My first Elden Ring song! 2 more in the works, for Radahn and Ranni. This song's production was absolutely cursed, finishing it was harder than soloing Malenia... but we got there in the end! Big thanks to my boy Vaatividya for lending his dulcet voice to the spoken word section :) Support me on Patreon for early access to my songs: www.patreon.com/miracleofsound Enjoy!!
Thank you for having me on! I've been humming that chorus since I heard the first drafts :D It's cool that the song focuses so heavily on the falling leaves - they're beautiful and bestow grace, but are perhaps also proof that the Erdtree is slowly withering. Love the poetry of that
Always a joy to hear from BOTH of you! I hope to see Elden Ring spawn just as many great works as you gave us from Dark Souls. Bloodborne still needs at least one more though haha
@@miracleofsound To be fair I absolutely love how it represents the souls community's long wait for the game and how some were ultimately disappointed, while for others it was everything they had wanted.
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.
@@lichcoin6144 He also does a great job of weaving it together into a cohesive story, adding his own flair here and there but never anything big, and he always notes it as being his assumption/guess informed by the lore that actually is in game.
Just came here after listening to your Madara song on loop like 5 times, I'd be blown away if you and MoS did a Collab considering the raw talent you all have!
Okay I don't know if anyone pointed this out but it's genius In Moonlight Blue the text goes "With a watchful gaze on the skyline We look to the sweep of the stars My friend through many long lifetimes I guide your way from afar" and in Fallen Leaves the text goes "And the branches of gold on the skyline Reach out to the sweep of the stars The beginnings and endings of lifetimes A guidance of light from afar" Although the text is slightly different, it feels as if two people were singing about the same stuff from a different perspective. I don't know if it happens more in the songs but I thought I'd point it out.
Ever since Aviators dropped "We Rise," I was waiting to see what you'd do with Elden Ring. The two of you always take my breath away with your Soulsborne songs. (Honestly, you take my breath away with ALL your songs, but the Soulsborne stuff just hits like a punch to the gut.) And of course, I was not disappointed. The song is amazing and I am buying it on Bandcamp even as we speak. The video is also amazing, lending punch and power to music that really doesn't need it to make my hair stand on end. (Which, y'know, is also what happens when I listen to Kenneth Branagh doing the St. Crispin's Day speech.) Bravo!
@@penprp Take solace in knowing someone else shares your pain, lol. I too tried and screamed internally when it wasn't there (I just don't like Spotify much). Here's hoping it won't take 4 months to get there like the Horizon: FW song though!
@@penprpIT IS UP NOW! (Sorry for double posting, thought you might have liked to be informed, in case you didn't check again). Bless Gavin for both this piece and the quick fix! Gonna do what must be done as soon as I get home.
@@heroofkokoto4707 Yeah, I got the alert email as I headed to bed and immediately downloaded it. And have been listening to it on repeat while I work on stuff. Autism stimming FTW!
Absolutely blew this track out of the park. The lyricism, the slow parts intermingled with the crescendos and chorus all help to capture the spirit of the game in song form. LOVED that part with Vaatividya and how Gav's vocals were brought in. Probably one of my favorites of yours! 😎👍👍
I feel like this song can be perfectly described with the the "seems familiar but somehow unknown." It carries still that energy of previous souls songs you made and just trekking through hell itself on a mission greater than a mortal like yourself and yet it still manages to stand on its own with it's... elegance. I love your previous songs like A Thousand Eyes but this song in particular just has that regal nature to it, rather than rivers of blood and fire you treck across fallen leaves and snow, across halls of gold and nobility and even into silent catacombs. It's the same as previous souls games but feels different anyways, god I can't wait to give Elden Ring to try now.
Thanks, it's nice when people put so much thought into the themes & production style of the songs :) 'Regal' very much sums up the vibe I was going for with the music.
“A beautiful blue paints the rays of the moon.” This song is gorgeous, but the way that line is sung in particular shakes me to the core. Remarkable work, Gav!
For a moment I was curious if we were about to hear VaatiVidya's singing voice, but after experiencing his regular voice in action I don't think the world is ready for such a thing.
“I dreamt for so long…. My flesh was wrought hymns, but my blood harmonic…. ….Heed my words: I am Gavin, Miracle of Sound… …and I have never made a bad song.”
I know nothing of Elden Ring, but this song almost made me cry. Anyone who has lived under dictatorship knows about the cruel rule of the highborn and holy, and the ones who rise up from the lowest caste to become worse tyrants. Do you believe the words of the gilded and gold? In my country, they literally wear gold-both the regime and its supporters. They don’t understand their gold is false, like autumn leaves. They are gold because they are dead inside, and their country is decaying. Wake up and breathe, wake up and breathe.
I'm loving that the final 'Down come the leaves' depicts Godfrey's cutscene with the cinders of the Erdtree falling down. It also amuses me that the first and last 'Words of the Gilded and Gold' depicts Godrick and Godfrey respectively.
"Given time, technique never fails." This song was a long time coming with a lot of hurdles to jump over for it (hope you're doing well after getting COVID), but it was WELL worth the effort in the end. Another slam dunk as always, Gav!
Incredible, ever since you (and those you worked with) produced such phenomenal pieces for Bloodborne and DS3 waiting for a song has become one of my favourite things when it comes to From releases.
Your talents for weaving a weary and dreary narrative with your lyrics never fails! You can feel the sorrow and horror in your bones! Every Soulsborne song you've done is a banger! And Vaati! Your voice has reached so many to teach us the lore of the land!
This came out this early on Spotify, I’ve been listening to it nonstop. So surprised to see and hear Vaati in the song. Definitely worth the wait. Hands down my song of the year.
Me since release day: "It's only a matter of time until we get this." Me, now: "Okay, now y'all are just showing off." 👌 And oh my gosh. The *chills* from VaatiVidya doing the spoken verse! 👏👏👏
Aaaah this is awesome! Not only does it sound magestic and strong like the game's themes, but also flows so well and the main verse is great ! And of course, that part in the middle being a poem about the game's whole lore, while using the strenghts of Vatti's gentle and soothing voice togheter with your own (wich also is both many times)...oh beautiful, trully beautiful! Cheers from Brazil to you both, you never cease to amaze
Oh hell yeah. Has the grim, almost reserved vibe you'd expect from a soulslike. It took me about 2 seconds before I was completely sold on Vaatividya; damn fine voice for spoken word. There's also a few turns of phrase that particularly stood out to me, namely 'And the branches of gold on the skyline/Reach out to the sweep of the stars' and 'Taste of the tears/Stitches and scars/Spinning the spheres/We severed the stars' Maybe I'm just weak for celestial imagery.
When I first heard this, I was like “pretty good, although I think Aviators hits a bit more.” Then the next day it was in my mix and I was like “What was I saying?! This is just as good.” And it has been replayed so much since then! Thanks for making a amazing song, keep it up man!
One of these days, I want to see either a single collaboration song, or a single collaboration album, featuring these performers: 1. Miracle of Sound. 2. Aviators. 3. Colm McGuinness Music. 4. Sharm. 5. Peyton Parrish. 6. Karliene. 7. Samuel Kim Music. 8. Eric Hollaway. 9. JT Music. 10. Malukah.
@@theregalproletariat I know, but I was talking about those two collaborating with the other mentioned musicians on more than one song (could you imagine one song featuring the vocal [and musical] talents of Gavin, Peyton, Colm McGuinness AND Samuel Kim?).
Been listening since 7am when i saw it had dropped on Spotify immediately added to the souls playlist before even listening, now been waiting to see the video alongside it. Thank you Gavin this is a fantastic song and I know the struggle you had with getting this done and it's been a painful ride but I hope you know how incredible and most importantly inspiring not only your work is but you yourself are Gavin, big Love! 💜
It's funny to think that the first time I heard this song I hadn't played or watched or read anything about the game, and while the song is obviously well made, it didn't really resonate with me. And now that I played through the game and read every item's description, beaten every boss and 100% the game, I come back to your Elden Ring songs and now that I know, the lyrics sound so much better to me, and the song as a whole feels like a completely new one, and a great one at that. You and the people you with are always so talented at doing these songs, and you always manage to create sources of inspiration with them, and I think I'm not the only one thinking this way. Keep up the great work Gav, been a pleasure to wait and listen to all the songs you come up with since Level 1 until now, and hopefully for a long time to come !
I'm so late to this but I found this song through smart shuffle on spotify and when it got to the spoken word section I thought, "hey, that voice sounds so familiar. Sounds like Vaatividya, how wild is that?" Now I find the youtube video and see this! What a cool song. Been humming it all week. So happy to have found Miracle of Sound.
I mentioned in a tweet a while ago that your lyricism is one of my favourite parts of your music, and this song is an incredible example of that; I've been singing "And this light now bestowed on the lowly/cannot reach the dark corners of old/cruel rule of the highborn and holy/lies in smouldering ash in the cold" in the back of my head ever since you released the Patreon demo. Fantastic work.
I realize this comes from a position of extreme bias since Elden Ring has become one of my favorite games, but still: I don't think any other song, ever, has given me chills so many times over a single hearing. This is great Gav, thank you!
The moment I saw Vaati's name I knew I'd love it but yeah this is a good, easy to listen to song much love. I know you've got your ideas and the next few sorted but it would be great to see a song focusing on Godfrey / Horah Loux the First Elden Lord.
I do solemnly swear. To every living being, and every living soul. Now cometh the Age of Miracles. A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the sounds , a journey into song , limericks and deft beats .
I have listened to nothing but this song for hours, this is truly beautiful. I've yet to regain my creative drive since the pandemic, but seeing you release so many consecutive masterpieces in spite of anything inspires me to continue trying, just as your music itself inspires my writing. Thank you for all that you do.
I didn't want to listen to the song on Spotify because I was waiting for this RUclips video to fall. These videos always add so much to Gavin's music. And boy, was I not disappointed. I love how by the time I was halfway into the song on my first listen, it already felt like an old friend, yet still surprised me in some directions the melody took. And by the time I finished the second listen, it felt like the song was enveloping me in an embrace, a comfort amid the cruel world of an unbending golden order that does not seem overly concerned with its followers.
It's funny this song was delayed by your being ill, and it dropped at the exact right time for me to listen to it on repeat for the last few days during my own illness. It's oddly spirit lifting, top work Gav.
Thank you for your wonderful and truly amazing music and songs! As someone who has tried both normal writing and a very tiny bit of song writing, I have a very very slight understanding of how difficult it can be, and just wanted to say that I really appreciate how much work you put into your songs!
Gavin, you need to do this kind of thing again. Having a spoken word piece backed by actual sung lyrics is powerful. Further Vatti was a crazy good choice because the timbre of his voice complements your range super well. Seriously 10/10.
I know it's not important, and it was only there for a second, but I love the scene where the tarnished is slowly walking in the Rot Lake. Like, "I might be literally dying right now, but I have to look cool and dramatic while it happens."
This is awesome, dude! I'm glad you managed to get it out after the production hell you went through. Also the Vaati collab had me reading the title several times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating lol
This was awesome. I love how you differentiated it from your songs on the other from soft properties. This song really calls to the spirit and grandeur of elden ring. Fromsoft should honestly sponsor you at this point. I ended up trying dark souls because of your music and found a series I now hold dear as a result.
All that glitters is gold, All that shines is steel, Stone and earth will shatter Law and order shall scatter One shall rise blade in hand To bring the tiding of an elder
I didn't fully read the title, I just saw Elden Ring and knew I had to give it a listen. The moment I heard Vaati 's storytelling voice, I knew, this song up to the standard of the Golden Order! Pure gold indeed!
The fallen leaves tell a story Of how a musician became Elden Lord. In our home, across the fog, the Lands Between. Our seed will look back upon us, and recall The Miracle of Sound.
This song reminded me of the time I first found this channel with 'You Died' back in 2012. It's incredible to see the channel still continuing, still pumping out quality music. Incredible stuff, and of course a joy to see Vaati have a part!
The legend of songs sings again, joined by the legend of lore speaking words of truth, of another legendary game. Once again I find myself amazed and inspired. Thank you. Looking forward to hearing your next two, every song you've made about the soulsborne series I've loved greatly.
Just wow, Gav! I know your Soulsbourne songs hit hard, but I was not expecting this! I'm sorry to hear of all the frustration that it caused, but the end result is very much worth the effort. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard from you and the video is absolutely gorgeous!
“Do you believe the words of the gilded and gold” is a great line, if we assume that’s the attitude of the average lowly undead witnessing the fall from grace of the once great rulers and it captures, what I think, is a moment of reflection in otherwise selfish wanderers, could this kingdom be held up by untruths alone? Is it our turn to enter the gates together and free ourselves from those who shaped the world around us? Are they truly all powerful gods? Or shall we form a pact to summon one another to fight them in their current decrepit existence, for they no longer shepherd the land
I guess when you think about it, the Tarnished are kinda like fallen leaves. They came from grace (the tree), they fell and were blown around by the winds so they would be forced to drift away, discarded and replaced with little regard from their creator until one of them falls attached to a seed (the Tarnished we play as) that will sprout the next tree... or land on a spark bright enough to catch and burn everything down.
The sound is so unbelievably grand, amazing! And the ending caught me off guard, I can't pinpoint the reason, but it takes me back to your DS3/2 songs :D
So, if I got this right: Taste of the tears, stitches and scars - Godrick Spinning the spheres, we severed the stars - Radahn Touched the primordial, entropy lost - Rykard The carnal, corporeal suffer the cost - Mohg Ghosts in the deep watch over her shades - Morgott Awakened from sleep to falter and fade - Rennala Rot in the roots - Malenia And sleep in the womb - Miquella A beautiful blue paints the rays of the moon - Ranni
"Touched the primordial" with the glintstone crystals is more likely to reffer to Alzur, Lusat and sorcery overall "Aweken from sleep to falter and fade" with the Table of Lost Grace" could reffer to the Tarnished

Totally worth it tho, thank you for all the work and effort to finish it :)
Yes! More, more, more! The spoken part was done really well, I love your wordsmithing Gav and cannot get enough.
Can't wait to see what you do for Ranni
Was 1000% worth the wait
You mean Malenia, Blade of Miquella.
Thank you for having me on! I've been humming that chorus since I heard the first drafts :D
It's cool that the song focuses so heavily on the falling leaves - they're beautiful and bestow grace, but are perhaps also proof that the Erdtree is slowly withering. Love the poetry of that
Holy shit, its our boi!
Well if it isn't the man himself!
Thanks for joinng me for this one mate, you brought a real sense of gravitas to it :)

do you mean a part of this song, or apart?
Lord of Lore. What a title.
"Was it all that you wanted and more? Was it all you imagined before?" That's a big yes from me Gavin

Never in my mind i imagined i would hear Vaatividya singing... and yet i want MORE OF IT!

It’s not really singing, more speaking to music. Still sounds great and considering I don’t know Vaati’s musical background it might be for the best

Been listening since 7am when i saw it had dropped on Spotify immediately added to the souls playlist before even listening, now been waiting to see the video alongside it. Thank you Gavin this is a fantastic song and I know the struggle you had with getting this done and it's been a painful ride but I hope you know how incredible and most importantly inspiring not only your work is but you yourself are Gavin, big Love! 💜
The gradual build-up of the recitation part into the “A beautiful blue paints the rays of the moon.” gives me the shivers. Beautiful.
It's funny to think that the first time I heard this song I hadn't played or watched or read anything about the game, and while the song is obviously well made, it didn't really resonate with me. And now that I played through the game and read every item's description, beaten every boss and 100% the game, I come back to your Elden Ring songs and now that I know, the lyrics sound so much better to me, and the song as a whole feels like a completely new one, and a great one at that. You and the people you with are always so talented at doing these songs, and you always manage to create sources of inspiration with them, and I think I'm not the only one thinking this way. Keep up the great work Gav, been a pleasure to wait and listen to all the songs you come up with since Level 1 until now, and hopefully for a long time to come !
I'm so late to this but I found this song through smart shuffle on spotify and when it got to the spoken word section I thought, "hey, that voice sounds so familiar. Sounds like Vaatividya, how wild is that?" Now I find the youtube video and see this! What a cool song. Been humming it all week. So happy to have found Miracle of Sound.
I mentioned in a tweet a while ago that your lyricism is one of my favourite parts of your music, and this song is an incredible example of that; I've been singing "And this light now bestowed on the lowly/cannot reach the dark corners of old/cruel rule of the highborn and holy/lies in smouldering ash in the cold" in the back of my head ever since you released the Patreon demo. Fantastic work.
I edited it to fix a typo and RUclips stole my heart :( Gav save me
I had a really bad Friday but this made my day ! Thank you !!!
Thanks for the support!!
I realize this comes from a position of extreme bias since Elden Ring has become one of my favorite games, but still:
I don't think any other song, ever, has given me chills so many times over a single hearing. This is great Gav, thank you!
Love the Song, been following you for a long time man, keep up the awesome music!
Thanks for the support
The moment I saw Vaati's name I knew I'd love it but yeah this is a good, easy to listen to song much love.
I know you've got your ideas and the next few sorted but it would be great to see a song focusing on Godfrey / Horah Loux the First Elden Lord.
2:54 Yes, I do believe that Gavin Dunne is able to yet again amaze me with his music.
I do solemnly swear. To every living being, and every living soul. Now cometh the Age of Miracles. A thousand year voyage under the wisdom of the sounds , a journey into song , limericks and deft beats .
I have listened to nothing but this song for hours, this is truly beautiful. I've yet to regain my creative drive since the pandemic, but seeing you release so many consecutive masterpieces in spite of anything inspires me to continue trying, just as your music itself inspires my writing. Thank you for all that you do.
Vaati's narration was like a taser to the spine! Absolutely electric! Another MoS classic.
Love this song so much, thank you!
Thank you for the support!!
I didn't want to listen to the song on Spotify because I was waiting for this RUclips video to fall. These videos always add so much to Gavin's music. And boy, was I not disappointed.
I love how by the time I was halfway into the song on my first listen, it already felt like an old friend, yet still surprised me in some directions the melody took. And by the time I finished the second listen, it felt like the song was enveloping me in an embrace, a comfort amid the cruel world of an unbending golden order that does not seem overly concerned with its followers.
"Was it all that you wanted and more?"
that line describes exactly how I was feeling while playing, that game simply exceeded all my expectations
I literally started crying when I heard Vaati's voice. A masterpiece
It's funny this song was delayed by your being ill, and it dropped at the exact right time for me to listen to it on repeat for the last few days during my own illness. It's oddly spirit lifting, top work Gav.
The fallen leaves tell a story…
In our home, across the fog, the lands between.
To no surprise, Vaatividya's voice sounds amazing in song as well hehe. 😂
I didn't expect vaati to sing this well
Sick as hell! There's a darkness in it that gives so much more power to the game's story.
Thank you for your wonderful and truly amazing music and songs! As someone who has tried both normal writing and a very tiny bit of song writing, I have a very very slight understanding of how difficult it can be, and just wanted to say that I really appreciate how much work you put into your songs!
Gavin, you need to do this kind of thing again. Having a spoken word piece backed by actual sung lyrics is powerful. Further Vatti was a crazy good choice because the timbre of his voice complements your range super well. Seriously 10/10.
I know it's not important, and it was only there for a second, but I love the scene where the tarnished is slowly walking in the Rot Lake. Like, "I might be literally dying right now, but I have to look cool and dramatic while it happens."
This is the best song I've heard of yours in a long time, and I'm saying that as someone who hasn't played Elden Ring. Loved it!
I do love how this song gives off a Dreamlike melody, like its a memory, or a story out of a mythology
I will never get tired of your lyricism. Great job. Thank you both.
This is awesome, dude! I'm glad you managed to get it out after the production hell you went through. Also the Vaati collab had me reading the title several times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating lol
You never fail to disappoint.
I’ve been waiting for this song for a while, and man, it was worth it.
Love the parallels in the music between this and Midnight Blue
As soon as Elden Ring came out I was waiting with bated breath for this to come out. You didn’t disappoint!
MiracleOfSound never dissapoints, another banger to add to the playlist
Worth the wait as always!
Instant chills. Always looking forward to Gavin releasing new songs
I REALLY like the chorus on this on this one, the rhythm and beat feels really good to my ear. Nice work!
This was awesome. I love how you differentiated it from your songs on the other from soft properties.
This song really calls to the spirit and grandeur of elden ring. Fromsoft should honestly sponsor you at this point. I ended up trying dark souls because of your music and found a series I now hold dear as a result.
Tell me about it.
I started dark souls because my brother pressured me into playing it.
I thanked him.
This song is perfect. I can see why it took so long, this stuff really hits hard. I'm excited for the ones on Radahn and Ranni.
Got a chill when Vaatividya's chorus started, this is probably my new favorite thing to listen to.
This. Was WELL worth the wait.
By the Greater Will, this song is AWESOME.
this is an absolute masterpiece.
this song sounds like the heavens are singing to me, and im awestrucken with it's beauty.
All that glitters is gold,
All that shines is steel,
Stone and earth will shatter
Law and order shall scatter
One shall rise blade in hand
To bring the tiding of an elder
Man, the whole song is amazing. And the track in the chorus is just chef kiss. I love it when Gavin does this type of chorus.
Vaatividya's spoken lines give so much depth!
I didn't fully read the title, I just saw Elden Ring and knew I had to give it a listen. The moment I heard Vaati 's storytelling voice, I knew, this song up to the standard of the Golden Order! Pure gold indeed!
Truly makes me wonder how beautiful everything was when it was intact, before the events of the game and the shattering ofbthe elden ring
Fromsofts design philosophy is "this was once beautiful"
The fallen leaves tell a story
Of how a musician became Elden Lord.
In our home, across the fog, the Lands Between.
Our seed will look back upon us, and recall
The Miracle of Sound.
It's finally out! Let's go! Now everyone in the world, hush now and allow me to listen to this masterpiece on repeat for the next few days!
This song reminded me of the time I first found this channel with 'You Died' back in 2012.
It's incredible to see the channel still continuing, still pumping out quality music. Incredible stuff, and of course a joy to see Vaati have a part!
The legend of songs sings again, joined by the legend of lore speaking words of truth, of another legendary game. Once again I find myself amazed and inspired. Thank you. Looking forward to hearing your next two, every song you've made about the soulsborne series I've loved greatly.
I love this song. The lore, the beat, the lyrics, and the fact that you got Vaati on this. Perfect song, thank you Gavin.
Gavin's metal voice combined with Vaati's poetic voice... pure bliss
Just wow, Gav! I know your Soulsbourne songs hit hard, but I was not expecting this! I'm sorry to hear of all the frustration that it caused, but the end result is very much worth the effort. This is one of the best songs I've ever heard from you and the video is absolutely gorgeous!
“Do you believe the words of the gilded and gold” is a great line, if we assume that’s the attitude of the average lowly undead witnessing the fall from grace of the once great rulers and it captures, what I think, is a moment of reflection in otherwise selfish wanderers, could this kingdom be held up by untruths alone? Is it our turn to enter the gates together and free ourselves from those who shaped the world around us? Are they truly all powerful gods? Or shall we form a pact to summon one another to fight them in their current decrepit existence, for they no longer shepherd the land
I guess when you think about it, the Tarnished are kinda like fallen leaves. They came from grace (the tree), they fell and were blown around by the winds so they would be forced to drift away, discarded and replaced with little regard from their creator until one of them falls attached to a seed (the Tarnished we play as) that will sprout the next tree... or land on a spark bright enough to catch and burn everything down.
What a great song about my favourite game of all time. I can't thank you enough for that. And co-op with VaatVidya is absolutely stunning
Magnificent as always! And even better than the preview~
You really don’t miss. ⚔️
Dayum, Gavin, what a masterpiece! You have always impressed me, since I discovered your channel back in 2012 with 'Take It Back!'.
The sound is so unbelievably grand, amazing! And the ending caught me off guard, I can't pinpoint the reason, but it takes me back to your DS3/2 songs :D
Don't you love it when a song is just a little bit of an absolute banger? Seriously, stellar work Gav, as usual.
WOOHOO! Miracle Of Sound CONTENT! 🤩
I had no idea what to expect from Vaati's part and HOLY SHIT. It's so? Haunting. I love it. And the rest of the song too of course
I have legitimately had this song stuck in my head since it came out send help
"Do you believe? Do you believe now?~" IT'S SO GOOD
So, if I got this right:
Taste of the tears, stitches and scars - Godrick
Spinning the spheres, we severed the stars - Radahn
Touched the primordial, entropy lost - Rykard
The carnal, corporeal suffer the cost - Mohg
Ghosts in the deep watch over her shades - Morgott
Awakened from sleep to falter and fade - Rennala
Rot in the roots - Malenia
And sleep in the womb - Miquella
A beautiful blue paints the rays of the moon - Ranni
"Touched the primordial" with the glintstone crystals is more likely to reffer to Alzur, Lusat and sorcery overall
"Aweken from sleep to falter and fade" with the Table of Lost Grace" could reffer to the Tarnished
