Aviators - A Castle On The Sea Lyrics






Modern times have never looked bleaker
And I've seen the darkest ages of life
Your death has come around to haunt you
And your madness has supplied the strife
Now I've broken all the rules I've written
Just to bring you to this cold fort between
Your ailing home and afterlife's wither
A bastion only seen in your dreams

Through the black
I've seen you before
Knocking on a forbidden door
If you seek this madness in truth
Take my soul bestowed unto you

If you've got a way of survival
Possess the power to save your home
My failure as a God is total
As I watch over a land of bones
Now I've broken all the rules I've written
Just to bring you to this cold fort between
Your ailing home and afterlife's wither
A bastion only seen in your dreams

Through the black
I've seen you before
Knocking on a forbidden door
If you seek this madness in truth
Take my soul bestowed unto you

Take a minute to think
You've been brought to the brink
Of existence to save the population
Floods and nuclear fire
Kept the times looking dire
Now's the chance to redeem civilization
Yet a risk is attached
With this unholy pact
If forsaken I'll come from the shadows
Let your madness be quelled
Live a legend to tell
Make the best of the end, and what follows

With no other choices
And quieting voices
I'd never expected
To be disconnected
To sacrifice all
To hold off the fall
For a world I don't trust
We do what we must

So I'll lend you my essence
For your rusted throne
And you could bring back the light
To the last home
Of civilization
Without which I'm gone
So take this godsoul to bring forth a new dawn
I'll forgive the death you've earned
The cities you've burned
The lessons we've learned
For all that remains, just sacrifice me
I'll hide away in a castle on the sea

Aviators A Castle On The Sea Comments
  1. S.... C....

    Never realized how few comments there were on this. A Castle on the Sea was the first non-Soulsborne based song of yours I heard (I first encountered your Soulsborne stuff sometime shortly after the release of Let there be Fire, so it took quite a while.), and what made me release I really liked your work as a musician and not just a few songs that were incidentally made by you. It’s still one of my favorite songs to this day.

    S.... C....

    Well this wasn't posted by him, it was auto generated. The auto generated ones are harder to find, (YouTube rarely recommends them) and have way fewer views comments and dislikes.

  2. P.... ....

    This song really gets me, like twisting a knife right in the bittersweet feels. The Watcher's making a deal with the narrator of Godhunter, right? That hurts, seeing the Watcher brought low enough that he has to gamble on *this* guy reforming himself to save humanity.

    P.... ....

    @Pig_catapult


    Pig_catapult The Watcher (i.e. Death) is making a deal with the last leader of man (i.e. the God from godhunter).

    However this song I think is a prequel from the line “If forsaken I’ll come from the shadows” which in my mind refers to the song ‘Godhunter’.

    And that the Song ‘Red Water Dreams’ is the Daughter Of the Reaper coming to collect on her father’s (I.e. The Watcher’s) Deal since the God in godhunter has failed his end of the bargain as seen in “Too late for a Savior” the line where the ‘God’ is speaking to similarly ascended beings refers to the other people on the ‘godhunters’ list thus meaning he being the ‘god’ in godhunter is the last one to be claimed in connection to the Deal made with the watcher.


    But the Watcher didn’t make the deal to save humanity out of the goodness of his heart since her clearly says in this song “of civilization, without which I’m gonna” referring to humanity being the only reason he exists.


    I think the watchers line
    “I’ll forgive the death you’ve earned, The city’s you’ve burned” Refers to the actions that the Godhunter is singing about in red water dreams


    But that’s all just how I’m choosing to interpret the songs though this is the Fourth album in the ‘Godhunter’ series

    P.... ....

    @Annatar Lord of Gifts Yeah, when I made that comment, I was confused at by that line and the fact it's so close to the end of the album, but I've since put together that it must be a prequel because Too Late For a Savior only makes sense if it comes *after* this one. I think "the death you earned, the cities you burned", in this context, would mean that the guy being offered power here was a mundane tyrant who'd committed war crimes already, possibly executed during a coup or rebellion. Too Late For a Savior is him falling back into his old ways, but he's got the power of a god now. But I think turning Miami into the Bleeding Sun still happened *after* the ascension.

    P.... ....

    @Pig_catapult

    He died in a nuclear war hence the line
    “Nuclear Fire”

    P.... ....

    @Annatar Lord of Gifts Ahh, that makes sense

  3. J.... D....

    23 comments? What the actual anal fuck?

  4. J.... D....

  7. R.... K....

    I fucking love this song! All the different styles of the instrumental, the lyrics, the story, its all so amazing! I can’t wait for this to me on the main channel and to get the snippet of context thats in the description. Thanks Avi!

  8. T.... ....

    How to these auto-generated videos work?

    T.... ....

    Dennis with the artists permission YouTube has a bot that will automatically upload the songs under their name BUT it isn't the original release on his channel

  9. S.... S....

    S.... S....
