  • This song was inspired by Kindred from @leagueoflegends but it's really about death. Be it an impossible tragedy or a long awaited relief, it comes for us all...

    Lyrics:
    Verse 1:
    Live your life like an angel
    Sell your soul to the devil
    Stand united or divided
    Doesn’t matter who you side with
    Check your life as the time slows
    Guiding hand coming in close
    Reunite with the bloodline
    Give your fears to the shadows
    Bridge 1:
    Don’t you know
    Don’t you know
    It’s the end of the road
    Don’t you know
    Don’t you know
    that it’s time to let go
    Chorus 1:
    Life is cruel, death is kind
    You can run, I stay behind
    you every step and I am
    always in the back on your mind
    Fade away, end in stride
    No escape as life subsides
    into the darkness
    My lust for life - satisfied
    Verse 2:
    Fold the hand you were given
    Pass your pain to the grieving
    Closing thoughts to believe in
    What’s the legacy you’re leaving?
    Are you ready to fade out?
    Did you deal with the self doubt?
    Have you made your mark on the earth and
    Hope you feel it was worth it
    Bridge 2:
    Don’t you know
    Don’t you know
    It’s the end of the road
    Don’t you know
    Don’t you know
    that it’s time to let go
    Chorus 2:
    Life is cruel, death is kind
    You can run, I stay behind
    you every step and I am
    always in the back on your mind
    Fade away, end in stride
    No escape as life subsides
    into the darkness
    My lust for life - satisfied
    My lust for life - satisfied
    Life is flashing ‘fore your eyes

    Easily my favorite line here is “you can run I stay behind you every step and I am always in the back of your mind”. For most people, this brings a feeling of dread, since you’re only one step away from death and can’t get rid of them no matter what. But for me, it’s almost a reassurance that, when you’ve done everything else and have ran out of life to live, death is always ready to accept you and bring you into whats next. It’s very beautiful

    This song probably became my favorite Falconshield song, even though it's so different from the previous ones. You perfectly captured the emotions and the meaning of Life & Death from Kindreds perspective. Not only in the lyrics, but in the music as well. I especially love the unstrumental parts just after the chorus which has a little uplifting feeling right after the word "satisfied" - this is so damn amazing. Thank you for this song!

    I can't help but imagine a 4 comic panel of a child suffering from war, drifting away to their death, is picked up, comforted, and embraced by Kindred as their tears stop falling and the smile comes back to their face which they hadn't experienced for months on end. Kindred understands their death but still is fuelled by disgust and anger knowing who took away the life of a child will live on for years

    • @xavierburval4128

      Technically lamb experiences no emotion, and wolf hardly understands them at all. They do their job and that’s it. Still, I can’t help but wish for the same thing

      @the_last_ballad Před 9 dny

      ​@@xavierburval4128 but because Kindred is both, I can still see Kindred reacting like that.
      Wolf feels yet doesn't understand, so he would be angry
      But lamb understands, yet does not feel, so her reaction would be easily interpeted as being disgust.
      Wolf: We should chase him down and tear out his throat!
      Lamb: No, it is not his time...

    Kindred always took a special place in my heart and with this and the new league cinematic I wrote a poem about kindred starting with this song's title, it's my first poem in english but didn't turn out as terrible as I thought it would here are the final results imo:
    Life is cruel, death is kind.
    Lamb is pure, wolf will bite.
    They are Kindred, an eternal spirit,
    Death, the grim reaper as you may call it.
    To leave this place, with a fulfilled heart.
    They shall guide you, when you depart.
    They are always there, one step away,
    A single mistake, you become their prey.
    Their hunt can last up to many moons,
    Chasing traces of blood, flesh and wounds.
    Lamb offers you a swift death by peace,
    If you refuse, you won't go out with such ease.
    The progress, what you made so far,
    You will lose it to an arrow or a claw.
    You can always accept your fate,
    Or struggle with your dull blade.
    You want rather peace or honor?
    Might be your last decision, to your horror.
    As death is knocking harder and harder,
    You hear your heart pounding even faster.
    Trying to resist, with your last breath,
    It suddenly stops, in the face of death.
    Your final thoughts as you fell down,
    "I guess I'm taking a visit to hell now."
    As your soul arrives into the other realm,
    Your mind slowly begins to overwhelm,
    It shocks you, puts you in awe,
    All of the choices you have ever made.
    They all led to this point, this exact moment,
    Everyone and everything shall meet true end.
    This time is no different, it's just your turn,
    Ready or not, once here, there's no return.
    So while you're alive, despite the struggle,
    It's a long adventure, well worth the trouble.
    You have to find out, how beautiful life is.
    Tomorrow is a mere hope, never a promise.

    Always another banger, this song definitely feels based on life. Life isn’t always fair and people are worrying about death too much and don’t really accept death. I myself can live with the fact that my live probably comes to an end eventually but i don’t really mind, i made memories from things i enjoyed or liked and will still make memories about the things to come. (Don’t worry, im only 18 so a lot of memories are still needed to be made).
    Cant wait for the next banger you drop and i hope it will either be aatrox, mordekaiser or aphelios!

  • @SpinBlackout
    @SpinBlackout Před 2 měsíci

    As someone who’s tried to end it all, I see life as a cruel struggle where we’re always tested, placed in the most unpredictable of situations. Life tests us like it’s just begging for us to give into its power, to let it win, to let it control us. Death is often seen as a dark presence, it takes those we hold dear, it is seen as unholy only because we can’t accept the loss.
    To everyone reading this, whether it’s today, a month from now, or in the passion go years, life doesn’t control you, tame it like it’s a wolf waiting to strike. Accept death for its natural occurrence and accept it as a simple lamb.
    Even though life is seen as soft and soothing to some, a simple blanket of a sheep’s wool, it’s still cruel and cold. Death may take those we love, but it’s with death we are reunited. Death may seem like the end, but at the end of every story, you get to read it all over again.

    At first I was wondering why the vocals weren't a woman's to represent Lamb but then I realized that the violins were Lamb, the guitars were wolf and the vocals were a mix of both. Lamb being the peacful death, and Wolf being the violent death. Never one, without the other.

    your music is simply incredible! It's a shame that I'm a Spanish speaker and can't understand the entire musical, it would be nice to have subtitles for Spanish, although I know it's a lot to ask for, it keeps getting better!
