Lyrics: 

Fierce and strong my little Charr,
How I wonder what you are.
Iron, Ash, or Blood you’ll choose,
Whichever way, you cannot lose.
 
Sleep has come my little Charr,
Far away with the Fahrar.
Running ‘round with swords and bows,
Hunting traitors, killing ghosts.
 
You will grow my little Charr,
And I will watch you from afar.
Perhaps someday destiny
Will bring you back to fight with me.
 
You will travel through the night,
An endless wave of foes to fight.
You must know you’re not alone
With your warband you are home.
 
Fierce and strong my little charr,
Sleeping under this same star.
Close your eyes and breathe the night
And think of me with the first light.


Guild Wars 2 - A Charr Lullaby

Hey! This here is an arrangement of a couple of Guild Wars 2 themes composed by Lena Chappelle. These are the tracks in question:

There are also some nods to music in the soundtrack composed by Jeremy Soule, so credit goes to him too!

I'm a huuuuge fan of Guild Wars 2 and its soundtrack, and I thought it was about time I made a tribute to it. This uses FL Studio 11, East/West libraries, and Omnisphere. 35 hours of work went into it.

I hope you enjoy it! Credit goes to these two wonderfully talented people for their live recordings in this track!

Lyrics:

Walk the lonely paths of Orr,
forget the scent of grass,
the gentle breeze and sweet sunbeams 
now things of distant past.

Walk the lonely paths of Orr,
forget the warmth of light,
the soothing rain that eased your pain
now stings you in its plight.

Walk the lonely paths of Orr,
The answers still unknown;
to heal a land, dead and unmanned 
you lose the paths of home.

But though the horrors linger
You put them all to bed
Corruption’s own harbinger
“They are not stars,” you said.

Walk the paths of Maguuma,
the heart of all your fears,
you are defied by once allied; 
the Pact betrayal sears.

Walk the paths of Maguuma,
forget the shine of night,
those hopeful stars; once close, now far, 
shadowed by Dragon’s might.

Walk the paths of Maguuma,
From dusk to night, dark climbs,
you shall be numb to Dragon’s hum, 
Now dusk is night, 'tis time.

And though the horrors linger
You put them all to bed
The Dragon’s own harbinger
“Now strike me down,” you said.

Walk the path of distant dreams,
Recall the warmth of sun,
Mend your seams in dreaming streams, 
Let your burdens be done.

Walk the path of distant dreams,
lay down the weight of years
and drift beneath that peaceful sleep, 
Now is our time of tears.

Walk the path of distant dreams,
You do not go unmourned,
Lamenting songs to you belong,
Farewell, dearest Firstborn.

For though the horrors linger
Please rest your weary head
You were our hope-bringer
Now I’ll be in your stead.

Please rest your weary head.

Guild Wars 2 - Farewell To The Firstborn (High Quality)

Hey!

This is an original piece of music using lyrics from the sea shanty found in the Sea of Sorrows book:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sea_of_Sorrows_(book)#Sea_shanty

This was made in response to a challenge that YouTuber WoodenPotatoes issued to the community to turn those lyrics into a song. Check out his channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/user/WoodenPotatoes

I worked on this with my friend, Erik Scerri. Check out his channel!
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC39H74e-m8WA8h6YJkSsuLg

And thanks to Alwiren for the wonderful vocals!
https://soundcloud.com/alwiren

We've never made something like this before so it was quite a challenge! We listened to a ton of sea shanties before starting this for inspiration.

The instrumentation is also fun on this one. You'll hear a mallet, accordion, concertina, banjo, bass guitars, a Chinese flute, a gong, and standard orchestral instruments. I know it's not the most authentic set of instruments for a sea shanty, but it sounds good so dealwithit.jpg.

This was made with FL Studio 12, Omnisphere, East/West libraries, and various Kontakt libraries.

Enjoy!

LYRICS:
You don't know a storm 'til you ride the wind
'Neath cold and blackened skies, O
'Til you're sailing through a thunderhead
With the lightning in your eyes
Death, he laughs in the sails and the jags
And the bloody sun won't rise, O.

A sailor's life's filled with toil and strife
The sea's both boon and bane, O
We're Kryta bound on a northern tide
Through the lightning and the rain
We'll sail through all these stormy nights
'Til we're at home again, O.

Open sea, and we're homeward bound
Fair or foul the weather, O
The captain swears we'll make our port
Though the sun's burned to an ember
If the Dead Ships come and the darkness falls
Then we'll all go down together, O.

She's a restless sloop with a six-armed maid
A-dancing on her prow, O
Her brassy cannons crease the sea
But the weather's chased her down
Her compass spins, and her captain screams
And the crew's all dead and drowned, O.

The sails are rent, and the engine's blown
The keel is split to stern, O
We lost the rudder to the tide
And the mizzenmast is burning
The rain's like nails, and our harbour's lost
And the compass spins and turns, O.

Now the darkness comes, and the stars above
Circle 'round like sharks at sea, O
Instead of fighting for our lives
We should be sitting at our ease
But I chose the strife of a sailors life
And the ocean, she chose me, O.

The wind, it hounded, the thunder boomed
Thought the storm might just prevail, O
But we shouldered on 'til the break of day
And we tamed that fearsome gale
Held to courage and to honour
And we lived to tell the tale, O.

No, you don't know a storm 'til you ride the wind
'Neath the cold and blackened skies, O
'Til you're sailing through a thunderhead
With the lightning in your eyes
Death, he laughs in the sails and the jags
And the bloody sun won't rise, O.

Weather The Storm

Hey hey!

This is an arrangement of the song "Fear Not This Night" that comes from the game Guild Wars 2. The original was composed by Jeremy Soule and Ree Soesbee with vocals from Asja Kadrić, and this arrangement was written by me and my friend Erik Scerri with vocals from a very talented singer we know who wishes to remain anonymous!

This project was a long time coming. We've been wanting to get an arrangement out for this song for literal years, but it kept getting pushed back by other things. Eventually, we finally decided to sit down and finish it. Forty hours later, and here we are!

This song uses East/West libraries for most of the instruments, with Omnisphere for the more electronic influences. It also uses three pianos, making this one of my most piano-heavy pieces ever.

Hope you guys enjoy! This took a lot of work and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

LYRICS:

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

Awaken from a quiet sleep
Hear the whispering of the wind
Awaken as the silence grows
In the solitude of the night

Darkness spreads through all the land
And your weary eyes open silently
Sunsets have forsaken all
The most far off horizons

Nightmares come when shadows grow
Eyes close and heartbeats slow

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away

Distant sounds of melodies
Starring through the night to your heart
Auroras, mists, and echoes dance
In the solitude of our life

Pleading, sighing arias
Gently grieving in captive misery
Darkness sings a forlorn song
Yet our hope can still rise up

Nightmares come when shadows roam
Lift your voice, lift your hope

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall
Still the stars find their way

And though the night sky's filled with blackness
Fear not, rise up, call out and take my hand

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall (Still the stars find their way)

Fear not this night
You will not go astray
Though shadows fall (Still the stars find their way)

And you can always be strong
Lift your voice with the first light of dawn

Dawn's just a heartbeat away
Hope's just a sunrise away
