Lyv - My Shadowed Heart [A Baldur's Gate 3/Shadowheart Fan Song]

The one a lot of you have been waiting for. I was intending to do a cosplay-video with this, but it proved to be a little difficult with how cold it's getting here. So I opted to give it to you now, instead. Shadowheart's arc is one of my favourites from the entire game, so she needed something worthwhile. :)

Also! I want to thank Samtar, Linz and Salome for delivering some beautiful backing vocals for this!

Lyrics:
If memories subsided
and the darkness turned to light
What does she see?
A pathway, now divided
What's been taught, now cast aside
What will it be?

All she wanted was a home
A place to go and rest her soul
They told her those who loved her most
Had left her all alone

Maybe in oblivion
She'd find what she'd been running from
Embraced by darkness, cloaked in loss
Where all will be forgotten

The truth you've been twisting unwinds
I'm free of your lies
I'll take back the pieces
You thought I had long left behind

These fragments in time
Do they really define
Who we are
Each step
That I take
Leads me back
To the place
Where it all began to fall apart
My shadowed heart

Her faith begins to slide
She finds her Goddess, now denied
What's left of me?
When all I touch crumbles to dust
If I can't ever be enough,
what am I doing?

Mistress of NIght
Or the Moonmaiden's might
What am I proving?
I wanna know
What path to walk
Before it all
goes up in smoke
and brings me to ruin

Stand in defiance
Or let there be Silence
Consuming
To take an oath
in Holy blood
Or be Disowned
and lost for good
And spell my undoing

The truth you've been twisting unwinds
I'm free of your lies
I'll take back the pieces
You thought I had long left behind

These fragments in time
Do they really define
Who we are
Each step
That I take
Leads me back
To the place
Where it all began to fall apart
My shadowed heart

Maybe I am truly lost
And maybe I'd be better off
if I let go again, forgot
And heed my Goddess' calling

When the final curtain falls
And smoke and mirrors come undone
When all that's left, is emptiness
A disgrace of a daughter

The truth you've been twisting unwinds
I'm free of your lies
I'll take back the pieces
You thought I had long left behind

These fragments in time
Do they really define
Who we are
Each step
That I take
Leads me back
To the place
Where it all began to fall apart
My shadowed heart

Finally everyone's favorite Princess Shadowcute's theme.

[edeni]

I love it, this sadness and defiance at the same time, it reflects Shadowheart's story very well

[mewtwohavoka]

Gorgeous! I recently finished BG3 for the first time and immediately went looking for fan music. Was not disappointed at all - this is an excellent tribute to what ended up being my favorite character :)

[Norwyn]

I cast Speak to Plants. The night orchids told me they love this song as well.

[aethsildrys]

OMG. I found your channel a while ago ("The Moonmaiden's Daughter" was the first song I heard). And I am absolutely stunned. The Moonmaiden's Daughter, Sicarius, and now this piece of art are definitely my favorites!
Great job! You are awesome. Your songs are awesome.
Just. Thank you for doing this.

[Aphantora]

yessss I've been waiting for this

[Grimfel]

[LiddleVampire]

I have excitedly been waiting for you to drop god’s favorite princess’s song and oh my gods I love it. Excellent work as always 😍

[projectreverie]

I found you because someone on reddit recommended it, and honestly that's the best thing reddit has ever done for me. Cheers, I love your work!! You have such an ear for poetry.

[jlilovic]

You are doing true justice to these characters stories in song… thankyou

[iljagromov]

[unfortunatefish]

This is so good! You've really done justice for this game and these characters. I really hope you continue making BG3 songs now that you've made them for all the core companions, I just adore your music!

[gaysimp]

And suddenly I want to do a Shadowheart origin run

[rubyred]

[kiptheott]

Well, time to listen to this on repeat for the next week.

[archaeoraptor]

Awesome!! I have been waiting for your Shadowheart song. I discovered your songs on Spotify, and now my BG3 playlist has doubled in size. :D
Love your music!

[WistfulRose]

Beautiful as alway Lyv! Your work is amazing!

[agustinrodriguez]

El escuchar esto me hace recordar el viaje que tuve junto a shadowheart, realmente una cancion excelente que refleja el conflicto interno entre lo que queda de Jennevelle, la luz de luna tierna y pequeña que aun perdura dentro del inquisidor oscuro que intentaron forjar a base de dolor y olvido, esa mujer que me esforce por entender y que aunque su mente dijece lo contrario, su cuerpo nunca paro de pedir ayuda, de luchar contra el dolor para salir de la oscuridad.

[Rainstormlover]

Love your music... do you think you could possibly make one for Raphael or harleep in the future?
