i love how you make custom square covers for soundcloud renditions, the effort shows man!

we are so killing those voidwalker landlubbers with this one 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🔥🗣️

Man I wish I'd read the descriptions before, this adds so much ammo to my loaded gun of a singing voice when they least expect it

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

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

( - Naktigonis)

Pyres Of Glass

"To reassert my rule, I sought out unscrupulous men skilled in the application of force. Tight-lipped and terrifying, these mercenaries brought with them a war machine of terrible implication."

( - The Ancestor, 'Ancestor's Memoirs: The Brigand Pounder', from the video game "Darkest Dungeon")
-----

"Blood and destruction shall be so in use
And dreadful objects so familiar
That mothers shall but smile when they behold
Their infants quarter’d with the hands of war;
All pity choked with custom of fell deeds [...]."

( - William Shakespeare, "Julius Caesar", Act III, Scene I)

And Let Slip The Hounds Of War

"Impatient winds hound your vessel. Beneath their moan, you can hear whispered voices. They call to you, inviting you to leave your engine and join their revels in the vaults of the sky [...]."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Whisperwinds' interaction)
-----

"A simple rite. Open windows; shivered words; a wind, welcomed in. Is it a comfort, to know you are not alone? To be watched by one of the capricious gods of the turning sky? Their attention can draw other, unwelcome things."

( - Sunless Skies, 'The Thing in the Mist' interaction)

Whisperwind

"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')

Blood And Thunder

"For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come 
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life."

( - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet', Act III, Scene I)
-----

"My enemy is twice dead, and I still have him."

( - Iain Banks, 'The Wasp Factory')

A Darkness Beneath

WHEN THE DEPTHS OF SEA
COME ALIVE
IN A MOTION

STRONGLY SHAKES THE LAND
AND THE SKY
FROM THE OCEAN

WATERS BELOW
FOAM AND ROAR,
AND BELLOW.

WHAT SHALL WE DO
WITH OUR HEARTS
SO MELLOW?

FEEL NO DESPAIR,
MY FRIENDS!
TOMORROW,

DAY DAWNS ANEW!

---

then the ocean tide
arched and coursed
like a fountain,

swept across the land,
from the coasts
to the mountains.

little now remains
of the past,
torn asunder.

quiet is the world,
like the clouds
after thunder.

embers of flame
soaked and wet,
still glowing,

rest in our hearts
as we sail,
unknowing.

whether the flame
lives or dies
won't matter -

time marches on.

A Memory Of Tides (Band Version)

Hail to the Tide!
Honoured by the sea,
Journey to the fathoms in bravery!

Us you will guide,
Bravest of the brave!
Even should the ocean become your grave!

May you return,
Victory in hand,
May you once again tread on steady land!

Glory you'll earn,
Echo shall your name
In the books of history, crowned in fame!

Onward, to the darkest chasms!
May you never falter,
And may your way be led by Song!

Onward, to the deepest fathoms!
May the light protect you,
May you return triumphant, strong!

------------

"The Song of Fathoms", colloquially also known as "Oscillation", is a popular tune well-known around Lumen. Despite this, it remains a musical piece surrounded by discussion and dispute. In spite of the fact that we know exactly how old the piece is, and who the original author is, certain events and clauses of history mean that we cannot reliably verify its true arrangement and original text.

[...] [F]ollowing the formalities, as the observers cheered on, the first expeditionary [Diver] force - 'The Pioneers', with Akarad at the fore -  descended the cave system and dived into its waters, following the path until they disappeared from sight. At their descent, a musical piece, then called "The Song of Fathoms", was performed by the Scholars' Orchestra of the Scholars of Markor. The piece itself was commissioned for the ceremony collectively by the High Convocation, and the performance was conducted by the Chambermaster of the orchestra, Ingrid Jura.

The Song Of Fathoms (Band Version)

Not much is known about First Lieutenant August Gideshu, the author of the song, himself. Supposedly an Adretian in origin, his unusual surname seems to indicate an older lineage, likely one reaching back to the Pre-Tidal epochs, when the Adretian peoples were contained within their mountain homelands, squabbling as scattered tribes. The Gideshu family name appears several times in various historical Authority records, though never in a rank higher than First Lieutenant.

Authority records indicate that August Gideshu served aboard the Central Authority Sailing-Ship (or CASS) 'Zephyr', under Captain Hector Corbet. Little else is known about this ship's crew or specifications, aside from the fact that it served in the Eastern Luminant, and experienced several clashes involving the Etrean Navy, in which they emerged victorious. Gideshu himself is noted as having distinguished himself in one battle by bolstering crew morale during an Etrean boarding - possibly by starting to sing the eponymous march, suggesting his fellow crew were familiar with his penmanship.

The Gideshu March (Band Version)

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

( - Sun Tzu, 'The Art Of War')

"The better part of valor is discretion [...]."

The Windsinger's Dance

"LACHESISM - longing for the clarity of disaster

[...] And yet, somewhere deep down, you find yourself rooting for the storm, hoping for the worst. As if a part of you is tired of waiting, wondering when the world will fall apart - by lot, by fate, by the will of the gods.

[...] The apocalypse is one of the oldest fantasies we have. But it's not about skipping to the end of the story. It's a longing for revelation, a revealing of what we already know but cannot see - that none of this is guaranteed, and there's no such thing as "ordinary life". That our civilization is just an agreement, one that could be revoked at any time."

( - John Koenig, 'The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows')
