Awaken (Elden Ring song) (Patreon)

This song has actually been in the works for almost 3 months now! I knew I had to write an Elden Ring track, the aesthetic and lore is so inspiring! Symphonic metal seemed like a good choice, even though engineering this genre is very difficult imo. 

My attempt was to combine serene, beautiful moments with dissonant tension and epic...battles xD My main gripe with this production would be my lead. Ideally someone else would've sung it but finding Mr/Mrs Right for my tracks(within budget) is hard sometimes.

ANYWAY - hope you like it, feel free to comment and give feedback! Video and Spotify release on March 18th!

Please take extra care if you're a European brother/sister. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Lyrics:

–Verse1–

Shards from the shattering

Their light is beckoning

Nobles of honor

Twisted to horror and yet

to the gold they cling

Dragons on mortal wings

Kneel for the golden king

Tarnished and wretched

Death to the purebred

Bring down the reckoning

–Verse2–

Landscapes in gold and green

Shadows of what has been

Fires are burning

The kin returning

Dark, wicked and obscene

Cursed ones must reconvene

Foul children of the queen

snuff out her offspring

brandish the one ring

As the Lord of the lands between

–Chorus–

Between...us fester fear and hatred

Cracked what once was sacred

Peace and innocence was taken

Darkness reawaken

–Verse3–

Burden of mortal men

Die and be born again

Reach for the idol

Ending the cycle

Push through the boundless pain

Eyes that have lost their sheen

Gaze towards ends unclean

War of attrition

Follow ambition

In the Lands Between
