End of Our Lives - A Third Life Song

What if Third Life had an anime-style opening song?

Welp, this one should sound pretty different from most of my other music, not only because it’s a new genre for me to produce but also because this is my first song made using Logic Pro!! Thanks to you guys’ viewership and support, I have been able to get a new computer and software for music production! So, the quality of my music should only improve from here! I hope you all enjoy!!

There's Knight of Endale merch! Check out the store here:

Lyrics:
Laying out the stakes
Do you know what it takes
To make it out of this alive?
Room for two mistakes
Do you know if your friends will stay
Or stab you while you strive
To find a way to beat the odds
That are set against you now
The sands of time you once controlled
Are quickly running out

I know what I want
And I know what it takes to survive
And I know the game that we're playing
Only one makes it out alive
(3, 2, 1, Go!)

Emerald lights above my head
I'll do my best to stay ahead
But the hands of fate
Are just as fickle as the flame
So I've got three whole tries
Before I reach my own demise
Now there's no point in hiding
Together we're fighting
Until the end of our lives

What did you expect?
All the kindness, respect, and chivalry
Are all but gone
Little of you left
'Cause they chipped off the rest
With every life that you have lost
No more time for friends
There's just alliances
And debts you need to pay
Planning for the end
Don't get too close 'cause you'll just
End up being betrayed
(3, 2, 1, Go!)

Amber lights above my head
I'll do my best to stay ahead
But the hands of fate
Are just as fickle as the flame
So I've got two more tries
Before I reach my own demise
Now there's no point in hiding
Together we're fighting
Until the end of our lives

I know what I want
And I know what it takes to survive
And I know the game that we're playing
Only one makes it out alive

So with these
Crimson lights above my head
I'll do what it takes to make sure they're dead
The hands of fate
Are just as fickle as the flame
Now we're all out of time
It's time to face our own demise
Now there's no point in hiding
Together we're fighting
Until the end of our lives

And now a few words: Third Life, Last Life, Double Life, Limited Life, Life Series, Grian, Hermitcraft, anime song, fan song, mcyt, Minecraft

Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
But to Your name give glory
Because of Your loving kindness, because of Your truth.
- Psalms 115:1

Something that really stuck with me is how the lyrics went from “emerald lights above my head” to “amber lights” and then to “crimson lights”. It feels really simple yet really important

[asylvis]

Something interesting to note about the words used for each life's assigned color:

Emerald: A symbol of wealth, trade, and prosperity; thriving and living peacefully.
Amber: A symbol of preservation, trying to remain untouched by time, resisting an inevitable demise.
Crimson: A symbol of bloodshed, warfare, and violence - bringing upon the end.

[Wolfbane]

Dude this song is somehow perfect for a planned encounter I have in my DND campaign

[beeboystoryels]

We were bound to get a Life Series song eventually!

[DragonsoftheDeep]

This song is so good! I bet it would make a great animatic if someone chose to make one for it

[eatingbeesagain]

I could totally see this as a theme song! And the combination of music sounds (supreme music expert here, as you can tell) felt like a retro/anime cartoon style. I can totally see some really cool animatics in tune with it. TLDR: good aesthetic, well done, ears happy:)

[unintendedmango]

Aaaand Knight enters a new genre! Very anime sounding, good job! You are especially good at a particular sound, but it's nice to hear you branching out a bit. I look forward to hear what you come up with next!

[KTHCrafter]

Beautiful work Knight of Endale! I don't believe I have seen many 3rd life songs even though it is such an amazing series! This was definitely a treat I did not expect and sounded absolutely amazing!❤
Great job KOE!

[jacob_the_idiot]

Knight! I never expected you to make a Life Series song! Now this is really gonna force me to continue making my Life Series songs!

Also this song sounds so cool! I loved it

[_shadow_wolf_]

YESS!!! This is the third 3rd life song I have found! I'm so happy that the life series are getting songs! I've been wanting these series to get songs but we only have had animatics which is great! Dont get me wrong i love them, I just wanted to be able to listen to something that had emotions without having to watch it. I sleep listening to music so im happy i can listen to 3rd life songs while I try to fall asleep now.

[aliased_aryl]

Holy moly, this is amazing!! I’m loving this high energy take on a third life theme song! It sounds so upbeat, but the undercurrent of intensity are just *chef’s kiss* 🤌

And of course, the quality is fantastic as always! So, so hyped to see where you go from here :D

Wait… hold up. Did you take inspiration from derivakat’s manhunt and win it all?! That is so freaking cool!

[comictitan]

This is amazing! I love the faster tempo and the way the chorus evolved through the course of the three lives, and I'm so excited to hear more Life Series content if you decide to continue!
A collab with an animator to make an actual Third Life anime opening or AMV for this would be super cool too.

[DiamondAngelMusic]

I forgot this existed for a month and I regret that I didn't remember sooner, THIS IS

[nighthawk]

There is not much I want to say about this song other than I love this song. It´s so good.
Well done on it.

[irenictea]

Gorgeous vocals! Would love to see more songs about other SMPs :0

[EspiritoDeDafne]

I love it, I really wish there were more third life songs, so thank you

[TreylllPlayzReborn]

Hits all the nails on the head, and sounds amazing (As expected from you). Bravo, honestly bravo

[SR_]

You have the voice of an angel!!! Another song well done!! ❤❤❤

[leighreynolds]

Love Third Life, love Knight's songs. This is a perfect mesh of awesomeness!

[CaptainKillroy]

Beautiful. I love this. The song is really good
