FIRES OF WAR
Em G Cmaj7 D
Stone by stone
Em G Cmaj7 D
Cracked, crushed, fallen
Em G Cmaj7 D
Beauty burned
Em G Cmaj7 D
Erased, but not forgotten
Em G Cmaj7
I'll take your melodies
D Em G Cmaj7
May your last breath
D Em G Cmaj7
Fill the air with embers
D Em G Cmaj7 D
I inhale
Em Bm
In their blood I will stand
A G
Let the waning light of man
C F E
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
Em Bm
Till our time burns away
A G
Until our embers fade to grey
C F E
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
Em G Cmaj7
My grief is swollen
D Em G Cmaj7
In rusty chains
D Em G
Tethered to the killing wheel
Cmaj7 D Em G Cmaj7
Sun up, sun down, sun up, sun down again
D Em G Cmaj7
One burning candle
D Em G Cmaj7
One wind whipped flame
D Em G Cmaj7
I carry in my teeth like an animal
D Em G Cmaj7 D
Vengeance, my strength
Em Bm
In their blood I will stand
A G
Let the waning light of man
C F E
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
Em Bm
Till our time burns away
A G
Until our embers fade to grey
C F E
Cast my shadow on the fires of war
C F E

Bet this one was tricky to learn, I love how the guitar dances around the melody and your emphasis on the breaths with the lyrics 💜🎶

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you so much, Sharm! It was indeed a tricky one and I had to change some things around to be able to play and sing at the same time =P I'm really glad you liked it, it means a lot!

[@MorgottofLeyendell]

The peoples of Middle-Earth thank you for taking the great task of bearing the One Ring Gustavo.

[@GustavoSteiner]

Don't thank me yet, I'm not sure where I left that ring 😂😂

[@idraote]

I am not a gamer, therefore for most of these songs I don't have the original in my ear. Listening to your beautifully performed covers, though, I don't feel the need to go check the original.

[@GustavoSteiner]

Ah that's an amazing compliment! I'm really glad you're enjoying my music and that it stands on its own. I hope I can keep recording more songs you'll like! =)

[@maurtrias]

Hey Gustavo! I've recently noticed your channel since I just started playing the guitar and, man.... Let me tell you, not only are you helping lots (much, much more than any other guitar site/app), but your awesome music and voice is helping me get through tough times, like when I'm not at my best or during exam periods. I can't thank you enough, really. Best of lucks from now on, may your channel keep growing on new subscribers (like myself :^]). P.S. I know I'm kinda late, since this video was posted a year ago, but are we going to get a version of this piece on Spotify? I'd assume Warner Bros holds it's rights, but hope is the last thing ever lost :)

[@GustavoSteiner]

Hey there! Oh man, thank you so much for your comment! It means the world to me, to know that my music is making a difference. I'm so glad you found the channel - welcome! I hope I can keep posting new videos that you'll enjoy as well. And I really hope that playing the guitar will also help you through the good and the tough times - it's quite healing and therapeutic. Wishing you all the best, my friend! P.S. I tried to get this song of Spotify, but since it doesn't actually have an official release, I'm not able to go through with a cover of it... Sorry!

Não entendo até hoje porque esse game não virou filme

[@GustavoSteiner]

Realmente, merecia né!?

[@MorgottofLeyendell]

This is so good, thank you for sharing your talents. God Bless.

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you so much, Alastair, I'm glad you enjoyed it! =D

[@TheBlueSascha]

What beautiful, unexpected drop! I love the fact that you've used really simple chords, so that even beginners like me can get the hang of it! (Other than the B minor. That chord is my arch nemesis XD)

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you as always, Sascha! This song was challenging to turn into an acoustic version, so I'm really glad you liked it! I hope you have lots of fun playing it, ESPECIALLY those B minor chords hahah Play it so many times that the nemesis will become an old friend =P

[@Luu-l]

Incrível, sempre que tenho tempo venho ver seus vídeos recentes, melhor que muitos cantores famosos por aí hahaha, parabéns amigo

[@GustavoSteiner]

Muito obrigado, Luiz! Muito bom saber que você está curtindo minhas músicas! Abraço =)

[@PinkEggsAndHam]

speechless. but....thankyou for this. it's very beautiful. it kinda reminds me a lot of the bad things going on in the world.

[@GustavoSteiner]

I'm very glad you liked it, my friend! Thank you again for suggesting this song =) With so much senseless violence going on out there, I hope music can give us a bit of joy and peace. Cheers.

[@ivanstayner8818]

I have another request that you might like. "Curse of the sad Mummy." And I can't get over how amazing your voice is for these types of songs. It just works. Idk why or how. But it just fits so well. Amazing job.

[@christinebordes9991]

Oh thanks for the suggestion, this video with this title is so cute. Pleasant discovery. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnLZiIlsgtBmbZY I admit that I am curious ahead of the vocal explosion a little after three minutes, if Gustavo sang this title. :)

[@GustavoSteiner]

Oh I didn't know that one either! Thank you for the suggestion, Ivan, and for finding the video, Christine. I'm really glad you're enjoying my music, Ivan, I hope you'll like my future covers as well! I'm working on some great songs =)

[@T0NT0]

Perfetto

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you! =D

[@ТимофейКондрашов-у2с]

Наконец-то, Густаво, моя любимая песня из видеоигр! Шикарно, лайк!)

[@GustavoSteiner]

It's awesome that I got to record your favorite one! And I'm glad you liked it =D

[@StuntcatTV]

Man, you always dig out the coolest songs 😎 That one is a complex thing too, never heard such a jazzy warrior tune before. Cheers from Austria, have a great weekend ✌

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you very much! It always helps a lot when people request or suggest songs, and this was one of those times. I'm glad you liked it, it's a great song =) Cheers to Austria, and hope you have a great one as well, my friend!

[@eruan465]

Hello, thank you for this amazing video. May I ask you for the tab of this song?

[@GustavoSteiner]

I'm glad you liked it! I don't really make any tabs for my covers, but I do put all the chords in the description =)

[@valerieleajackson9152]

aw Gustavo, will this be on Spotify as well? I really love the song and your beautiful voice makes it even better ;)

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you so much, Valerie! I'm always happy to hear you're enjoying my music! I'll work on sending it to Spotify soon =D Hope you're doing great!

Valeu, Thiago! Muito feliz que você está curtindo meus covers =D

[@toychicacz7194]

wow this song is so amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!! 🥺 this song make me a little bit cry

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you were moved by it =D

[@christinebordes9991]

I don't remember this title. I'm going to check it out, because you appropriate the songs so much that I sometimes forget that I've heard them before and even liked them. There is a phrase in the lyrics of this song that haunts me and that I would like to get rid of, but I doubt I will ever get there. I really liked your interpretation and I love your thumbnail! Thank you Gustavo, it was great! :)

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you, Christine! Although it's a very different atmosphere, this is still a Lord of the Rings song, and that's always exciting to me =) I'm glad you liked the thumbnail as well, it started as a joke and I decided to just go with it haha Have a great weekend!

[@ferrisburgh802]

Great performance. Really love the song...

[@GustavoSteiner]

Glad to hear that, James! It was a challenging one and I had to change things around, but I'm happy with the results =)

[@dragosmahuev4686]

Cool!

[@GustavoSteiner]

Thank you! =)

[@Black_Wolf03]

It would be nice if this video was with tabs

[@GustavoSteiner]

Sorry man, I don't make tabs, but I hope the chords in the description will help =)

One of my favorite game series and youtubers in one video? I'm in! (Awesome video btw)
