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
