Fan translation of the lyrics:

"Perhaps the gods repent with their death,

The gods cleansed it with their death

To seal the power within us

And bequeathed their power to their children

They will banish

Banish! (CHANT)

Perhaps the gods that banished, knew, from long ago

Banish! (CHANT)

The Truth that was concealed

The Truth of the First Flame, the Truth of Life

The Truth of Life was concealed

Life was born from the Dark

The bright light only segregates from the Truth

Perhaps the gods died to repent their secret

The secret truth of the Fire

Repent (CHANT)

That the First Dark was the true secret

Dark Souls (CHANT)

Dark embraces all

Dark Souls (CHANT)

Even the gods

And ah....

Even yourself"

Its not about how much loot we get after killing stuff...

its about how good we have gotten on our journey in this beautiful game.

and when we reach the end some of us might think " i did it! i beat darksouls 3 ! "

seeing all the history of the bosses and the creatures plus the land.

We won.

but at what cost?

god bless this game.

@Hisham Elseweifi If you want to compare this to a style of music it’d probably be orchestral, but it could be a lot of other things depending on your point of view.

Hisham Elseweifi

14w

@Bahamut 0112 Haha, you are right! I have noticed that some games have some pretty complex music. However, I really want to believe that there is something out there that at least nearly compares to this. I wonder if this composer still writes music, and if it is in a similar style to this.

Hisham Elseweifi

14w

@geroge foyldd Yeah, now that I think about it, Vivaldi (even though I think he was viennese) wrote a choral piece that reminds me of some dark souls tracks. Maybe the composer of dark souls drew some inspiration from him haha. The piece I am thinking about is either Nulla in mundo or Stabat Mater–probably the latter. To be honest though, the DS sound track is something totally unique; maybe it is the fact that it is accompanied by incredible visuals and an interactive story. Nah, in itself is something uniquely beautiful. Anyways, you are right, the music always gave me such a dark holy feeling, and what comes to mind is something circa 1700s Italy (not that I know my European history lol). I will totally put on an Italian choral playlist, thanks for the response!

@JallerXZL19 It is called Lothric, Where the transitory lands of the Lords of Cinder converge. In venturing north, the pilgrims discover the truth of the old words. “The fire fades, and the lords go without thrones.”When the link of fire is threatened, the bell tolls, unearthing the old Lords of Cinder from their graves. Aldrich, saint of the deep. Farron's Undead Legion, The Abyss Watchers, And the reclusive lord of the Profaned Capital, Yhorm the Giant. Only, in truth... The Lords will abandon their thrones.and the Unkindled will rise. Nameless, accursed undead,unfit even to be cinder.And so it is.That ash seeketh embers.

If humans were the ones who inherit the Dark Soul, and the humanities we collect in the first game are but fragments of the Dark Soul itself, then the name "Dark Souls" means "Humans".

Dark Souls has always been a game about humanity itself.

It's headcanon that, since the ashen one hears epic music whenever fighting a boss, this is the music that each heir of fire and lord of cinder hear whenever the ashen one enters their arena. The sound of impending doom at the hands of the small creature running back into the battle with enough determination to make undyne the undying give up. The sound of their constant victories eventually resulting in their permenant defeat due to how the ashen one learns and adapts with each defeat.
