Dishonored - Honor for all [Music Video]

Details

Description

I made this some time ago but it never really felt like it's finished.
I decided to upload it now because I have other stuff I'd like to focus on and would probably never get to finish it anyways.

This is one of my first attempts on creating a music video, so it's admittedly very basic. There is a LOT of stuff that I would totally do different in future. However I think I learned a lot while making this.

I tried to pack most of the story of Dishonored into these five and a half minutes, but I'm not so sure if that was a good idea after all. I had to focus on the very basics of the story and I feel like everything is a bit rushed.
Maybe it could serve you as a quick reminder of the previous happenings when you are playing Dishonored 2 in November :)

The song was made by Jon Licht and Daniel Licht. It's playing during the ending credits of Dishonored.

Daniel Licht is probably most known for composing the soundtrack for Dexter (great show!), Silent Hill and of course Dishonored. I think he's also on board for Dishonored 2, which is great! I'm very much looking forward to listen to those!
I can recommend checking his website: www.danlicht.com

Jon Licht has frequently contributed music for tv, movies and games too, but also writes his own music and is part of the folk/rock band "The Roustabouts".

❥ Lyrics:

Oh well, honor for all
Of the big and the small
Well, the taller they stand
Well, the harder they fall

We live for today but we die for the next
With blood in our veins and the air in our chest
Oh, we step into war with our hearts on the line
Dirt on our boots, it shakes free over time

The music, it fades, the violence slows
The darkness, it rises, as the sun goes

Love is a distant aroma at best,
A withering smile that's stuck deep in your vest.
The night air it wraps its fingers around,
Your body, it shakes from the now distant sound,
Oh, the sound of her voice - a sweet symphony,
Played over and over until you are free.

The music, it fades, the violence slows
The darkness arises, as the sun goes

Can you feel the new day rising,
Climbing up the east horizon?

They controlled us
Now we'll fight through
Each and every one
will start new

Well, we shall not stumble
No, we shall not fall
We shall not crumble
No, we shall stand tall

Oh well, death, it will come
As sure as a night
We will not run
No, we live but to fight

With blood on our hands
And dirt on our knees
We tear at the ones,
Who brought the disease

The music, it fades, the violence slows
The darkness, it rises, as the sun goes

Can you feel the new day rising,
Climbing up the east horizon?

They controlled us
Now we'll fight through
Each and every one
Will start new

Can you feel the new day rising,
Climbing up the east horizon?

They controlled us
Now we'll fight through
Each and every one
Will start new
