Lyrics:
From what I've gathered, you grew up nice and sheltered
With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies
And mama gave me a magic clicker
Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say
C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing
Of the fire you're bearing, the eye of the darkness, your light
So you were drawn to stories early on?
My dreams would light up my imagination
And you had nightmares night and day?
Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away
Who knew?
So true...
So here is a clue of hope to remember
Visions, they come true, obeying the light switch too
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface, oh
And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers
Of hardboiled killers became best-sellers
(And the award goes to... Alan Wake!)
It was all too much, I had to get away
The story's the end-all, a piece of true fiction
Made meaningless in the face of creation
But there is more to it than meets the eye
I never meant for it to ruin my life that way
Would you say you lived a jaded lie?
Dark shades could never save the day
So sad...
But true!
Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch
A gift or a curse? A reality made of dreams
Show me the Champion of Light
I'll show you the Herald of Darkness
Lost in a never-ending night
Diving deep to the surface, oh

Awesome you did the dance too 👌🏼 do you train yourself to death growl or is that a gift you’re born with? Great cover!

I'm super glad Old Gods (and Poets naturally) are getting more attention after AW2. Maybe we'll even get some covers of Poets' music one day, winkwink :D

[@Spacehalfelf]

Dark Ocean summoning next

[@Mikx100]

Yes! It would be perfect!

[@ovelhadogelo]

I am so freaking happy you did the silly dance, my goodness! Bless you V, keep up the amazing work as always!! Like people are saying: Dark Ocean Summoning (and my personal request "Take Control") soon, we hope.

[@RaptorJesus]

How could you perform the song and *not* do the dance? I don't see how that's even physically possible.

[@JordanGreen-yc8vv]

Yes would love to see that 😮

[@genuser135]

A piece of true fiction

[@alienatedpoet1766]

I loved in-game how everyone did the dance slightly differently. And you not just learned the dance, but you also did it in your own ways (granted part of it is because many of them aren't professional dancers and are slightly clumsy with it, but it still shows personality. Many people who try to learn are perfectionists. Glad to see you don't do that.)

[@19Sephirot93]

Alan Wake: Bewildered, just going with the flow and not tf knowing what's going on but playing along Door: Totally trolling, having the time of his life messing with Alan and taking a break from whatever tf he is normally doing Sam/Alex: An actor playing a grumpy detective who doesn't do fun but does it because it is at the same time his role as actor, true self in the real world and fictional self and therefore being a bit stiff

[@gentlemangamerec7025]

This is actually peak Alan Wake 2 posting

[@_cauo_2103]

my God, Sam Lake NEEDS to see this man. THIS IS TRUE FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@cjrecio5702]

Good news, Poets of the Fall saw it!

[@kutlumzrak2689]

Metal growl in multiple tones and cadence's are seriously mind boggling.

[@veryananduren8513]

This man growled with three different tones. I cant even...

[@JACorvin]

V, my man! Please do more Old Gods of Asgard stuff. Children of the Elder God and Dark Ocean Summoning would rock!

[@TheRavenLord1]

There’s bangers, and then there’s a headbanger. This is a headbanger

[@drithos]

The song is just so amazing! And the patch, the keffiyeh, you sir prove again and again to be an absolute king, and every time I am glad to be a fan of such an awesome person! 👑

[@XellosStranger]

What a masterpiece. And yes we demand a full journey of Little V.... The musical!

[@AiKakProsto299]

Ты всегда лучше всех !

[@aviatornic2839]

What an absolute blast of a song. The people who made it very clearly had so much fun putting it together. Your cover captures that energy perfectly

[@Iwamura1]

Thats was EPIC!🔥🔥 Waiting for Dark Ocean Summoning!

[@milkdropsba1792]

Alan Wake created this channel just so LittleV could create this cover

[@NewEmail-lk2my]

I'm in love with V wearing that scarf.❤

[@jvalfin3359]

Awesome, I didn't expect this! Little V even replicated the dancing! Also, the fact that it isn't just a carbon copy, but rather includes screams and instrumentally heavier parts to make it different.

[@ThornEthics]

i dont even look for music anymore, i just assume whatever you end up covering is a bop

[@alyessamaddox7022]

I like that jacket

[@hush8469]

You freaking did it it!!! And here I was finally and slowly letting this die down from my playing on my playlist and now a pure shot of adrenaline surges back to the top of my queue

[@ArcRay20]

is this like the most work you've put in to one of these? all the costumes, doing the dance number for each outfit you danced in, all the editing to make it like this. like, this came out great dude.

[@elizeo9520]

This song is such a vibe, I've been listening to the original on repeat before this.

[@OSpartan1170]

will sell my soul for a djent cover of “Hell is Forever”

[@mirrorslul]

The costume switch between panels was a great idea. A small detail but very cool one.

Goddamn! What a flawless cover! Your range is quite amazing! Even complimented with the choreography. Hell yeah!
