Hi!
This is Sacrifice, the 2017 OP for Berserk. After the amazing reception that my cover of Inferno got, I decided to also do the OP for the second season (also after numerous requests.) I think it came out very well, so enjoy!

Lyrics:
On this broken earth not a single scream is heard
Why we stay, I can’t say
And through all the pain just a single light remains
I can see, you’re here with me
So until all of the foes in front of me
Fade away I’ll carry on eternally.
I can hear their screams saying that I’ll never be free
Purity, I’ll never see
That all of my strife in this blank and starless life
Just a waste, I’ll never change.
And within my gaze I see them call to me
It’s a soundless cry that echoes endlessly
I don’t care to know at all how this story will come to an end
Just as long as you can smile once again
I will fight until the end of this dark and lonely tragedy
Breaking fate until we’re free
‘Till one day I succeed
Passing through the darkened road that is in front of me
It was like the light had gone away
I can only cling onto the past that calls and pleads
The guilt I can’t escape
I will struggle at your side, I won’t run or hide, I’ll show I’m alive
I don’t care to know at all how this story will come to an end
Just as long as you can smile once again
I will fight until the end of this dark and lonely tragedy
Breaking fate until we’re free
And if I’m just a pawn, trapped by the hands of god,
I’ll risk my bonds and carry on till light breaks the dawn
I will fight until the end of this dark and lonely tragedy
For the ones who still believe
I will struggle at your side, I won’t run or hide, I’ll show I’m alive

I am sure that is the reason for so many Clang in the anime. Is certainly Illuminati work designed in their secret base in area 51.

[@NorrisCFuhReal]

If you really read and listen to the lyrics this is basically Guts’s promise to Casca. He’s basically telling her no matter what I will fight on until we are finally free and I will struggle and fight just to see you smile again. Damn that’s deep!!! My chest! Lol

[@oshanesinclair5694]

For real, it's like primarily to her, but is also to these new companions that he has taken on a great sense of duty and responsibility for. They transformed him into a greater version of himself, despite the absolute darkness he went through after the eclipse.

Guts will keep fighting for Casca no matter what, and that's what I never realized until I actually paid attention to this song. But how will he fight for her if she can't even be near him without going into cardiac arrest, even after having her mind restored?!

I know everyone hates the Berserk animation but I loved it an wished they could’ve continued an wished it could’ve been done before the legend Kentaro Miura passed away. Hopefully oneday a studio can pick it back up an finish the chapters ahead cuz Berserk is one of the underrated GOAT of manga an has yet to reach its full potential in the anime verse.
