Who Shall Vigil Stand | Crusader Kings III: Legends of the Dead

▶ Spotify: (This song won’t be up for a little while, but you can listen to my other work here) ▶ Consider supporting the channel on Patreon: I am thrilled to present this collaboration with Paradox, the creators of Crusader Kings III, a grand strategy role-playing game set in the Middle Ages. It’s such an honour to have been charged with writing a completely original song for their newest work: Legends of the Dead. This new core expansion deals with themes of death, fame, and glory, with a focus on how lineage and legend are inextricably tied to one another. It also introduces a new, insidious enemy—the plague itself. Watch the release trailer for Legends of the Dead here (I’m singing at the end!): I was inspired by chivalric ideals, Arthurian legend, and images of the Lady of Shalott adrift in her boat. The beautiful illustration featured in this video is by N.C. Wyeth. Lyrics: Who shall mourn thee Wash and shroud thee Climb the belfry Who shall vigil stand? Who shall praise thee Fear and hate thee Save thy story From the shifting sand? Who shall carve thee Mould and cast thee Set thy form free By their own right hand? Kyrie Eleison Kyrie Eleison Kyrie Eleison Kyrie Eleison
