  • My adventure through the Dark Souls series certainly was a memorable one. Aside from the infamous difficulty, I found myself captivated by the lore (shout out to VaatiVidya) and blown away by the game design that chooses to let you experience the setting and the world you're in, rather than telling it. As with most lore-heavy games that I get sucked into, this one inspired a song. "Fading Light" is a requiem for the first flame, a song of victory but acceptance of the inevitable darkness. Sure, it may be more of a "Dark Souls III" song than for the series in general, but that's mostly due to the recent release of The Ringed City. Fear not the dark, my friend, and let the feast begin...
    This is the second single from my next album Dystopian Fiction, and you can download it here!

    Lyrics:
    Life's breath in the candlelight
    Lost hearts in the dead of night
    It's a long way down
    To the place they found
    Dark sun, hollowed by the fade
    Our debt they left to be paid
    Seen the blackness stare
    Promising to spare
    The chosen
    Born of graves and left below
    Painted ashes, painted snow
    When the dark awakens
    Fires of our last hope are getting low
    Souls of gods and souls of men
    Meet in cinders to ascend
    Fate has chosen
    And our fading light is at its end
    I've a tale that time has lost
    Sins of judgment born in frost
    Then he took a name
    For the one profaned
    Know the dark but let it rest
    Left to lurkers in their quest
    Let the watchers fight
    And the blood ignite
    The chosen
    Souls to revive us
    Or rot us away
    Want for the weary
    And death for the sane
    Cursed yet we listen
    For bells left to toll
    To fight back the depths of
    Humanity's soul
    For the unkindled
    We look to the sun
    Cities in gold
    All the victories won
    Fear not the dark
    Or the monsters, my friend
    And brace for the feast
    Of humanity's end

      In souls in general, Soul of CInder's transition to phase 2, or the entire boss fight with Gael. If we shall include bloodborne, hand's down Ludwig. The music, the cutscene, the lore... All of it amazing. But I do love finding blind bossfights with SoC and seeing the reactions to the musical shift

      Honestly, I think its more of a lore reference. The Abyss Watchers fought the Abyss in the memory of Artorias, to finish what Knight Artorias started long long ago. Its more of a lore reference that 'don't disturb the watchers. Let them fight the Abyss alone.'

    I just realised that "Our fading light is at its end" Is not only a reference to DS1, but also DS3 as in the first game when you light the fire, it's a massive explosion of fire, but in DS3 when you link the fire, it's just a small flame that barely covers the unkindled. The first fire is pathetically week and close to the end of its life at this point

    • @jonnyblade3234
      @jonnyblade3234 Před 3 lety +158

      The ashen ones are made of the ashen remains of those who linked the fire but were to weak to survive. They are only crated as none are left who are fit to link the flame. The reason that the flame is so small after an ashen one links the flame is because they've already done it once. Linking the flame a second time merely consumes what little was left from the first time

    • @Voldine2
      @Voldine2 Před 3 lety +53

      Just looking at the image for the song should tell you this song was written with DS3 in mind even if there are lyrics applicable to the first game. That ledge there and the background are ripped directly from the beginning of The Ringed City, the final DLC.

      @@jonnyblade3234 well it also consumes all the souls- the ashen one and all undead for that matter are just vessels were stronger and stronger souls gather, it is not the body that burns bit the soul. And as the fucker who defeated all the previous lords and stole their souls has a pretty large soul. It is likely just that the world itself has burned out/and or the fire just grew naturally weaker with its unnatural prolongation

    • @titanfall3news913
      @titanfall3news913 Před 3 lety +54

      The souls series is about the fact that no matter what you choose it ends in the same result. In ds1 there was another who would link the flame if the chosen undead failed and in 3 it flips that concept no matter what you chose to do the flame dies.

    • @nathan.w4981

      Think about it. Even with everything dying and going to shit. Humanity is still around. Standing in the ashes of gods and demons.
      Gods, Dragons and Demons have risen thousands of times. Fought and burned .
      Yet the last battle is fought by two humans. Standing in the ashes and ruins of old. Fighting over the last bit of humanity left. All in all we won.

      ​@@Animefan1803 i see your point but a few things the soul of cinder at the end is technically not human it is the accumulation of every person who has linked the fire in the majority humans have yes but in his second phase it reverts to gywn a "god" this is showing that just like in ds1 he is still clinging to his flase hope of the age of fire lasting forever when we kdefeat the soul of cinder we have three choices 1.link the fire and keep the cycle going for however long it takes for the fire to go out this time 2.let the fire die and let the beckon in the age of dark 3. take the fire for our self and well we dont know what happens after that from what we know we would have the power of the soul of cinder so we would become the flames guardian just like how it did depending on what ending you got and what your view on dark souls politics are you can say that "we won" but from my perspective there is only one ending we win and even that is nihilistic if we link the fire then we are just keeping the age of fire alive for how many years it will go on fully knowing it gets shorter with each link and stopping the natural progression of ages so you follow in gwyn's ways if we take the fire for our self the same outcome the age of fire keeps going but in what i see as the best ending is letting the fire die and letting the dark take control in ds1 and parts of ds3 it talks about how the world has ages first was the age of dragons then the age of fire and then there was meant to be the age of dark but the linking of the fire kept that from happening and the age of dark is also known as the age of humanity since humanity harbors the dark soul hence it being dubbed "the dark soul of man" so with letting fire die humanity is no longer ruled by false gods or royalty they are free to roam without fear from the gods yet even in this "best" ending the world is in a blanket of pure darkness just as the chaos flame made life just as the first flame made life so can the abyss yet that life will just wounder without purpose,without reason humanity just like the gods and just like the dragons before are not important in any way each player is nothing they are just specs a moment in time that was great for a moment but will be forgotten about as the next age passes you can see it when you fight all these dragons with names and history even syth the father of sorcery but what do we know about there age other thne the gods killing them next to nothing and thats the point they were forgotten just how in the age of dark the gods will be forgotten and in the next age humanity will be forgotten and also yes dragons are gone (kinda since there are a lot of dragons still around and in dranglek there is a whole kingdom full of them but that depends if you wanna count ds2 as cannon or not ) and demons are gone but that just adds to the depressing mood of it all the dragons had lives and the gods took that all away killed each one of them if they did not serve them the giant were used as slaves and the demons as well yes are dead mostly but in the chaos flame where most saw hate and gwyn saw heresy it created life it created demons they just roamed there lands had a society even just how the gods would or how humans would but even then whoever wanted power (in this case the player from ds1) took that from them killed all daughters of chaos and then the bed of chaos what in tern made the demons run from there home and eventually die out and even in ds3 the last demon king we get to fight he fights with all his will and when he is nearly dead he uses all of his energy to try and kill us after that he cant even stand just trying to bat us away to stop us so yes humanity out lived them but they will be forgotten as well because the story is not about humanity it is about the world there in how ages must past and how men(gwyn ) will always try to prolong power at any cost

      Technically the entire world is already destroyed when you meet Gael.
      So my point stands. The last battle is fought between 2 humans in the ashes of the gods.
      So while yes, there´s no world we inherit. Which is also not the point. Humanity stripped itself from the slavery of the gods, perfectly capable of creating a new world within the paintings. We may have destroyed the world in the process, but we freed ourself from the tyranny of false idols. Which given the situation, i see as an absolute win.

    we were all been fooled, thinking the Fire is our answers...

    Like moths drawn to flame...
    Unkindled ashes seeketh ember,
    Hollowed seeketh humanity.
    Hear ye, hear ye:
    The Fire is not the answer, but our suffering...
    The Abyss is not man's heritage, for it is our insanity...
    To snuff out the flame is not to doom the world...
    ...but to end this eternal cycle of suffering.
    To snuff out the flame is not to welcome Abyss...
    ...for the Dark is our Heritage.
    Fear the Fire, embrace the Dark,
    but not to let both consumeth thee...
    Humanity are more than that...
    The Flame are fading, the Dark remains,
    For those still seeketh hope, however fickle maybe,
    Find the painting world, crackling in flame,
    A cold, dark, gentle place awaits thee...
    ...a new beginning await thee...
    ...to begin again.

    I just want to say that I only played Dark Souls 2 before, and the intro with the minimal background that left me confused about what I was even doing in that game didn't help. I quit after only an hour's playtime when I saw that no more solid info was coming out about what the game and all this flame and darksign bullshit npc's kept talking about was. I never looked back, considering it as simply a fad of a game, only interesting for how hard it supposedly was.
    Years later and I came upon this piece of music.
    The love, care, and pure emotion this song soared hit me hard. After listening to the song a few dozen times, I quickly found and installed Dark Souls 3, determined to see with my own eyes what inspired this song that haunted me. Even having finished it, this song always hovered above, coloring my experience, and I realized that everything I met, felt, and learned in the game (which was amazing) I already had because of this song. And I have to say, this wasn't a bad thing at all.
    Just... Just thank you, man. Thank you for this experience. This is a song I will never be able to forget. Thank you.

      Dark Souls 2 I actually feel fits the whole sort of "reality is coming undone" theme that we see at the end of DS3, due to they way DS2's map is laid out. I would recommend beating all of the other games before playing/beating the final boss and final DLC of DS3, if you are able to.

    • @aegis5986
      @aegis5986 Před 6 lety +2

      Austin Fridenberg It actually does follow the lore of the other game though? It's just on the opposite side of the world. Manus's offspring are the 4 Queens, Chaos is there, the choice of fire or dark but knowing that choice will be undone by the next, the old souls being in the 4 major bosses in the game, etc. It just offers something different. The flame may not be there but the throne links to the flame. It repeats some lore things 1 had and foreshadows some of which happen in 3. All the lands merged together by the time of 3, so some NPCs being there from 2 in 3 and Ringed City using things from it. Even hollowing system is the same but goes more in depth of how hollowing makes you go insane after a while. Where as in 1 everyone slowly loses it around us and we stay fine.

    "You've come a long way, 'Chosen One'." said the Pale One with a grin behind his mask. "The Spirit of Cinder awaits beyond the final gate of this twisted landscape, but first... Did you come here to break the chain, or to keep the flame alive? Think carefully. Your answer will determine your survival. I will assist you with this malevolent Soul, but if you wish to perpetuate this charade of Fire, I will destroy you. The Fire. Must. Die." The Unkindled did not answer, instead gripping the hilt of his blade tight and facing the wall of fog. Xelion stood beside his temporary ally, scythe in hand as they pass through to face the Defender of the Flame together, at least, until they inevitably try to kill each other.

    I absolutly love this song, it fits incedibly well with the souls games and contains so many references to the games. The song captures the feeling of the souls games, both the epic and the melancholic parts and i just love it

    I just need to listen to this so many times for day. Hits so much more if you played Dark Souls. Thanks for this masterpiece

    This song is amazingly fitting, an excellent fit for the Dark Souls series.

    This came on auto play for me, and I was just thinking how perfect it fit the Dark Souls games before I read the title/description, GG my dude.
