Assassin's Creed Origins - Cinematic Trailer Music | You Want It Darker (Leonard Cohen)

- Song: Leonard Cohen - You Want It Darker

Here is the music that was used in the CGI trailer of Assassin's Creed Origins, revealed during Gamescom 2017. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame

They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want…

AC always knows the perfect songs for their trailers.

[Minh]

Let's be honest Ubisoft really know how to choose song for their trailers

R.I.P Leonard Cohen. Did anyone else get an Ancient Egyptian vibe from the background music? Obviously a Origins is in Egypt but I can't help but be impressed how every AC trailer has both amazing animation and great song choice. Plus this is the only trailer where the Assassin, Bayek, look identical to the in game character model.

[pranavu]

I am here to hear the "oooh" sound that comes after every ending of the line. It chills up my spine.!!

[brucewayne]

Feels very different than the previous games, even the music is different but it still looks awesome and interesting.

[Archeum]

The author of this magnificent song died last year. Rest in peace mr Cohen. May your poems live long through the centuries

[sitamun]

It's mysterious, enticing and deliciously dark... I love it!!!

[superjasim]

Love the music, love the game, love the idea, love the setting, love Assassins Creed, Love Ubisoft, Be calm and love video-games. "I'm ready my lord"

[locknload]

Lyrics my friends, for those who want to sing it loud !!

"If you are the dealer, I'm out of the game
If you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame
You want it darker
We kill the flame

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the help that never came
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

There's a lover in the story
But the story's still the same
There's a lullaby for suffering
And a paradox to blame
But it's written in the scriptures
And it's not some idle claim
You want it darker
We kill the flame

They're lining up the prisoners
And the guards are taking aim
I struggled with some demons
They were middle class and tame
I didn't know I had permission to murder and to maim
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name
Vilified, crucified, in the human frame
A million candles burning for the love that never came
You want it darker
We kill the flame

If you are the dealer, let me out of the game
If you are the healer, I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory, mine must be the shame
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my lord

Hineni
Hineni, hineni
Hineni"

3:35 to 3:45 still gives me chills to this day. Have yet to play this game but I plan to soon. I've watched the trailer like 1000 times.

[jrw]

I wasn't a fan of the music in the trailer at first but now I think it's really badass

[ppaylifestyle]

Man it's the only voice that is able to rock this beat and he did
When i hear him i got goose pimples
Lot of respekt

[redmoonknight]

so fitting and the beat is so amazing ... loving it <333

[radishmiri]

I'm the only one that loves this song?

[cyberpunkgirl]

the amount of symbolism inside the lyrics is absolutely *insane*

[Leooel]

New Assassin's Creed, new set of dope music from the trailers.

[thecynic]

Damn Great music. And " I'm ready my lord" was so

[GenXchaos]

Man this gives me the shivers. So good.

[Jackscin]

We better be able to use a bow and arrow with our feet in the game.

[heartlessface]
