2017. A year with awesome new games to discover - just like NieR;Automata. While the first game was not very well known, many people were drawn into the world of NieR thanks to the sequel. And let¬‘s be honest: I am one of those people. Even though I knew about the existence of the original for many years now (I even sang an acapella of „Song of the Ancients“ with a friend and uploaded it on Soundcloud!) I never played it or even watched someone else doing it. My interest grew at the moment everyone went crazy about the demo of Automata - I saw a short gameplay myself and was amazed by the graphics. But it wasn’t until the release of the game that I decided to probably buy it myself. To prepare myself for this new world, I started to watch gameplay of the prequel, played Automata simultaneously after the first half and finished the let’s play around two weeks ago. I am so glad I discovered this little gem even if I regret I didn’t really play attention to it earlier.
So here am I, singing „ashes of dreams“ - a song, which deserves way more recognition than it gets - just like almost every other song from the ost. I hope, I was able to express my emotions in this cover and you all enjoy listening to it!

EDIT!: I tried to render/upload this video for 6 hours but it seems like the file was somehow cursed - this is the first time it actually looks and sounds normal. There are some minor issues with the video but I hope it doesn't annoy you too much because I really don't want to render it again... :/ If you feel the need to, please check out the wav-download to listen to it in the best quality possible.

Lyrics:

Once there were trees full of birds,
Meadowlands vibrant with flowers;
Carefree the songs our children once sang
Gilding our minutes and hours.
Clouds came and covered the sun,
The breath of the baleful unease
Turning to ashes flowers in their fields,
Silenced the birds in their trees.

Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells -
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

Strive till the phantoms are broken,
Fight till the battle is done;
The squadrons of night can't conquer the day,
Nor shadows extinguish the sun.

Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Specters of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back;
And we'll be haunted again, haunted again.

For tho the storms are over and past,
Tho the thunder's rage is quieted at last
Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn,
Here to mourn.
The night has left us crippled with grief
As we strive to keep alive our belief,
But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn.

Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Imprisoned in twisting spells -
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Specters of plague and pain.
All of these ghosts of our own delusions are back;
Have we been fighting in vain? Fighting in vain?
