"EVITERNAL" - Doom II: Eviternity song

Happy birthday, Josh! 🎂
This is a song focusing on the protagonist of Doom (1993) and of his exploits throughout the "Eviternity" duology, two gigantic Doom level packs spearheaded by project leader Joshua "Dragonfly" O'Sullivan. These mapsets have gone down in recent history as two of the highest-quality-assured and universally-beloved levelsets ever released for the game.
The lyrics connect not just to the story and canon of Eviternity's two releases, but to how Dragonfly brought both a development team and community together. I did want to leave things somewhat open-ended, though, so the overall lyrical message - of charging ahead full-pelt into the unknown, whether in pursuit of greatness or of uniting a people - could easily be applied to any heroic person or character desired.
Even our heroes must rest.

You are our final bastion
Let these words be your inauguration
You are a righteous bastard
Protector from annihilators
Canonised in all our minds
You are our one true pride
Demonised in Hell's own eyes
You accept no compromise
With Heaven withered
We need new sanctuary
A God to gather
Us in boundless unity
This legacy you will leave
Will last into eviternity
Throughout all tribulations
Imperishable, deadly weapon
Bow down - God of Creation
Celestial slayer of our demons
Cut through lies and catalyse
Our salvation from this strife
As bullets fly through battle-cries
You have stood the test of time
With Heaven withered
We need new sanctuary
A God to gather
Us in boundless unity
This legacy you will weave
Will last into eviternity
(Charge!!)
Holding the fight
With all your might
Collapse the titans that sent us this plight
Nations collide
Souls all unite
Against the foe of the archangels’ light
(♪ DEE SOLO)
Shed a light
We are saved!
Yeah!
Defy all expectation
A machine in perpetual motion
(♪ AD SOLO)
(Yeah, yeah!)
Your twelfth and final chapter
Elysium's standing in rapture
But heroes have their limits
And heavy weighs your quest
And though you're far from finished
Don't deny your deepest-yet rest
(Eviternity!)
Your good works spread wide
Across our community
Every great stride
Has bound us in unity
This legacy, this release
Look at what you've achieved
Be assured the mark you leave
Will last into eviternity
(Eviternity!)

Happy Birthday Josh!

[@NuruTheDoomer]

Eviternity is one of the first custom wad I stumbled upon during my first year of playing Doom, back in 2021... It became one of my favorite wads right away, both in the aesthetic and music departments. Then Eviternity II came out last year, I was very very excited! And my god, the aesthetics are MUCH cooler, and the musics are absolute bangers that I listened quite a lot ever since it came out! And this song definitely made me shed some tears when I listened to it... What a great tribute to the project that you guys have worked so hard on! Thank you guys -- and especially Dragonfly -- for the great experience that is the Eviternity duology 🤟

[@llamadelreyii3369]

Vocals, what a awesome surprise

[@DYLZAL]

This came together so well. I love how the lyrics work on multiple levels. On the level of in jokes, being a love letter to Dragonfly and the Eviternity games, and also being really badass metal lyrics.

[@Dragonfly_Doom]

Just wanna say, what a KILLER solo! Also don't go thinking the Dragonfly ring went unnoticed! Thanks for your part in this! 😁

[@DYLZAL]

@@Dragonfly_Doom Thanks Josh! Fun fact about the ring, I came across it randomly the day before I filmed my solo, it must of been meant to be cause it broke right after filming

[@TristanClarkMusic]

You absolutely crushed it with the solo Dee, couldn't believe what I was hearing when Jimmy first sent it to me!

[@Dragonfly_Doom]

@@DYLZAL Ahaha, that's a shame it broke but very cool all the same!! Thanks again :D

[@Dragonfly_Doom]

Amen to that!

[@CarlRaven91]

Happy birthday Dragonfly! This is an absolute banger! Epicness indeed!

[@NeilForshaw]

Sounds awesome. Wasn't expecting vocals. :O

[@Spectere]

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

[@Coreagrus]

Awesome! I wasn't expecting this at all. I loved the little Leprous homage. Nice touch.

[@HennerzLennerz]

Now to start pestering my local djs to play this instead of the usual pop… Incredible work by such an ensemble cast of musicians!
