Aviators - The Red Hood (Dark Souls Song | Symphonic Alternative)

You can find this song on my bandcamp: Or on Spotify: Let’s rewind a bit, shall we? “The Red Hood“ is a track from last year’s “Masks“ release, and since it never got a proper video done I figure now is the time! The song is about Slave Knight Gael from The Ringed City DLC of Dark Souls 3. From his own perspective, it details his struggles to reach the end of the world in search for power and purpose. In the game, he’s really no different than the player... But he found the Dark Soul first. Instrumental version: For background music and tools for remixing, the instrumentals, vocal stems, and MIDIs of this entire EP is available for free! You can also join the Aviators Music community on discord for updates and feedback: Lyrics: When once, long ago I was worn down and abused The strongest took the spoils And then we fell at their shoes But now they are gone And my sanity’s kept by my chains So I bear them both in faith and hate For family and all that remains Fight, to ignite Not for gods nor the coming of night If I’m the last of the men to fall Then this warrior’s growing in might For fear and for love And survival when push comes to shove The red hood is coming to take you home The bearer of soul and of light Old kings will fade When the last of the light’s fading too The castles long have fallen And the paintings faded blue So here now you stand We are human yet both something new The last prize has been taken Now the red hood faces you Here in the ashes Balanced and whole I endlessly hunger For power of soul At the end of all the ages In the last of my crusades You’re the red hood’s last contender And the first one unafraid I’m regretful to have hurt you But this world’s blood must be spilled I’ll return home as a monster From the bad dream that I’ve killed
