Wasteland 3 - Down In The Valley To Pray (Includes Lyrics)

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!

O fathers, let's go down,
Let's go down, come on down
O fathers, let's go down
Down in the valley to pray
In the valley to pray

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the robe and crown
Good Lord, show me the way!

O Mothers, let's go down
Come on down, don't you wanna go down
Come on, Mothers, let's go down
Down in the valley to pray
In the valley to pray

As I went down in the valley to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!

O brothers, let's go down
Come on down, would you wanna go down
Come on, brothers, let's go down
Down in the valley to pray
Down in the valley to pray
Down in the valley to pray
To pray (fades)

[Kodasa_Sinclair]

"You wanted to take his life kid, so take it."

Was the definining moment for my character I think.

[burnttoast]

I love how a lot of the OST has the feel of "We can't expect god to do all the work".

[einfangirl]

God these kids taught me something...


and that's how fun the flamethrower can be

[ZAK]

This became my game of the year as soon as this came on while i was blasting rich kid traitors. What a moment.

[b.dickey]

I had this song trigger in a very extended battle in the Cult of the Holy Detonation expansion, let me tell you, the song building to a crescendo, surrounded by violent, glowing cultists, and then up steps my heavy weapons expert. Armed with a minigun with the HE under barrel mod and the +20 dmg barrel mod with a maxed-out explosives skill, the sheer power coming out of my Yamaha soundbar when I unloaded with that minigun and this song perfectly timed was one of the greatest experiences I've ever had as a gamer, and I've been video gaming since the very early 80s, literally 40 years.

The awesome thing about this one is that it shows how a cover can completely redefine a song. The Battle of Hymn of the Republic was always badass, they just captured it. Blood of the Lamb was always creepy, they just made it more so. This song is about the farthest thing from an epic war chant you can imagine and yet...

[DadIsInTheHouse]

That kind of betrayal can't be forgiven.
Justice: Its the ranger way.

[spleeneater]

love how this played after me killing a bunch of kids because their leader was an arse. god it felt heavy.

[alecmcchesney]

My mother would play this song in the car since I was 3 years old and hearing it again 21 years later in this game is unreal

[spacecorpse]

as you can see Dr.Mobius has been busy

[jessebrown]

Normally I play a completely good person first time playing an RPG, who doesn't kill unless it's in self defence.

Met these teenager in this game and thought "ahh fuck it"

[ApollyonSeraph]

Me and a friend just reached this point in our co-op. Once we put together what happened, we were both really hoping that wiping them all out was an option.

A few seconds later: "We took care of the Dorsey's, there were no survivors"

[Goaheadandstaymad]

"Lucia.. Please"

*Shoots Isaac in the forehead*

"You killed him!"

[cjkinney]

Whenever I heard this song I imagined a post apocalyptic O' brother where art thou

[bethbearmacethatguy]

I love the contrast of these religious hymns and patriotic anthems playing over battles and human carnage. All these beautiful ideals and concepts and us just killing each other.

[spub]

this song has a "pumped-up kicks" feel when the rich kids barely do any damage to your characters

[michaelbetz]

They always go far above and beyond for gameplay and music. Top shelf.

[LT.CarterBlake]

It's such a shame that many people won't have even experienced this theme, it's easily one of my favourite boss themes of recent times and it's so easily missed.

[crimson]

NOW DATS A PROPA AMMOUNT OF DAKKA DAT IS.

[ryerial]

I think what makes these songs 100 times better is just the use of the situation where the song is played.
