Two Steps From Hell - Birth of a Hero (Extended)

Just an extended (and slightly edited) version of the song Birth of a Hero, by Two Steps From Hell. Originally just made for my own satisfaction, but a few people wanted me to upload it, so here it is.
The picture is from Guild Wars 2, and I do not own anything related to either the song or the picture.

[@Savathor]

There have been some requests about using this version for other videos, and you are of course all welcome to do that. Just remember to give proper credits (including the makers of the original music) please!

[@ninaciaramaglia3311]

I want to make a video with this music but how do you put the music with the video

[@Savathor]

+Nina Ciaramaglia Not entirely sure what you mean, but if you want to use this piece of music for another video, you will first need to download the youtube file and convert it into an MP3 file. There are plenty of ways to do this, google is your friend :).

[@theomeester90]

+Savathor i will use it in my dreams, and after life to continue fighting the hordes of the cabal in darkness with that giant sword ive been given, and the fire coming from my veins, you and i are the same

[@yinoda3175]

For a extended version you did pretty good for yourself

You've always been cautious. Even scared. What's been happening has never affected you personally. But now it's closer. Now it's your friends. The people you love. Now they're in danger. In pain. Now it's time for the armor. The sword. The cape. You always feared the night, but now's the time to rule it. If you're going to bleed then you won't bleed alone. If you're going to die, then your tomb will be built high from the bodies of your enemies. This music is playing in your head. Go!

My DM played this when my character, a rightful prince whose family had been ousted when he was an infant, succeeded, alone, in a series of trials to claim the royal heirloom sword. It was one of the best moments of that D&D campaign, emphasized by the music.

People are listening to rock bands around the world and here I am not getting enough of these soundtracks...... Love two steps from hell!

[@daenor7807]

Just writing this as I listened gave me shivers and brought tears to my eyes I found it so beautiful, read it slowly with the music: The field is in ruins. the defenders in disarray. the hordes closing in. the hero stands up straight as he looks about him seeing the hopelessness.... and he sets forth, to confront the enemy head on.... But he is not alone, one by one the defenders rally to him... for one last charge

[@chrisd2051]

If I had any poetic talent, I would write an ode to how well this is done.

Here is my humble offering in the way of an ode: The birth of a hero, you are the one Wonderfully extended, so very well done To you my heart thrills with a joy so bright Because of you my soul takes flight Thanks to you, I hold the world in my handsWhatever you say I can do, I can Unfettered by darkness, you have broken my bands My thoughts now as bright as the gold desert sands.

[@whtwolf100]

The old monk rose from his pillow, He had sat so long, feigning weakness...years...decades. He joined the temple long ago, resolved to destroy his rage before it finished destroying him. Now as he rose, he felt nothing but a satisfaction in being able to protect his students. His body, half broken by that rage, seemed to swell to titanic proportions as the monks presence towered over the temple. he could hear the whirring clank of the approaching army. A gentle sigh escapes him, aas he begins to stretch calmly, watching with pride as he sees his students flee, hoping, he had made them as ready for the world as he could.

[@vladokrejic3255]

Muzika koja nadahnjuje, ima duboku duhovnu konotaciju. Ona sluzi da ljudima koji su dozivili duhovni pakao, izvede na svijetlo. I muzika koju nemoze svako osjetiti na pravi nacin. Two steps from hell, sluzi za podizanje morala ljudima koji su bili ili su upravo 2 koraka do pakla. Ljudi koji su materijalisti, tesko ovo mogu osjetiti. Odlicni ste i samo naprijed u daljnjem radu. Samo prema svijetlu, glavu gore Boziji ratnici. Zivjeli.

[@daelutherikke2886]

What I see when i listen to this. A War-Maiden on the battlefield cradling her dead younger brother like she did when he was just a babe. 'YOU LET HIM DIE, HOW COULD YOU!' Were the only words going through her mind as the enemy advances. She numbly picks herself up. Raising herself up her great-sword she yells her battle-cry and advances towards the enemies who took her Little brother. The last thoughts that ran through her mind that day were. 'YOU SOULLESS BASTARDS I WILL KILL EVERYONE OF YOU!' 'Great Valkyries let me into Valhalla, let me see my Brother.' 'On this day I fight for a cause worth dying for.' As the enemies surround her she takes as many as she can with her before the blade in the back takes her to Valhalla...

[@daenor7807]

Dael Utherikke a bit violent and aggressive for this pure hearted music but reading this while listening did send a shiver down my spine, let’s say this girl is the main characters best friend at the moment where it’s time to risk everything, that’s her motivation and the main characters is pure like the music
