Aviators - Requiem for the King (Dark Souls II Song | Dark Acoustic)

Download on Bandcamp: Spotify: Google Play: Apple Music: Instrumentals/Vocals/MIDI For Remixing: At last, after being inspired by Dark Souls 1 and 3, Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne, Dark Souls 2 gave me a story with more emotional impact than I expected. Within the expansion “Crown of the Ivory King“ lies a story of love and sacrifice, telling the tale of The Ivory King’s plunge into the depths of chaos to save his dear Queen Alsanna and the rest of the world. Years later, his soul remains in torment without rest, reliving the pain of leaving his love until someone comes to take his soul. Also, outside of the really bittersweet lore, I got to know The King very well in this area of the game, because it is really, REALLY hard. I think I’ll leave him and his queen alone from now on. Lyrics: Last kiss for a burned man Dark child of the outlands My heavy heart will take this last goodbye Brave souls for a last stand Spilled blood on my charred hands A sacrifice to know you’ll stay alive When the fire has come I will die to protect you Light a candle for me On this winter’s day My queen, don’t cry tonight There’s a dream left to cling to I will rest in ash To leave you safe, I pray Fresh snow for the dark years Frost graced by a king’s tears My love, I must not waver now in death Deep earth, where the fires glow Faced down with the unknown A whispered vow to you on my last breath Always these winds will whisper Laced with an endless shiver Leave a light above for me to find Last queen of lands forsaken Hold strong when life is taken Keep a memory, for peace of mind
