I tread alone these valleys’ verge
by shadows veiled
impelled now only by this torch
I carry still by soil and sea
to seek your apotheosized effigy
at the altar I will collapse to my knees
and light a pyre that you might reach out to me
your hallowed form above me looms
my sentinel against the silent gloom
my weary mind, my body lame
want only for your warmth to thaw this frigid plain
its embers fade, swallowed in dusk
I yearned for your love
but you left me a husk
I would spill my veins if it would stir your heart
but it never will
I would quell my soul to stoke a flame in yours
but it never will
Though it flawlessly evokes the dark, gothic atmosphere of Bloodborne, this soundscape transcends mere homage and truly stands on its own. B E H O L D E N
