Shawn James — The Guardian (Ellie’s Song)

Все уже несколько дней обсуждают самую неоднозначную игру десятилетия, между тем автор оригинальной песни к первому трейлеру игры The Last Of Us 2 под названием "Through The Valley" выпустил клип на песню "The Guardian", она же "Песня Элли", слова которой можно найти непосредственно в игре у неё в дневнике.

Lyrics:

When does it get quiet? Time was supposed to extinguish the desire... But the embers won't snuff out Haunted by your smiles The mask keeps getting heavier One step forward, two steps back There's a noose round my neck and the further I get It's harder & harder to breathe Can I find a way to cut the rope? I've been waiting for dawn But the light is all gone. Don't know if I'm already blind... Can I leave it all behind? What's it really for if it's not yours and it's not mine? This victory is not what I hoped for... How was I to know that everything would end up like this? Survival of the fittest... of sorts So I've become the bringer of death A lover of life The one who guards from the dark of the night I'll be the hammer of war Justice & mercy don't live side by side So in retribution I abide I'll tip the scales to justice's end but can it make amends? Kill or be killed... what a way to live & die I just can't see this cycle ever ending How can I correct the damage done when I can't feel the consequences of my recourse So I've become the bringer of death A lover of life The one who guards from the dark of the night I'll be the hammer of war I've been waiting for dawn But the light is all gone. Don't know if I'm already blind... Can I leave it all behind?
