Often, in the games we play, our characters pay grave prices for the
arcane or spiritual knowledge they gain, regularly with loss of
something within themselves, high tariffs of physical objects, or (if
others would have it their way) with their lives/health. On the flip
side of that, our characters could be the ones persecuting those they
feel are dangerous for their knowledge and abilities.
This
week's song was chosen because of that flip side. I've been an AFI fan
for quite some time, but never felt like they had songs that could tie
in well with gaming, but lately I've been reading the Hunter: The Vigil
core rulebook, and this song popped into mind. Pretty gruesome imagery,
if you're familiar with history (or Warhammer 40k).
As a
final note, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to get a video. AFI doesn't do
many official vids, and the live ones had terrible sound quality. At
any rate, I hope you enjoy NoCal's A Fire Inside.
AFI - "Malleus Maleficarum"
Open my eyes as I submerge
and I won't deny what I've been since birth.
I'll die drowned by your standards.
Breathe in the life of the summer's death as the orange
and red breathe their first breath,
so welcome as they're burning through.
We all begin to burn.
Autumn's flame dances in my eyes
Set alight for all we've learned.
My ashes falling.
My skin is singed but it heals my heart
and with glowing pride I'll wear my scars.
I'm honoured by your hatred.
Leaves fall we arise again,
and the end impending,
it will begin.
We all begin to burn.
Autumn's flame dances in my eyes
Set alight for all we've learned.
My ashes falling.
can you feel me?
GO!X5
Ashes fall and I'm rising up again. Ashes fall.
Ashes fall. Ashes fall as we all arise.
*As always, I don't own this, blah blah blah.
