Once again, this is a track inspired by the gloomy story of "Faith", and indie game trilogy focused on retro aesthetic and things that go bump in the night. "Hell Has an Elevator" takes inspiration from the third chapter, towards the end of renegade priest John's plight against unknowable demons and possessed horrors. Relying on only faith and a small golden crucifix, he begins to doubt his purpose and if he'll even live to see the morning...
A huge thanks to ‪@VitalSoundsMedia‬ for the incredible music video, and to ‪@AirdorfGames‬ for creating Faith's dark immersive tale.
Lyrics:
Got a promise to keep now of my own
Gonna walk through the fire and come back home
Treading through the damnation of our kind
'Cause heaven's got a locked door I can't find
I can't preach to the darkness
Without putting up a fight
And I don't expect a savior
So I've got to be the light
I can't climb jacob's ladder
Keep on landing on the ground
But hell has an elevator
So just send my body down
Thinking back to the bloodshed on my trail
The damage
Tried to stick to the scripture, but I have failed
Abandoned
Breaking bread with the sinners to survive
Altogether
'Cause heaven's got a locked door I can't find
Shut forever
I can't preach to the darkness
Without putting up a fight
And I don't expect a savior
So I've got to be the light
I can't climb jacob's ladder
Keep on landing on the ground
But hell has an elevator
So just send my body down
Gonna choke on the sulfur I taste on my lips
Seeing stars in the dark here beneath an eclipse
Hard to wait for an answer when my belief slips
There's something else here listening
For the path I have walked comes a dangerous price
I have searched for the truth with my own doubting eyes
Can I live with the knowing when I realize
Lucifer's star is twinkling
My mind is scouring secrets
Not any soul will tell
Sometimes to face the demons
You have to walk through hell
I can't preach to the darkness
Without putting up a fight
And I don't expect a savior
So I've got to be the light
I can't climb jacob's ladder
Keep on landing on the ground
But hell has an elevator
So just send my body down
Down, down, down

Thanks for “Having faith” in me on this one, was a blast to return to working with you!

Aye nice work with the animations, really good job in general and helping telling a story alongside the vocals 👍

[@12isthemostimportantnumber]

Both this and "Have Faith" Illustrate not only John, but his dilemma's and conflicts within the story of faith so well. Can we also just talk about how John is one of the best indie protagonists to come out in recent years? In all honesty, this gets a spot right next to 15 other songs you've made fighting for the title of my favorite over all

I have to admit I actually wrote a dnd character based off this song. A paladin of redemption who is also a reborn( a living undead.) he knows deep down his past haunts him. He has a past as a warlord who slaughtered thousands and now he is fighting to escape the flames of hell on behalf of the angels. But he knows deep down they won’t let him in.

[@WolfLover21213]

I like this idea. Would play dnd with you.

[@DamothMaykr1942]

Absolutely genius character idea

[@bishop2286]

Had a similar character. A vengeance paladin who contracted a warlock pact. He danmed his soul to fight the beasts who'd danm others

[@hernehaugen6878]

Reminds me of a paladin I play who was cursed with true immortality. He's seen the world end and be remade twice and slept through a third remaking.

[@ThomasKingGaming]

[@lukelcs8934]

"Sometimes to face the demons, you have to walk through hell" has got to be one of my favorite lines from you. ^.^

[@thebrandunsafeone7184]

this song literally inspired me to write for the first time in 6 years thanks for the help in surpassing my writers block, aviators edit: to elaborate, the idea of a priest who doesnt believe in god but still believes in the people came to me while thinking about the lyrics, and i had to write a one-shot about it

[@DarkJusn2020]

Yooooo that sounds fire mate, glad you found the inspiration to make it!

[@prdurnion83]

A one-shot? Like, a game campaign? If so, which game?

[@Grimmet2137]

​@@lordmike9331yea you could listen to it for few months already but this one is bit different

[@Nic_Bloody1905]

Honestly both Father Alexander Anderson and John Howard are the best depictions of priests I’ve ever seen. One a badass monster killer, who becomes a monster to kill the one who can’t be killed. His faith a sword. The other a weak, kind hearted man with a deeply troubled past who must repent for his sins by bringing down the house of hell, even when his faith slips. His faith a shield. Two amazing characters.

[@theenderdestruction2362]

One is the monster of God and so damned himself from Gods love, the other God chose to bring down a terrible house, and so became one of his most perfect angels

[@goora1866]

Wouldn't call him weak, more just timid

"I don't expect a savior so I've got to be the light" is just a more on-beat way of saying "we can't expect God to do all the work" which tells me I *know* you tried to fit the line in somehow, even spiritually.

[@8-bitsarda747]

You know, people meme on "we can't expect God to do all the work," but it's a sentiment based in scripture. In the Bible (and Book of Mormon, if you believe in that) God doesn't ease people's burdens by making their burdens lighter, he helps them by making them strong enough to lift those burdens themselves

[@iheartblock3792]

[@Arbiter5490]

Man, I love this song, though until now I didn't know what it was from and still listened to it on repeat for months lol. The Twist At the End has to be one of my favorite albums out there. There's just something about that Halloween feeling the songs give that I just adore.

[@hellenbach3381]

[@omnipotentpumpkin9755]

Love how the first song is jam packed full of hope and this one is deeply rooted in despair! Very nicely themed!

"Mind mind is scouring secrets not any soul will tell. Sometimes to face the demons, you have to walk through Hell." That line should speak to you even when you don't like religion.

[@ashrunzeda4099]

I know this is a tribute to Faith 3. But man does this song fit perfectly with Keanu Reeves' John Constantine.

[@aiden6612]

One of my favorite things about being early is the multiple "first" comments

[@Cyanna.Scribe]

Three at my count.

[@SebastianT_Solace]

In a way, this song somehow perfectly lines up with how i felt when i gave up hope, and endured a lot of suffering for the path i chose back then. As i type this now, I see that there is faith, and there is hope, even in the darkest of times. you have to have faith. If not in your belief, then have faith in oneself.

[@Darkeststate]

2 Faith songs? Tis’ a gift from God 👏

[@jacobcentamore4901]

This song is an absolute masterpiece. And let me tell you what makes this song such. The pause after the lyrical bridge, followed by the 'ding' of the elevator. You did not have to add the elevator ding. There, the song's feel would have felt mostly the same, the message of the song would have been the same. But you added it anyway. Not technical term, but that's what i call the 'flaire' or the 'spice' of the song. It's not needed, and the song would be great without it. But adding that flaire, adds a depth to the song that would otherwise not be there. Absolute masterpiece, well done.
