Knightfall from Knightfall by Horizis
Dark Souls - the game in which you constantly die, resurrect and continue to fight. Parallels to current times are obvious: daily setbacks one has to overcome - giving up is not an option. On this stage Horizis tell the tragic story of knight Artorias the Abysswalker wrapped in an epic symphonic metal song. A mix of lore and story gives deeper meaning to the legend of Artorias and tells rather unknown insights, which turn the heroic saga into a tragedy.
The new hymn for all gaming metal nerds.

Lyrics
Our lore begins with an ancient menace
A demon born from human rage
Spreading death, decay and madness
But one soldier dared to engage
His sword was sharp and his will unbent
A loyal friend fought along his side
But killing the beast was his own end
To protect us all he gave his life
He came to rescue to those in need
A brave protector of the land
But only he could walk the deep
Ready to take his final stand
Ash and embers
In a world of looming dark
Can't remember
Bearing this accursed mark
Go and end the fight
For this fallen knight
And they may all believe the lie
Never be 'Game Over' when you die
And yet the fearless knight has failed
Now captive to the void below
An unknown saviour has prevailed
A truth nobody wants to know
As souls grow dark and flames burn out
And hearts of gold can turn to stone
The wicked preaching fear and doubt
And soon we will be left alone
A mighty hero turned a villain
Corrupted by the enemy
His inner light is slowly dying
Longing for serenity
Ash and embers
In a world of looming dark
Can't remember
Bearing this accursed mark
Go and end the fight
For this fallen knight
And they may all believe the lie
Never be 'Game Over' when you die
I'm sorry
I've failed you - each and everyone
I wish this grim fate upon no one else
By choosing this path I have lost myself
Forgive me
You have to leave me here my friend
Accept the shield from my shattered arm
The last choice I make is to keep you from harm
Pray for me
Someone somewhere may end this fight
And though he will die time and time again
One day he'll succeed if he lives through this pain
Don't forget me
I'm surely not the last to fall
But now that I have seen the end of the flame
I hope among ashes we will meet again
The monster's raging
But I will fight
I will get crushed
And I will die
But I'll come back
And will retry
And in the end
Victory is mine
Ash and embers
In a world of looming dark
Can't remember
Bearing this accursed mark
Go and end the fight
For this fallen knight
And they may all believe the lie
Never be 'Game Over' when you die
Your time to the rise
See through the lies
Don't let this chance just pass you by
Never be 'Game Over' when you die
Ash and embers
In a world of looming dark
Can't remember
Bearing this accursed mark
