Aviators - Victorious (Inspired by Elden Ring | Symphonic Alternative)

Stream Download Instrumental version: First upload of 2024, and it’s a long one! This slow-building anthem is a tribute to the most honorable and accomplished warrior of Elden Ring’s tarnished. The song describes Godfrey, The First Elden Lord’s lust for battle and his respect for the warriors who gave him a fight to remember as he faces off with his final rival. For this song I also had the help of 139 lovely people from the discord server, coming together as a chorus of spectators! A huge thanks to everyone who participated, and to @fishpaste2100for mastering this track. Lyrics: For a time away I walked with the exiled and prayed For a conflict to call me back home To the champion’s throne When the mountains quake There’s strength left and glory to take A contender that stands in my path Here to tempt my wrath When circled by vultures I keep my nerve still With honor and a blessing I conquered each thrill And though I had fallen I’ll come roaring back again As claws are unleashing The rivals will dance Like songs of a ritual Across the expanse Of order in ruin And nothing but pride to defend A crown for the victorious The battle will be glorious And they will call our names In the valley of the saints A test of strength to lay it bare Survivor takes the lion’s share And tempers won’t give way ’Til we’ve earned a hero’s grave As the last one standing brave No, I cannot not be caged Like the jaws of the apex’s rage For our nature has left but one way To honor the pain Every chance to die Is inspiration to survive In a furious duet of blades Two stars on the stage When circled by vultures I keep my nerve still With honor and a blessing I conquered each thrill And though I had fallen I’ll come roaring back once again As claws are unleashing The rivals will dance Like songs of a ritual Across the expanse Of order in ruin And nothing but pride to defend A crown for the victorious The battle will be glorious And they will call our names In the valley of the saints A test of strength to lay it bare Survivor takes the lion’s share And tempers won’t give way ’Til we’ve earned a hero’s grave As the last one standing brave The veil is torn A moment of truth For our sons and our daughters Is battle born The blood of the covenant Thicker than water Within the storm The lion meets your eyes A severance The splitting of fates And the passing of our own Remembrance The first and the last in a flurry of fists Bled in reverence So may the true king rise A crown for the victorious The battle will be glorious And they will call our names In the valley of the saints A test of strength to lay it bare Survivor takes the lion’s share And tempers won’t give way ’Til we’ve earned a hero’s grave As the last one standing brave
