Dark Soul

A somber tune about Lord Gwyn leaving his home and his family in order to spend the rest of his days sacrificing his sanity to kindle the First Flame and keep his reign alive.

Lord Gwyn's Lament

A jovial tune about the Knight Solaire and his epic quest to find a sun of his own.

Solaire's Sun

Track number 1 on my upcoming Dark Souls album.  This one sets the mood and captures the spirit of the game and those who love it.  It is dedicated to the community.

This Is Dark Souls

This is probably my favorite of my Dark Souls inspired songs.  It's the album closer and sends the listener off with a positive message and a hope that they too will raise their flask and praise that sun.

LYRICS:

When I was young I used to travel far across this land
With a shield on my back and with a claymore in my hand
Though death seemed to surround and though my spirit often waned
I'd never trade one second of the hardship and the pain

Swords up for those of us that died
They didn't make it but they tried
But they'll be back to fight, you'll see
By the bonfire they'll be
Oh aimless wanderer, don't you know

That if you're lost and if you feel oh so hollow
Just call my name and I'll be there to take you home
I know the road may seem bleak
But I'll not have you see one more defeat
We'll carry on beyond all death and darkness

So draw your sword, string your bow
Hollows, humans, hunters, let 'em know
We'll never bend, we'll never break
We'll fight the dark no matter what it takes

And if it takes our souls, our fates
To satiate the dark's great hunger
Then we will wait at death's grim gate
And reawaken to the wonder
Of a land been torn asunder

I long to walk the ruined halls of the chapel and the burg
And journey down to Darkroot where some strange events occurred
I do remember fondly Anor Londo's sunny days
And I even reminisce about old Blighttown's poison maze

What's death but just a second try
Did they not warn us we would die?
Though I may falter, I may fall
Had some souls but lost 'em all
This undead still heeds the call

...

Pick up your axe, cast your spells
We may be dead but we'll still give 'em hell
With lightning spear and sunlight blade
we'll fight the dark no matter what it takes

...

So if your lost and if you feel oh so hollow
Just call my name and I'll be there to take you home
Though you may feel dread and fear
Our winding roads have led us here
Where Gwynevere will welcome us at last
When there is naught to do but cry
And all our estus has run dry
Even when we pine for better days
Still I say...

...

So raise your flasks, praise that sun
You and I, dear hollow 'til we've won
We'll battle through for Lordran's sake
And fight the dark no matter what it takes
