ago. And it's as if you didn't read the conversation in the first place. Quit barging in here acting like the hero and the big truthful guy talking about me and some other guy being 12 year olds and to get a grip for stirring shit up yet here you are bringing back an old conversation. If you read it correctly I told two dick heads who were being a dick to a guy for no reason to fuck off. The last reply to the guy I made I was showing how easy it was to switch around his comeback. Nothing more.
I think that you're just really butthurt about this.
The music itself was pretty awesome but those lyrics... damn. They were even better :)
I was born to battle. I was born as a fighter. My fate was to be a worrior. If it's my destiny, it shall be. I will fight for my kingdom. I shall fight as a worrior. I will fight for my citizens and innocents. I shall fight while seeing my friends die and I shall sacrifice my soul withought regret. If this is my fate then it sha be
. "BattleBorne"
Was it a good paragraph?
+Animal Beats TV "This is what we do, this is what we were born to do. This is all we were taught to do. We are fighters, soldiers and warriors. They outnumber us, they got us surrounded and they will take our lives. But know this they will go down with us. For we were born in battle. The beast inside us woke up when we spilled blood for the first time. They may take our lives but we will also take theirs. For we are Battleborne."
+Aleksi Heija nice
+Animal Beats TV Thank you :) Music like this always inspires me to write "epic" speeches. And when I saw yours I thought that might as well put my own here.
+Aleksi Heija You should read opalium's speeches. he writes on all of TSFH songs.he is awesome.
I fight for the north, freedom and justice
and then get beheaded by a bitch
Eddard Stark I fight for honor,glory and power, and cuz I like it. Hear me Roar!
I love this music, thank you! Exactly what I've been looking for
First time hearing: It would have been better without the words
Second time: know what it’s not that bad
Third time: OH THERE IS FIRE IN THE AIR THAT IM BREATHING
I just can't find words to express how wholesome this song is. Amazing!!
Maybe it is just me...but I actually like the vocals...especially the first minute ( 1:30 - 2:30) sounds epic.
I love the vocals, they're the reason I love this so much compared to all my other favs from TSFH it stands out
I was born to listen to this live. LIVE!
I've listened to this hundreds of times before even having an inkling that anyone could consider the singing poor form for TSFH. I cannot comprehend how anyone would think that. I love this song just as it is and wouldn't have it any other way.
This song is amazing! It's one of my favorites of this album
soo, uhm how does this not have at least 1 million views let alone a billion???
This is my new favorite in this album! Battlecry is awesome!
“Will I fight for the queen or the slaves?”
Jon Snow
“She is ma queen”!!!
To all the people complaining about the lyrics:
DO. NOT. WORRY.
On the iTunes album there is an instrumental version!
From 0:00 to 1:05= EPICNESS!
Long live TSFH!
(I prefer the no-vocals version though :) ).
This song is just TSFH trying to make as many puns with their song names as possible(Heart of Courage, Stallion, etc) . Love it.
Took a few tries for me to like this (which is oddly like many other TSFH songs). For some reason I really like the lines "These are faces I will not remember," "The black wing of Death as their liege" and "I was raised by the wolf and the stallion." I'm not one for poetry but I really liked those bits xD
+Merlyn Pyndragon Yeah, this was the first piece by 2steps I genuinely did not like the first time I heard it, but with time I've grown to appreciate many of the lyrics, even the vocalist appeals to me in his own way
Hazardous Bill Still haven't taken a liking to Star Sky though.
Merlyn Pyndragon Give it time, I find something truly magical in that piece, but you have your own preferences so if it doesn't appeal, that's fine, life is too short for listening to music your "supposed" to like.
Hazardous Bill Like the "Hits" they play to death on the radio ._.
As with me. At first I didn't like the lyrics, but lately I've been falling in love with this song and now honestly prefer it over the instrumental. Funnily enough, after getting to love this, I tried Back to the Earth, and it's much easier to get into after this. Funny how some things happen like that with TSFH songs, for example, I thought Children of the Sun was "eh" at first but then later I realized OMG THIS IS FREAKING AMAZING. Same has happened with Battleborne here.
Just a heads up guys its Battleborne not Battleborn. If you're borne for something it means you're predestined for it, or heading towards it. So this could either mean he's predestined for battle or it could mean that he's actively heading towards it.
I'm honestly shocked to see such a negative reaction. When I first heard the lyrics I got excited, I've always been a Globus fan and was psyched to see TSFH trying a similar style.
I don't get why people keep saying that the singing kills the song. The singing just adds another layer of depth to the amazing story of the music.
why the other people think that the vocals ruined the music? i dont think so, cause i like the vocals.
I love vocals alot!
Seriously this song is my favorite of them because of the lyrics.
274 Greymane descendents disliked this.
CosmicCheetah I know i would dislike it too if i was a greymane, the battleborns are complete assholes
Silver-Bird Gaming They are, honestly.
CosmicCheetah damn those Greymanes to Oblivion!
Hail the empire!
Shit, 334 now, those gray manes have sex fast.
It's Time my Brothers!!!! Come with me!!!! We will fight for good with Courage and we will win!!!!!
Here come the purists who can't stand what is not orthodoxly epic. Well sorry, Nick's voice is great and fits in the mood of the song. Because, as it turns out, a TSFH song doesn't have to have as an objective 'be the most epic sound bashing song ever', if you think so your musical opinion is very close-minded.
Aeduh If someone doesn't like it, then they don't like it. One of the reasons people like TSFH is because of the music they usually create, and not this. With that said, I think it would be wise to rethink your statement, as this does not make someone closed-minded.
***** He is right though. It's a psychological reaction that makes them close minded, it's not completely their fault.
Let me explain: first of all, it means TSFH is changing, evolving. People don't like change, it scares them, it makes them think everything will change, the reason is very simple. If you listened to the early works of Thomas and Nick you will NOT hear lyrics, but now they're appearing everywhere and who's been here for a while is starting to get worried. Have you ever wondered why you sit always at the same spot at school or anywhere else? It's because you're trying to find a "safe" place where you can't be disturbed and you feel good, because you think you have control over that feeling. Let's say I'm someone who tried to escape the boredom of pop, rap, or something mainstream. If you find music like this, you feel like you're in heaven, reason being, this genre of music is meant to transmit emotion through instruments alone, and my god doest it work! It's amazing. But when I start hearing lyrics (hearing not listening), I feel betrayed.
Here starts the mechanism: I like TSFH, personally, a lot. Because the music allows me to see things I wouldn't normally, it's exactly because it's lyrics-less that it works so well, it doesn't try do direct your thoughts towards something through words, words are a constriction. When I first heard lyrics I felt something new was coming, the difference between someone who really enjoys epic music, "comes here for it" when it changes, and the safe spot is "contaminated" and don't like it automatically. Everyone has experienced this in a way or another.
Can you imagine Taylor Swift switching to classical or heavy rock music? There would be a riot caused by her fans. Exactly because of the change mechanism.
LUCA SILVETTI Or it could be just because of our interests. I mean, I don't feel betrayed or anything. I just get annoyed, because I don't like lyrics.
***** Yes, it could be. But the mechanism exists to protect us, it's there for a reason. Some people have control over this, but the people who "come here for *insert anything*" are unfortunately affected by it. You are different from them, the proof is that you don't feel betrayed, just annoyed, as you said. But! Do you get annoyed by ALL songs here with lyrics? If yes, there you go. Mechanism in action. If no, shit, I think you beat one of humanity's worst weaknesses.
LUCA SILVETTI I listen to some songs with lyrics in them, but not any from TSFH.
This is the perfect example of:
"That one perfect epic music you're looking for, and you think you found it, only to be utterly ruined by one part (the singing in it)."
This song needs a music video.
Spartan S-419 very true
Para los Españolesxd
[verso 1]
Oh
Hay fuego en el aire que estoy respirando
Hay sangre donde rabian las batallas
Estas son caras que no recordaré
¿Lucharé por la reina o el esclavo?
Una parte traicionera
Para jugar con un corazón de coraje
Donde el viento del norte presagia el dragón
Y los ejércitos y legiones se han formado
Tenemos campamento para la noche, la comida y la tapa
Fantasmas desvaídos en las sombras de la guerra
[Coro]
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
[versículo 2]
Ido
Todos los aldeanos salieron a pastar
El ala negra de la muerte como su señor
Sentí el suelo, estaba desnudo del saqueo
Soldados que yacen a mis pies
Las doncellas se perdieron
Vadeando un océano
En un barco que se dirige hacia el sur hasta el continente
Estoy parado a raíz de la tormenta
Fui criado por el lobo y el semental
Esta espada fue una batalla
[Coro]
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
Battleborne
man,the lyrics of the song make me think about game of thrones slaves,queen... north,dragons hahah
Such a Masterpiece! Thank you Nick!
did you mean 'Dragonborne?
What?!? nobody told me.
It was Morrowind for me on the Xbox god I love that game. Wish Skywind or whatever would hurry the hell up, I think its still being worked on.
Unfortunatly its still not available for public release. Though I would have like to see Bethesda and/or Obsidian give some real love to the project like man power or materials.
Exactly I would happly pay £30 for a remastered morrowind or oblivion and I think that alot of others would as well.
+sean simpson the reason they didn't remaster oblivion or morrowind is because the game engine is so old they would have to build a new one. that means starting from scratch and remaking the entire game. they did skyrim first because its easier and then they can get funding from that to remaster the other ones 😁 but like the CEO said they aren't a vending machine. they release games when the creative team is ready to. That way each game is awesome. unlike a certain companie that makes a new sucky game every year...
This is one of my favourite songs ever! One of the best songs from TSFH! :D
if you have played mount & Blade: warband you will probably identify with this song
ah the moments like laying siege with 40 people against 400 hundred defenders to win like a god of war. and then realise that you the player killed over half of the enemies with your sword.
Away with you, Vile beggar!
Standing on top of the hill, General Grant Jackson looked out at the Orc hordes lined up below him. Fifty million of them altogether. Compared to those vast numbers, his army of Five thousand were hopelessly outnumbered. Jackson took a deep breath. They were outnumbered, but not outclassed. The Phoenix legion was sometimes down, but never out. If they lost this battle, they would still rise from the ashes to fight again! The general drew his sword and raised it high. Behind him appeared the Phoenix legion. General Jackson shouted a mighty battlecry, joined a second later by his men. The general swung his sword forward and then he and the Phoenix legion charged, still bellowing the battlecry, into the Orc hordes.
Certes, le fait qu'il y ai des paroles à cette chanson peut être désagréable au début car cela surprend et on ne s'attend pas à en entendre dans une musique de TSFH mais j'ai pris le temps d'écouter et finalement ça ne rend pas si mal et c'est même agréable à écouter.
Loin d'être une déception, cette musique est une réussite de la part de TSFH.
Slender Poulpe Je vois que je ne suis pas la seule surprise par les paroles, ça me rassure ^^ . Plus sérieusement, je suis de ton avis et j'apprécie beaucoup les paroles, ravie que quelqu'un d'autre que moi ne les rejette pas. Par contre, tu dis qu'on ne s'attend pas à des paroles, pourtant il y a beaucoup de chansons chantées, c'est loin d'être la première.
Slender Poulpe Pas trop d'accord perso, je trouve le chant décevant: c'est un peu trop mou pour une musique dans le thème du combat, y a pas de sentiment particulier comme la haine, la tristesse ou la rage de guerre. Le pire c'est le refrain "battleborne" où l'on a l'impression que le mec va s'endormir...
C'est que mon avis personnel mais je trouve que ça aurait été 10 000 fois mieux si le chanteur était plus énergique parce que là les sentiments ne sont pas suffisamment mis en valeur :/
Benzaldéhyde en milieu acide Le fait que les paroles soient "molles" comme tu dis, peut aussi exprimer une certaine lassitude de la guerre et non l'envie de la faire, ce qui colle au titre (globalement traduit: La bataille endurée). Après, il est certain qu'avec un peu plus de conviction, faire passer des messages "anti-guerre" est possible aussi. Encore une fois, c'est mon avis personnel et je respecte celui de chacun.
Ah ouais de la lassitude ça peut être ça, c'est pas con!

I do not understand anyone, who tells that the vocals are terrible. I like Nick's singing - it is really exciting. Don't know, what do you think, but I really love it. It's sure a step to better.
It reminds me of Mordor
Gabriel B. Piñeiro It reminded me of Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition. :)
Are these movies ? I didnt watch them

I dond care if i have to spent eternity in hell as long as i listen 2steps from hell
It was so excellent!...until 1:30 ,_,
Accidentally left youtube on 2x speed before going to this video. I was not ready for this level of intense.
Sounds like Stairway to Heaven
Is this Two Steps From Heaven ?
The harmonies my goodness are amazing
it started out great but then the singing came in and it just...fell short. i usually don't mind singing in this kind of music, like Thomas Bergersen's song Children of the Sun, but the singing in this just killed it for me. i'm glad to see from the comments below that there's an instrumental version of this.
There is also a instrumental version of children of the sun, it's called "None shall live";)
chibimidget Can you give me a name of the "no lyrics" version if you have one?
MatzeGamer on the album it's name is battleborne instrumental;)
Chion von Steinheim I need to wait for the CD to arrive, thanks^^
Chion von Steinheim
oh i'll have to check the out, thank you! :D
I think, today is a good day since a long time ^^ sitting sick in the bed, healthy breakfast, drawing and hearing two steps from hell
Suck it, Graymanes!
(Kudos to you if you got it)
hehe Skyrim
Got ya! Battleborns 4ever! FUS RO DAH! TALOS PRESERVE YOU BROTHER
I bought this album on impulse and I do not regret spending a single penny of those $9.49. I am ADDICTED to some of the melodies in this album, but in the instrumental of this particular song, it's the piano melody @1:31 that keeps me coming back.
Will there be, by chance, an instrumental version of this?
There is now!
I like this with lyrics gives the piece more feeling
Greymane or Battleborne
I will take the fuck -both- of -your -factions faction
I don't understand why so much people are complaining about the lyrics. Here's a change, for sure, bu this still is celestial. It's a different style. And this sounds like the ending song of some film (like Neil Finn's song of the Lonely Mountain).
Music make us braver
Thank you
1:30 Why?! Nick Phoenix why?!
I was raised by the wolf and the stallion. This is the best part. 😍
People who can barely write in english complaining about a song having lyrics, sigh*
Fun fact: Nick Phoenix, the one who composed this track, is also the one singing those vocals.
+Opalium And he did a very good job doing that. He's also the one who plays the piano in "Freedom Ship".
+Opalium so with those poems in red tower and stronger, faster, braver, have you made more for TSFH. I mean like ones for this, cannon in d minor, everlasting, ones like that. And if you could, tell me which ones cause I really like those.
+Riley Coombe I did. Take a look at my Google+ page, I've collected them all there.
that explains the less awesomeness, Bergersen didn't compose this!
I suggest you listel to Neverdark by Nick Phoenix: it is one of my favourite TSFH tracks
Tyler Bartlett Ouch.
Really good number of battlecry very strong, two steps that artist who sings this song? really very strong in music you brave !!!! I keep listening 4ever
STAHP WITH DA LYRICS!!! (-_-)
Is Nick Phoenix singing. IS NICK PHOENIX SINGING?! WHY AM I JUST NOW DISCOVERING THIS SONG?! LOVE.
YES. NICK IS SINGING. He also sings in Back to the Earth (Skyworld).
Thomas also sings, and the only ones I know of with him doing it are Into Darkness (Illusions) and Where Are You? (single).
(I know it will probably never happen, but imagine a song with both singing. 😱)
+HappyBear801 - of the Epic I just listened to them! I would die of happiness if they sang together! 😍
+dr. Light My legs would tremble, I would unsheathe my sword, stick it into the ground, and kneel down and bow my head before such a spectacle.
+HappyBear801 - of the Epic I'd straight up fall out and weep tbh lol!
+dr. Light Thomas, Nick, MAKE IT HAPPEN SOMEDAY.
