LYRICS:
Fires Fade Gavin Dunne 2016
And in the paths of ash
Another bond of burden seek
See the pale moon paint the sky in frost
And in the lives long past
In the cinders of the weak
Lie the failures of the lost
Fires fade
The dimming of the embers
Wake from your sleep again
Fires fade
Wills of steel to temper
Come reignite this hopeful flame
Inward face the eyes
Purge and purify
Silver silk strings of hope
Puppets pulled forward
Should the fires fade
Should the cinders dim
Should the fires fade
Silent sigh, final hymn
And the world comes tumbling down
Cold kings clutch crumbling crowns
Fires fade
The dimming of the embers
Wake from your sleep again
Fires fade
Wills of steel to temper
Come reignite this hopeful flame
#DarkSouls

It just occurred to me, it must've been super awkward when the Abyss Watchers first woke up. "Huh, what's going on. Oh god damnit, who forgot to link the fire! Wait a minute, Steve, you've been tainted by the abyss! Sorry man, I have no choice but to kill you." "I've been tainted by the abyss? You've been tainted by the abyss! Prepare to die!" "Wha-holy crap you're right! I have been tainted by the Abyss! What do we do when this happens? I never read the abyss watcher manual. Do I kill myself? Or do I kill you first, then myself? What would Artorias do!" "Well he'd probably kill somebody like a badass in front of the player character and then get killed himself." "Oh right"

[@lexsamreeth8724]

Just so you know, you inspired a holy day in one of my Pathfinder campaigns. "And on the day of the winter solstice, all lamps and torches are to be extinguished at dawn, and all fires allowed to burn down to ash. Only the Eternal Flame in Her temples is permitted to remain burning, and only fires for cooking may be lit, and they are to remain small, and only sufficient to do their purpose. Fires in sick rooms are also allowed to remain burning - do not let Her glory be an excuse for the frail and unfortunate to perish. For an hour during the day, Her faithful are to kneel in the ashes of the fires in silence. They are to reflect on their own mortality, their weaknesses and their failures of the past year. If sorrow overtakes them, they are permitted, yeah, encouraged, to cry aloud. As the hour draws to a close, Her faithful are again encouraged to make vows before Imrash, addressing their faults, and to lay plans to make amends for any and all wrongs they have committed. In the final hour before sunset, all of her Faithful who are able in body are to go before the Eternal Flame. They are to wear no ornaments or finery, and no barrier shall separate lord from peasant, for in the Day of Ash, all are to be reminded of their frailty. The clergy and holy ones of Her temple will then lead the Her faithful in hymns of penance and rebirth. "Fires Fade" from the Hymnist Gavin is greatly recommended. Once the sun has disappeared below the horizon, Her faithful are again permitted to light lamp, torch, and hearth. For on this day, we recall the mystery of our Lady. Imrash burns. Imrash dims. Imrash will blaze forever more." -Prophet Lazereus, "Acts of Devotion to the Flame"

[@dezopenguin9649]

Truly epic song; I also love the use of the bits from "You Died" and "Fires Far"; it makes the song feel like a true sequel to the previous ones the way the game itself is to its predecessors.

[@zachhimiona2133]

agreed

[@Eckskalibur]

There one thing that's bizarre though and I'm not sure if it's on purpose or not. Some of the lyric sounds like as though they're referring to Bloodborne also. You notice it during the first verse.

[@themysteriousstranger4580]

+Eckskalibur It's not bizarre, the games are from the same devs and are both souls style games so it would make sense to relate them.

[@ManySeptims]

That's something i absolutely LOVED about his Dragon Age songs, bc he took parts from the original, but either changed the tune slightly or changed the lyrics slightly

[@Eckskalibur]

+SavageShades In that sense it's not, since Bloodborne is made by From and is designed similarly to the Souls series, but I suppose I prefer a clear distinguish between the 2 game titles. Even with their roots of gameplay coming from the same Old One.

Gav was discussing on his facebook how this song was received with certain disappointment from some of his audience. which is why I figured he did Forever Flame. But after seeing that post and returning here, i can't quite see why people could have been disappointed. Its an awesome addition to the Dark Souls oeuvre Gavin has got going, Almost like an epic climax to the two previous ones. Fuck I bought the damn thing as soon as I could, it felt like an homage and a final brick to both the Dark Souls songs and the Paleblood Moon song from Bloodeborne.

[@FlaskTheTapir]

+GamingDoneProperly GDP I feel so as well. There are a few songs where I'd say the singing is not as prominent as it should be.

[@HenriqueGdeC]

+SmexyRula No, it's garbage, now make more ;)

[@PureAwesamness]

Really? Personally, I think I liked this one more than "Forever Flame" (don't get me wrong, that one's still good, I just like this one a bit more). Like you said, it feels more like a "Grand finale" sort of piece. ... But, hey, I'd be totally okay with Gavin doing a super-sexy future version of this like he did with "Take it Back" and "The New Black Gold".

[@CPUpwner]

I really like how your Dark Souls songs capture all the good things about the series. "You Died" is a jolly melody about the masochistic nature of the games. "Fires Far" is more bleak, like the story. And "Fires Fade" is an awesome ballad about the aspect of hope, which is a huge part of the Dark Souls experience.

[@voidwaiker5497]

I just realized, "Inward face the eyes, Purge and Purify" That's totally a Bloodborne reference, not just in the eyes on the inside thing but possibly unintentionally referencing a specific line, "Plant eyes on our brains so that we may be cured of our beastly idiocy" First bit is obvious but, purge and purify totally equals the stuff about being cured, you cure something to purify it.

[@ColonelMustache]

There's an interesting phenomenon that occurs with me and many of your songs: The first time I listen to a song, often times it's somewhat underwhelming. The first time I listened to, for example, Don't Say a Word, I just thought it was "pretty good." Then I listened to it again a few weeks later. Only then did it hit me that that's one of the greatest songs you've ever written. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention the first time...Road Rage, I Am the Night, Edge of the World...All of those songs impressed me way more after I came back to them much later. Now, Fires Fade. Judging from your reactions on Twitter, a lot of people didn't like this song, or at least don't think it's as good as your other stuff. At first, I didn't have much of an opinion on it. It definitely wasn't BAD (you haven't written a bad song since I started following you, in my opinion), it just didn't stand out to me much - much like the above songs the first time I heard them. Forever Flame, on the other hand, was really good from the first time I listened to it. Now, it's been a couple months since I first listened to Fires Fade. How do I feel about it now? Well...It's awesome! Sharm is incredibly talented - the "wavering" she can do with her voice is a treat for the ears, and of course your own voice makes it even better. The lyrics, the instrumentals, everything is great. I don't play Dark Souls, but even I can tell that you've put love and care into this song. It fits right in with your other Dark Souls songs, and is a worthy counterpart to Forever Flame in my eyes. So, basically, great job with this one. I imagine it's discouraging when people prefer your old songs to your new ones, but I think you're more talented than you've ever been. Level 1 and 2 still have some great songs, but they don't hold a candle to Level 6 or Metal Up. Level 7's shaping up to be of a similar quality. I can't wait to see what else the album brings.

[@miracleofsound]

Thanks :) The whole song growing on you over time thing happens me as well with lots of my favourite songs!

[@HokutoDynasty]

After Gav said on the podcast that some people didn't like this song I tought he might have experimented with a few new things. Now after having listened to it I am somewhat confused, since this is not only really good but also without any unorthodox elements that could put people off.

Gavin, over the past few years I've been listening to you. Never once have I heard a song and not said to myself "This is a work of passion, of hard work and dedication." You are a true artist, and I wish you all the success in the world. I came around a little late, first hearing you around the Level 4 era, but ever since I've been a real fan. This song further cements my thoughts that, unlike some musicians, your talent and tenacity just seem to grow with each year. Please make music for as long as you can, because you have a gift that has inspired me in many ways. Strange or not, Level 5 inspired me to write my first novel. A few select instrumentals or bits of lyric just ignited things in my head that made me want to put myself to work on something I really cared about.

Brilliant song as usual. Although, I don't usually see people giving props to the video. This one was very well put together, the music fit with the visuals really well. Makes me want to hurry through DS2 and get onto DS3

[@brokenlava518]

+Cally I've beat the main story for 1 & 2, yet I never completed any of their dlc for some reason xD

[@CallyMayz]

+Broken Lava I couldn't get through 1, don't know what it was. I just stopped after a while. I finished DS2 today, but haven't finished the DLC yet. Not sure whether to power through the DLC then play 3 or try to do NG+.

[@miracleofsound]

+Cally Thank you! I really like the video for this one too. Took me a while to edit it :D

[@CallyMayz]

+miracleofsound One day my editing skills will be as good. Just gotta put those souls into it.

[@kirigreen9978]

+miracleofsound Hello. What do you think about making few original songs in such style. Paleblood moon, Fires far , You died and now this are my absolute favourites. They have VERY unique taste. So please at least think about it.

[@chantelstenner2553]

I heard Jim talking about how great this song is and I gotta say he was not lying. Good work, obviously a lot of passion went into this, and listening to it myself gives me a feeling of joy and sadness because I love this series so much and it will be sad to see it go some day. I will never forget how invested I am in the story was and how much fun I had playing through all these wonderful games. You've got talent so continue to make these songs because they are pretty damn good so far.

[@TheViralInfekT]

Hearing this song i fear i'll succumb the urge to boot this game up and visit this world again. Brilliant.

[@JHShadon133]

I love this song, and every time I hear the words "And the world comes tumbling down" I imagine I'm in a fantasy ruins with the bricks under me falling down into a dark void, sending me falling down into the darkness.

[@eclipseslayer98]

Jeeze this song sounded like it was broken and limping, tired, pissed off, and yet unable to stop. A perfect reflection of the twisted agony.

[@fluffsnake]

*adds to favorites before even listening to it* yep, that seems about right. ♥

[@TerribilisScriptor]

"Purge and purify" playing a cleric/mage feels so right in such a dark world

[@enc0de1g93]

Thank you Miracleofsound for making this masterpiece.This song helped me discover these amazing games.

[@WarMomPT]

I don't know if I can say anything beyond 'this is fucking phenomenal'. For what it's worth, I would disagree with the comment you put on twitter, where someone said your voice is a bit 'samey' through your tracks; on the one hand it's a bit '...he's one guy, no shit sherlock' but what I can hear of you alongside Sharm here is like what you did for Paleblood Moon, and it's so tonally appropriate. Between the uniqueness of 'Kana', how evocative and cathartic 'The Lucky Ones' is (I will admit to having a much-needed nice little cry at that one, despite having next to no interest in the IP) and now this, I think it's fair to say you've been having a hell of a month with your content!

[@miracleofsound]

+PoliteTimesplitter Thank you :) I have been personally happy with these recent songs, they're something that I want to listen to myself. I'm not really sure what some people seem to want from me vocally but I was only born with one set of vocal chords lol, I can't change that

[@dannyblrgn]

+miracleofsound this is awesome! When will this hit itunes

You never fail to impress me, Gav

[@andressblabla]

The drums in this song really impressed me! Everything is so brilliant. Also, the female voice is beautiful!

[@HoxtonHoxworthDoesNotExist]

Nothing will ever be better than Fires Far

[@DrKjoergoe]

Wow, that one was SUPER epic, really liked it! Also, Sharm's voice fits the song perfectly. And the changes in tempo... Wonderful, I consider this my favourite song since Stay by my Side. Don't me wrong, your other songs are (almost) awesome, but this one really nailed it imo! Great work!

[@TsukiShimizu]

+Kjoergoe That is a problem similar to the one I have - I really enjoy quite a bunch of Gav's songs so I can't even pick a favourite to begin with. :D I rather have a list of "awesomes songs by miracle of sounds, that I enjoy the most" :)

[@DrKjoergoe]

Kirinkun That would be a looong list ^^

[@jareddrakencondor4187]

Hey Gav... I've followed your channel since Vol 1 but this song is a masterpiece of its own.... It's pure sorcery and I am spellbound. Keep goin with the great work. With best wishes from Germany

[@facwrites4564]

Damn the duo made the song a whole allot better

[@PabloNavarrete5780]

Man, I've been listening to this song the whole weekend. It's amazing like all the ones you've made, the music makes me feel like it is indeed a dark, yet epic adventure and your voice and Sharm's compliment it at an amazing level. I'll be honest, you are one of the reasons I want to become a musician.

[@zgredczwartyniesamowity363]

i love this melody from "You Died" song

[@aristocraticcthulhu3831]

Another masterpiece, well done Gav :)

[@Spartansoldier217]

Is it even possible for you to make a bad song? Are you even human?

Gav is actually a magical Irish spirit of music. Which is also why his hair is always perfect.

[@luminouswanderer]

Gotta say, this is still one of my favorites, so glad you remastered it, Gavin! I hope this song gets more of the attention it deserves. :)

[@apsuenbwyfer11]

the camera work in this video is absolutely breathtaking.

[@sanguisdominus]

Two DS3 tracks!? Yeah, sure, milk the last DS game. Seriously, milk it. Make a fuckton of DS3 songs. Your Bloodsouls tracks are my fave, so it's impossible for you to make enough DS3 songs - as far as I'm concerned.

[@BBb-wv3hj]

omg...how could you surpass yourself?!?I've been a fan of your music for years and this just blew me away. the lil medly snuck in from "you died" touched me and GAh. this is beyond words. I usually hate female vocals in rock because it always seems to try and challenge or overcome the music but this synched up so well I'm in tears. thank you so much for creating this cinematic beautiful audio life. you guys deserve to be up there with E.S.
