It Matters Not How Strait The Gate I Am The Master Of My Fate I Am The Captain Of My Soul

bro you better than naktigonis %100🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

to hell with this my insanity is shattered I will have no need for this song no more

pov: average sad intro in a medieval game where some tragedy happened before.

The wanderer revisits old memories he vowed to bury and never dig up again.

Making one last attempt to finally lay the haunting echoes of his past to rest.

In the deep, Where they belong now.

To Sleep, Forever (Deepwoken Fan OST)

We walk the fragile paths that join the world as one, that rest upon the valiant efforts of the past. On the shoulders of giants we cautiously tread.

In time, the path ahead shall end, as it already has to those who walked before us.

Then, none will walk. None will remain.
We will have been the last.

-----

this track is a medley of the first four contours of 'To Sleep, Dreaming', combined with the song's scrapped segments. i put it together to commemorate the launch of Deepwoken.

it's hard to believe it's been two years since the work on the project began. it has been a long and bumpy road, but we're finally here.

a sincere thank you goes out to the Deepwoken team for being the most talented and excellent team of people i've had the pleasure of working with.

and of course, my greatest gratitude goes to Raguza & Arch_Mage, for giving me an opportunity to develop and grow as an artist over these past 2 years. the Deepwoken Original Soundtrack is as much their labour as it is mine - for without their guidance, i would not be where i am today.

dear friends and comrades, i hope to continue working with all of you on future excellence, for as long as we shall! 🥂

On The Shoulders Of Giants

The Gideshu March is a popular marching song of the Central Authority - the iron-fisted guardians of the Central Luminant. Written in the year 1180 by August Gideshu, an Authority officer, the march quickly became popular among the rank and file soldiers, with many regiments choosing the song as their marching tune. Some even consider it to be the Authority's unofficial anthem - though the Authority elites' stance on this is not entirely clear.

-------

i got bored and decided to make some vent music. yes, for the imperialist faction. lo-fi beats to commit warcrimes to ;)

this is the theme representing the Central Authority in the game - or at least a vocal reinterpretation of the theme by me. sometimes when i write melodies for Deepwoken, i like to come up with accompanying lyrics (fun fact, the Summer Company theme also has lyrics for it).

if you listen closely, you can hear the refrain part ('We would give our lives for the cause') play in the Starswept Valley ambience on guitar. B)

consider this a little something to make up for the fact that the Deepwoken OST Vol. 1 isn't out yet - things are taking a little longer than i would've liked(i literally only have the ferryman phase 1 & 2 tracks to remaster to be able to release the OST. but the FL Studio project files for those are SO LAGGY)! but i'm very close to wrapping up the release. expect some sort of announcement within the coming week.

LYRICS

We're masters of the oceans wide,
Custodians of relentless tide!
For the Authority we fight -
Within this dark a blazing light.

Hurrah, hurrah, three cheers for the cause!
We truth uphold, and also laws!
For the many, the few, the big, the small -
We would give our lives for the cause!
We would give our lives for the cause!

We're wardens of the valiant dead,
From shore to shore our boots will tread!
The furthest reaches we shall tame,
Bring order, peace, Adretian fame!

Hurrah, hurrah, three cheers for the cause!
We truth uphold, and also laws!
For the many, the few, the big, the small -
We would give our lives for the cause!

Hurrah, hurrah, three cheers for the cause!
We truth uphold, and also laws!
For the many, the few, the big, the small -
We would give our lives for the cause!
We would give our lives for the cause!

The Gideshu March (Bonus Track)

IUDEX ERGO CUM SEDEBIT,
QUIDQUID LATET, APPAREBIT:
NIL INULTUM REMANEBIT.

[...]

IUSTE IUDEX ULTIONIS,
DONUM FAC REMISSIONIS
ANTE DIEM RATIONIS.

( - a segment from the 'Dies Irae', a Gregorian chant)

Lacrimosa Dies Illa

we dance a burning sarabande,
the steps of a farruca grand.
the air grows frosty, earth grows cold.
all follows now an ancient mould -
a wounded gasp, a blazing fight
within a world of dying light.

( - Naktigonis)

A Sarabande Of Thunder

harvested, refined,
the old cacophony's denied -
and now the
orchestra of chaos
plays victoriously a tune most sprightly.

( - Naktigonis, 'Lullaby of Chaos')

A Symphony Of Strife

mistakes can be beauty, as time comes to pass -
a flame can turn sand into pyres of glass.

( - Naktigonis)

Pyres Of Glass

The beginning of the end.

The place where souls are tormented until they undergo trials from the voices of The Depths.

Perhaps it is a mercy to be forgotten in this wasteland, as venturing further may result in a fate worse then death.

This cover was composed with live-audio guitar and vocal recording. Alongside some synthesizers.

I intend to make an entire album for each layer of the depths.

Osciliation - The First Layer (Deepwoken Fan OST)

"In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain, 
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp, 
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!"

( - William Blake, 'The Tyger')

Sin-Smelted Scoriae

"We climb higher. The reflected light off the sea still silvers the sky to our south. There are cheerily coloured beehives, ranged in rows in fields set back from the road. Wild-flower meadows, small vineyards.

We cross a wide pass between high peaks. Beech and pine have thickened in the lower ground, and I can smell resin in the cooler air. A sense of mountain communities and forest wilderness grows. The extent of the woods here makes a nonsense of human frontier lines. Beeches march over borders."

( - Robert Macfarlane, 'Underland')
