This song is a single for my upcoming Masks - EP releasing October 25th!
The Dark Souls games keep sucking me back in.
"Song of the Abyss" is a tragic tale of loyalty and inevitable defeat, following the story of Knight Artorias and his great wolf Sif. Once the greatest warrior in the known world, Artorias fails his final mission to stop the spread of the Abyss, falling to its influence and leaving his wolf safely behind under his enchanted shield. Of course we, the player, later find Sif and carry on the legacy of the Wolf Knight despite his defeat.

Lyrics:
Old friend, we seem surrounded
As decay is closing in
And the kiss of deadly silence
Has been placed upon my skin
For the code we're bound to follow
You have led my last crusade
Now we're swallowed by the city
As it fades
I will shield you from the darkness
When the walls around us quake
I will hold back all the monsters
Until my bones begin to break
When I've lost I'll have to leave you
And the tears, they'll fall like rain
If I'm taken by the shadows
I will spare you from the pain
Cry a requiem for sunlight
Hide away now from the dark
To me the angered deep is calling
Tearing me apart
Somehow the whispers do command me
When the abyss has taken hold
Now carry on in glory
When I grow cold
I will shield you from the darkness
When the walls around us quake
I will hold back all the monsters
Until my bones begin to break
When I've lost I'll have to leave you
And the tears, they'll fall like rain
If I'm taken by the shadows
I will spare you from the pain
Foolishly I left the darkness creeping
In this restless ruin my soul is bleeding
I confess to you the dark
Has taken me prisoner
I am corrupt beyond any rescue
I've forsaken my vow to protect you
Oh, end these horrors
Face the father of the sinister
If the fight's over
I will sacrifice my mind
Just to know you'll still be breathing
When the years have been unkind
So continue on without me
Guard my body and my flame
Keep a watch over the wasteland
When the world forgets my name
I will shield you from the darkness
When the walls around us quake
I will hold back all the monsters
Until my bones begin to break
When I've lost I'll have to leave you
And the tears, they'll fall like rain
If I'm taken by the shadows
I will spare you from the pain
