BIOSHOCK SONG - Dream Of Goodbye by Miracle Of Sound

A musical tribute to Elizabeth & Bioshock by Miracle Of Sound

Female vocal by Lorna Dollery

LYRICS:

Dream Of Goodbye Gavin Dunne 2014

I begin at the end
Time will buckle and bend
Child of the profane
Tied to the great chain

Forlorn faces running from the cold regret
Empty spaces something that I can't forget
All I wanted was to wish the past away
But time's the cruelest ruler that we all obey

Chasing shadows, breaking bones and twisting nature's limbs
Elemental, wreck the gentle feed each violent whim

There is beauty in the madness
I just can't see it yet

The purest artist strives for
Profuse extremes!
The elegance of mortal frailty
I dream!

Slaves wait for master to dictate
Blood and fire in the deep sea
No empire is gonna keep me
Odes to transience I create
Blood and fire in the blue sky
Leaders broken waiting to die

Forlorn faces running from the cold regret
Empty spaces something that I can't forget
All I wanted was to wish the past away
But time's the cruelest ruler that we all obey

I begin at the end
Time will buckle and bend

And I dream of goodbye
Sinking sea, falling sky
And I dream of goodbye
No more tears
Well's run dry

I had forgotten how good this and Dream of the Sky were. It's been so long, but these songs are some of the ones that really hold up.

[DestinyCrafter]

Love the female singer's voice... Of course Gav's as good as always :)

[ryanholt]

I'll miss the bioshock series. Never before have I played games that make me think so much about the endings and then rethink everything I thought during the stories. Each one is a changing thing. With each game i began to question more and more I saw in them yet they always stayed 1 step ahead of me. They're just so good. Words fail to do them justice.

"Time's the cruelest ruler that we all obey."
Unless your name is Rosalind or Robert Lutece

[spartanredteam]

Lorna Dollery's voice is beautiful. Please make more videos with her, you make a good duet.

[Makkovar]

The perfect finish for the Bioshock songs, all intertwined, all made clear here, much like the games themselves. I don't know even Gavin sees just how beatifully this all comes together in the end. I am absolutely amazed. No more words, just sound.

[thefez-cat]

Burial At Sea gave such a sad, character-warping ending to the series. I can't even bring myself to be excited for another BioShock.

[Wraithstrike]

Warning: Do not play "Dream of the Sky" and "Dream of Goodbye" back to back unless you can withstand heartwrenching pain.

[LEGOBoy]

this song is even better then the first bioshock song, AND BLOWS IT OUT OF THE WATER!

[fluffsnake]

Why am imagining Elizabeth and Booker dancing and singing this and then hugging each other at the end? Dear lord, the feels~

[cvrc]

Wow. Just wow. This is so beautiful and haunting. I love that you kept the theme of "and I dream of the" throughout all three Bioshock songs. It's especially amazing since you wrote Little Sister with no idea Dream of the Sky or Dream of Goodbye would ever exist (although I bet now you wish you'd named it Dream of the Sea). This is such a fitting send-off to both the series and to Elizabeth, who is one of the best characters the video game industry has ever produced. 
Thank you for another masterpiece, Gav. Now I just hope you'll eventually somehow combine these three songs and make an ultimate Bioshock tribute.

[TheQuilanvos]

Step 1: Listen to song... Step 2: Get to end of song. Step 3: Curl up from feels. Step 4: Try not to cry. Step 5: Cry a lot.

[Cinderbloom]

I love how the two songs reflect Elizabeth so well... The first is a tad wild, but overall mild and emotional. Dream of Goodbye is more... Refined. Brutal. Sophisticated.

[Aderianu]

I STILL get chills listening to this, after all those years.

[TheSolarzEclipse]

No Matter how many times I listen to this, I can't stop my heart from hurting. Amazing song, but so painful. Not sure whether to curse you, or praise you.

[lewistoroian]

That ending gets me every time. After the song finishes, I always have two tears rolling down my face. So beautiful :')

[Dornaden]

I love that throughout these bioshock songs, the end chorus has been added in with its own twist: Dream of the Sky, Sea and Goodbye all really awesome in their own way

[OfirBeck]

before I uncovered the story, I thought the dream in Paris was the ending

Imagine my horror when I saw the Elizabeth Gameplay only beings in dream-like france... which means it's all downhill from here ):

[lunavixen]

One thing I love about the bioshock songs you've done is that throwback section that's in each one that ties them all together tangentally the way the games were tangentally related. It's not something you see a lot of anymore but the way you've done it is still unique in each song. I like it :D

[chcoman]

DAMMIT MIRACLE OF SOUND! STOP MAKNG GOOD SONGS THAT MAKE ME WANT TO BUY STUFF! My wallet can't take much more of this...
