lyrics

I have waited so long here
I have made this empty tower my home
I know when something is wrong; the clouds are gathering strong
Tell me: how can I face this all alone?

I have seen this before, here
I have watched the waves, the wind and the rain
Beat upon my door and strip the sand from the shore
Until just the rocks remain

The night is falling soon
And there are no stars above that are bright enough to run these clouds through

A storm is coming
A shadow hangs on the sea
A storm is coming and these shores could wreck anything
A storm is coming
Are these walls as strong as they seem?
And, if someone is coming, will my light be received?

I have waited so long here
To bring in those under sail
I've felt the sirens' song lead me from where I belong
But I feel this night this light must not fail

A storm is coming
A shadow hangs on the sea
A storm is coming and these shores could wreck anything
(This night this light must not fail)
A storm is coming
Are these walls as strong as they seem?
And, if no one is coming, will I live to see the morning?

Will I live to see the morning sun?

Bastion: Original Soundtrack
by Darren Korb

I'm a big fan of videogame soundtracks and this is one of my favorites. It's an excellent blend of traditional instruments and electronic groove with a few gorgeous vocal tracks for good measure. The Lighthouse Keeper

Our Sky, Becoming The Void
by A Flooded Skyline

This album caught my attention because the guy behind it did everything himself the same way I do, but it held it because it's a great instrumental work with a terrific mix of styles and dynamics. The Lighthouse Keeper
