As night fell across the Mojave wasteland, Legionaries would gather by the campfire, and engage in the time honoured tradition of telling ghost stories. Some spoke of the Sierra Madre, a city of the dead. Some spoke of the rumours that their comrades has survived the Divide. The legend spoken about in the most hushed of tones, however, was that of the Burned Man - Joshua Graham, who's true name Caesar, forbade legionaries from speaking under threat of death (Damnatio memoriae).
"Speak Not of the Burned Man" is a folk song that sprung up on the Mojave front some time after the first battle of Hoover Dam. Its author is unclear, likely a young Legionary who's name was lost to time and life was lost in the Second Battle. It is said that anyone caught singing the song was sentenced to a minimum of 30 lashes. Once the Centurions had retired for the night, the young recruits would gather by the fire, take out their battered old guitar, and softly sing the haunting tale of the Malpais Legate,

Legionary 1: Wait I thought we couldn’t speak of the Burned Man?
Legionary 2: Yes, but Caesar never said anything about singing about him.
This song is a perfect companion to the one about Lanuis
I can see a group of legionaries on patrol far from prying eyes telling the story around the camp fire
His fire is what destroy his body, his fire is what accompanied him while is fallen, his fire is what he make crawl to his people, his fire is what make him survive.
His fire was love, his people love, God's love.

"For the Malpais Legate walks again; a will that would not bend
But Hell doth have no fury, like the foe you once called friend"
That
To be fair every legion playthrough I did I'd almost become pious towards him like meeting a saint of the legion in the flesh when I went to Zion canyon
Damn this is amazing! 'speak not of the burned man'!
Do you think Ceasar regrets what he did to Joshua? Why he tries to bury him so much? The one man who knew Edward and reminded him he wasn't a god. Because of this Ceasar had to kill him but Edward hated having to do it. At least that's my head cannon
"Why did the Legion lose the first battle?"
""Its not going to happen again, thats all I have to say about it."
"I heard the commander of the frist battle was called The Burned Man."
"And I've heard it a bad idea to tempt the wrath of Caesar. Change the subject."
I fully agree with you. I think he buries the pain of losing his one friend, the cofounder of the Legion and the only one who saw him as human. What a tragic fate, for both of them. Graham lives with the sins and scars of his time as the Malpais Legate, and Caesar will die a lonely tyrant, whom nobody truly knew.
@@scapegoat1440 I do think it would be cool instead of saying 'Ceasar greatest shame' it said 'Edwards greatest shame' maybe have a bunch of whispering when Edwards name is said like this first time the legionarys have heard it
@@adamgehling594 It’s a good idea, but personally I just can’t see Legionaries ever risking saying Caesar’s first name in-universe. Not even sure how many would know his name! Maybe I could released a version like that at some point though!
If you have any other song ideas let me know!
@@scapegoat1440 ohhhh or you could make it super brutal. At the end lanius walks over and decapites the singer and everyone screams as he just butchers them
@@scapegoat1440are you just planning to do legion songs? Cause a song about Mr House/vegas along the lines of 'viva Las vegas' could be cool. Oh or a song about the khans. The escape from califoria. Being broken beaten and reaching vegas. Having peace. Then the ncr came again and this time they will not run they will stand. They will fight. And you will die
Dude im absolutely begging you on my knees to put this on Spotify so i can repeat this when im working
You should totally post this stuff to Spotify it's great!
Oh yes. Love folksongs for Fallout. Again such a rich idea thats almost never been touched, at least in terms of original ideas and not just a cover with changed words like we saw in New Vegas. Would love to hear how the others might sound you mention in the description.
2:07 I see what you did there...
Hahahaha wasn't intentional, just happened to fit the song 😉
this is absolutely amazing. I’ve listened to like 20 times. Keep up the good work.
Another good one, you're doing great keep it up!
As a New Californian Republican, I will say his name. Joshua Graham!
What the fuck how do you have only 700 subs, this shit goes HARD
Damn that was fast
Hi multiple discords on arma
has fallen in love with these music videos
I didnt realise there was a crossover in the Arma and Fallout fanbase! I'm glad you guys have enjoyed them!
@scapegoat1440 Absolutely!! Have them on blast ingame haha and we shout you out💯💯
@@scapegoat1440 I will probably recommend this to my group and see what they think, sidenote do you sing these yourself? They're great!
@@reapereye2122 I'm honoured! Glad you enjoy them enough to share with your friends! I do not sing them unfortunately, I do use an AI for that. I write all the lyrics and use AI assistance to generate samples/variations which I then arrange and edit into a final song.
@@scapegoat1440 Nice! What AI do you use?
What a good song !
Will you do one on Vulpes and the frumentarii ? Or perhaps one on Ulysses ? Or even one on the conquering of Denver or Phoenix ?
Great idea!
When I was but a lad I remember I was there when the malpais legate marched on the Hoover Dam I was there when the whole lines fell I remember every second of it like I'm still there to hear my brothers die around me ........ I remember the legates fall into the canyon I remember that even when the flames licked his very being he didn't utter a single scream or yell just stared at us with eyes those eyes of pain and betrayal, of remorse and regret and there hasn't been a day where I can't see his eyes look into our souls as we threw him into hell......
I absolutely adore this song. And I though lanius's song was good. But this is something else.
Im downloading this song to my phone since its so badass
Incredibly underrated. Is there a lore reason to use the Profligate pronunciation of Caesar, or was it a program limitation, out of curiosity?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great day
I'm gonna say something a little controversial... But this feels more like an NCR song to mock the Legion.
I have a couple reasons.
First, there is no way any Legionary would DARE speak of Joshua Graham. Even the Frumentarii who actively hunt him know better.
Second, the pronunciation of Caesar. It's See-sar, not Kai-Sar. Which is how nearly every NCR trooper pronounce it.
Burned Man is specifically what Legionnaires called him and the mispronunciation of the name was AI
@@blazergamer6425No look at the marching song for Legate Lanius. There they pronounce both Lanius and Caesar correctly, the commentor is definitely on to something
@@ironduke5058 I still have no idea how an NCR trooper would even know who the burned man was let alone the entire story of what went down
@@blazergamer6425 It doesn't need to make complete sense my man, he could've found out by tee courier possibly telling him. It doesn't make sense why a legionarie would be singing this song either, he'd be executed by anyone within earshot instantly. But still you ignored that and just enjoyed the song, as you should
@@ironduke5058 plenty of legionnaires talk about the burn man around campfires which is where the term burned man comes from I personally just feel like it's a grammar error nothing too deep
Sounds like blasphemia to me! Don't let your Decanus catch you singing a song like this!
@@stephenwood6663 What the Decanus doesn’t know can’t hurt him 🤫
Nice :>
"In Hoc Signo Vinces."
And I hear the bad idea at the temp to Wrath of ceaser change the song
Summus Augustus!
