The Path by Miracle Of Sound (Folk Rock) (Witcher 3)

A musical farewell to Geralt Of Rivia, the White Wolf

MERCH:

No I won't be covering 'Toss A Coin To Your Witcher' but there are some great versions out there by other people :)

The Path Gavin Dunne 2016

Long roads through the raging days
Walked the world upon my wary way
Bestowed with the blade and phrase
Far too long I’ve been a lonesome stray
These lines upon my brow
They beckon to me now

I’ve followed the path so long
I’ve weathered this tide
Through everything carried on
With strength in my stride
I’ve followed the path so long
I need a place where I belong at last
Oh

At the end of the path
I rest my weary feet
At the end of the path
In quiet comfort we’ll meet

Warm glow with a golden shine
Come to rest under the virile vine
Dark flow from the oldest shrines
Blight and blood under the wealth and wine
With black blood in my veins
My silver sings again

I’ve followed the path so long
I’ve weathered this tide
Through everything carried on
It’s hardened my hide
I’ve followed the path so long
The oldest pain is fading now at last
Oh

At the end of the path
I rest my weary feet
At the end of the path
In quiet comfort we’ll meet

Through trails of blood and wine
Hunting one last time
One last time

These lines upon my brow
They beckon to me now

I’ve followed the path so long
I’ve weathered this tide
Through everything carried on
With strength in my stride
I’ve followed the path so long
I need a place where I belong at last
Oh

At the end of the path
I rest my weary feet
At the end of the path
In quiet comfort we’ll meet

Weary wolf at the end of war
Loves aloof are apart no more
(White skies still shimmer)
Weary wolf at the end of war
(Wild eyes still flicker)
Loves aloof are apart no more

This music sounds like it belongs in the game

Geralt's Path certainly was long:

- Taking down an entire criminal/terrorist organisation single-handedly
- Being accused of regicide
- Being involved in a war of ideologies and race between The Order of the Flaming Rose/Humans and the Scoia'tael/Elves and Dwarves
- Fighting against Eredin and his Red Riders
- Getting tangled in various political plots
- Being friends with Dandelion
- Having multiple love interests, with most of them being Sorceresses that could kill him in an instant




What a life

Out of all the gaming franchises, I would never expect Witcher to be the one with happy ending, but im glad it is. Geralt is too likable to be killed off. Good song Gav :)

Some companies make a DLC and call it a game.

The we get companies that make a Game and call it a DLC. Gods bless the Witcher Series.

Hey Sound Bytes! Delighted with the response to this one. Feels good to be back on form. Please share it with fellow Witcher fans!
Geralt was such an inspiring character for me and the Witcher universe has given me some of my most wonderful, fun, creative times. Huge thanks to CDP for their masterpiece <3

[Yawehplaneswalker]

With Silver and Steel we Wake the White Wolf and follow the Lady of Worlds through Skellige Winds down The Path.

[foxred]

-"Geralt, what did you find at the end of the path ?"
*Geralt sighs*
-"A gwent table and friends, Dandelion... Here, it's your turn."
-"Can't believe you play the Empire of Nilfgaard..."
-"Just shut up and play, dammit !"

[mr.c]

"wake the white wolf at the dawn of war."

to

"weary wolf at the end of war."

Just beautiful...

[ElijahLyall]

This song is the perfect ending to Geralt's epic adventure. It ties up his story with lines like "weary wolf at the end of war" and "loves aloof are apart no more, " harkening back to one of his other brilliant songs, "Wake the White Wolf." It has a sense of completion, addressing the sad fact that this is the Witcher's last adventure. It does this while also being a song of victory, as it twists that first idea and makes the viewer feel happy for Geralt. Finally, the imagery of the "end of the Path" is truly genius and could not have been done any better. Gavin has done it again, big surprise.

[emerytharp]

Q. How do you know Detlaff is an intelligent monster?
A. He ran...

[J-BiRTH]

This song is honestly a little depressing. Not because it's bad, Just because it signifies the end of our journey with Geralt.

[matteobonelli]

3:49 "I believe we earned a bit of a rest"
"That we do..."
That part in the game...destroyed me.
Damn, the feel...

[MemoryDestiny]

Oh, c'mon! that last one smile from geralt broke my heart!

[mridley]

I've started to just "Like" these videos while waiting for the intro to finish.

Miracle Of Sound is just one of those channels that puts out consistently awesome content.

[cinebst]

Awesome song, and a fitting finale to your Witcher work.

That bit at the end, though -- "loves aloof are apart no more" -- man, I suddenly choked up. Wasn't expecting that.

[Lambtomo]

I loved the ending of the game so much. It left me with a kinda sad, kinda hopeful feeling and I just wanted to continue adventuring and interact with the characters more. And isn't that the best you can get out of a story? Such a great series! Thanks CDPR for The Witcher! And thank you, Miracle of Sound, for the great song!

Even though as I said I'm kinda sad it's over (wish I could just forget and experience the Witcher and the amazing expansions all over again) I also can't wait to see what they do with Cyberpunk 2077. If it is even half as good as The Witcher 3, then it will be a amazing new game.

[KamikazeeGecko]

Oh man, that last bit where Geralt smiles. HOLY SHIT! That's like the saddest and the happiest moment at the same time.

[lewrl]

You managed to write a rock song about NOT killing things and settling down. Amazing.

[jakelafauci]

Skelliege Winds - Great
Lady of Worlds - Amazing
Wake the White Wolf (metal and original) - Outstanding
The Path - Unbelievably Spectacular

Gav, I don't know how you do it but every song you make is absolute gold! A great send off for the songs about the white wolf and an amazing song in general. Excellent work!

[zangatsubankai]

I love how this one ties into Wake the White Wolf with the lines about "the end of war" and "loves aloof". This and the recurring "Justice runs in crimson rivers" line that shows up across your AC songs (including in French) makes me really appreciate how much work you must put into your songs.
