This is a villain song done right. Miquella spelling out his manifesto, exulting in his ascension, calling his enthralled servants to his side, and dictating the terms of his new order: "You can choose to kneel, or be made to, the end result is the same." But then at the end, you hear the opening bars of "Shed No Grace On Me" heralding the arrival of the one who refuses to be embraced.

Anyways, there's something else about this one, that i can't quite explain. It's not loud and glorious, neither it's a sorrow-filled lament. It's just... Beautiful, in it's own twisted way.

"I shall reap a gentler world" goes crazy hard for Miquella

Honestly, you can usually tell how high you should set expectations from listening to the intro and about half of the first verse. This song? Certified banger

The Radahn Grab actually making you take a knee makes this songs name even more fitting

Reminds me of Prepare to Die with how the singing style changes every few seconds. But dang, this is the most original song of yours in a while

1:53 It's so haunting to hear that line with footage of Messmer burning everything.

Honestly, never played elden ring. But the memes, the music, and the thought of finally meeting a worthy opponent? *It motivates me.*

The very last thing thing I expected from this DLC was for my Lord of Frenzy on his 'enthusiastic walk' in the realm of shadow, to be the good guy.

Even though this song doesn’t have “CURSE YOU, BAYYLEEEEEEE !” This is absolutely beautiful, Ominous, Twisted, and Enchanting.

I like the way this song portrays Miquella. Someone with a soothing voice and kind words who nonetheless accepts nothing less than total submission. Plus he talks about things that would horrify others so casually like giving up his kindness and melding others souls to his vision. I think when he says he's no longer a saint he only means he's no longer St Trina because he doesn't realise how horrific some of his deeds are. Also love the inclusion of some lines about Malenia. He left even her to pursue his goals but he seems to miss her still in this song. Also loved the final bit of music because Shed No Grace On Me was all about the Tarnished defying the Golden Order and the demigods apparently seeking to purge the influence of everyone of them which we do in the Age of the Stars ending. Once the Tarnished finds out that at the end of the day Miquella is not so different from his mother they realise that he also needs to be defied and brought down.

The line “I shall reap a gentler world” goes so hard. A fantastic juxtaposition.

I really like the tone of this song. It reflects well Miquella's character, his kindness and empathy, and the madness and ruthlessness that lie behind them.

3:17 Justice for St. Trina. She didn’t deserve to be literally thrown off a cliff into an underground sea with a graveyard where she suffered blood-loss from being ripped off from Miquella.

1:06 damn he killed that note

Miquella in Elden Ring: *Best Boi* Miquella in DLC: *a Griffith wannabe who wants Radahn to be his Guts*

the background for the line "I shall reap a gentler world" looks so poetic man

bro this is so good. i love it SO much how it is lore accurate, including not making the common mistakes. at 1:26 i know miquella is talking about messmers situation as people *think* that messmer is doing this selfishly but it is actually marika (his mother) telling him to do this as revenge bc of the stuff she saw (mayby was done to her too) as a shaman.

this is a lot calmer than the other elden raps

“O kindred of mine thy wings are wilted” god that delivery slaps

"To revile what has horns,you deny something more,cause a blight can be brandished like any sword" 2:34 Hella smooth,i'm surprised nobodies commented on this part yet-

nothing more satisfying than a lore accurate song Miquella's true face being shown for all to see

The fact that in "Shed no grace on me," the tarnished said "a question rooted in runes in which that we can't read," and now Miquella is saying "when this omen fell I seized it, so that no one else could read it" circles back super-fragilistic-expialidociously.

i love how dark this song is tonally, it's perfect for how this DLC feels

"Bend thy knee. Embrace my curse." Me with Miquella's greatrune: nah, I'm good.

i've never even played a souls like but i got chills running down my spine from this song. the songs got a kind of low paced tone to it but its not sorrow or sadness but the silent words of someone that makes your deepest fears come to realty just haunt you. thats the vibe i get from this song

Lyrics: Timeless sleep, where I lie dreaming Shadows steeped in nightmares stir Tarnished weep, with hearts ungleaming Bend thy knee, or my wrath incur Blighted sheep, the light deceives thee Darkness, become thy shepherd I keep my brother, thrall beneath me Call upon an age to break my curse O kindred Of mine, thy wings are wilted Like falling leaves From rotting trees How long we've been afflicted 'Twas my blood I drew to water the roots Of a sapling, that has yet to grow Misshapen and putrid, forsaken this crucible I will remake as my own Of kindness I myself divest That I may shrive this heart of flesh Once gilded with grace But no will that was great did I find Now my gold has a holier shine I'm all out of touch Cut off from the fingers - I won't need 'em much No forcing my hand, cuz I will not budge So I'm forging a plan, the iron is struck In the fires of my mother's vengeance, the void May tangle with light but my might's unalloyed What's in your mind is mine to create For I can design a will that is great My needle entwining tethers of fate Yet severs the gods outside of my grace If you have not felt it Then I shall compel you to see Rise from your Lifeless sleep, with eyes agleaming I shall reap a gentler world Tarnished, leap with faith unyielding Bend thy knee, embrace my curse O sister I've sworn to save our kind I'm splintered (Now twinless) I miss her (So distant) No more a saint am I What's broken, I'll fix with The hope you've been gifted So you'll hold true to my vision Even if this halo's your prison To revile what has horns You deny something more Cuz a blight can be brandished Like any sword When this omen fell - I seized it So that no one else could read it I seethe with love, my weapon - fearsome Keep it sharp, and wield it well Equal are we all to become One for all, thy souls shall meld I severed the line that led to the grave Now look in the light, how blinding your faith We're leaving behind regression - a state That will deny, ascension awaits I pour, from my blood, coursing Torrents of love unto thee Rise from your Lifeless sleep, with eyes gleaming I shall reap a gentler world Tarnished leap with faith unyielding Bend thy knee, embrace my curse (Insert snazzy "Shed No Grace on Me" lick)

The O Kindred and O Sister parts are incredible

Considering Undead Lullaby is my favorite song from y’all, I gotta say, this is scratching the same itch. Makes sense, since they’re both about Souls games, but… Man, I feel like a kid again. Thanks y’all 🫶

When Messmer goes for a walk, he asked the people of the Land of Shadow how's their health plan. Apparently it was great.

"Of kindness I myself divest" is such a rich lyric and so well-sung, it just makes me shiver each time. This is truly a fantastic topper to a game that's inspired so much amazing music, well done all who worked on this.

3:49 nice callback to the first rap for Elden ring

Mohglester turned out to be the Mohglested all this time by Miquella.

Dawg not going to lie, you carried my early childhood and I am happy you still make music

CURSE YOU FOR MAKING THIS PIECE OF ART! I HEREBY VOW, I SHALL REPLAY IT INFINITELY!

I love how, while still being a classic jt song, skull plays with his voice, going higher than he's ever done, really great job!

0:16 Messmer’s spear attack matching the beat is just perfect

the parallel of "as you revel in your decadent excess, to thy will i bend no knee" and "bend thy knee or my wrath incur" AAAAAAAAA I LOVE IT

2:04 my goodness such a chilling line. I love it.

Reminds me a lot of Undead Lullaby... that was over 6 years ago... damn we are old.

That first minute and a half was amazingly done, I wish Skull would sing like that more he has a great voice.

the first 3min and 57sec of this song is actually insanely good

I love that this is from Miquella's PoV, with the instrumental so calm and yet creepy. Like he's not fully there mentally

2:16 I've listened to this song about 50-ish times and this part runs chills down my spin evry single time

Elden rings world is truly terrifying. so much emotion and pain are in all the characters. the creator truly built a horrific world.

Any child that heeds this tale are destined to do great deeds. Ah, but, great good, or great evil? Only time will tell. _And even then, it's like lines in the sand, never absolute, always subject to change..._ Anyways, tl:dr: Never had a lullaby been this fire.

I love the way miquella says: 'i shall reap a gentler world.' It sounds so intimidating.

It reminds me of Undead Lullaby mixed with Shed No Grace On Me It's so gentle but to sure of itself. I imagine some like- ballerina dancing due to the music box-like undertones but then it slowly emerges as a grotesque and distorted figure. This is absolutely hitting the playlist as soon as it releases on Spotify. Fucking banger.

i just like how the elden ring fanbase seems to have forgiven Mogh after this DLC Mogh the Moghlester is no more. allegations beaten

In all the cimes of Miquella, controlling Mogh, binding Radahn, abandoning Malenia and Trina, I am reminded of a line from a long while ago. "No matter how pretty, how exquisite, a lie will remain A LIE." The 'Kind' promises a world free of hate, lead by compassion yet has abandoned everything to do with it. His sister left to rot, of his brothers two were controlled and the attempt to save the other was abandoned, his other half left at the bottom of the fissure with only putrefied remains for comfort. My lord of Frenzy needed very little convincing. "I abandon here my Love" was when the Kind became a target.

I don't know anything about the lore but it feels like the song does a great job at explaining it. I get it: this guy thinks himself a benevolent dictator who is tasked with saving what remains of his people. Whoever came up with the guitar parts, it's one of my favourite/most satisfying parts of the music.

I love how miquella sounds like the (hero) in this song up until he discards st trina his "love"(no more a saint am i) and right before that he sounds apologetic and after that straight up evil

This is arguably JT Music's best Soulsborne song since 'Undead Lullaby.' Beautiful work and vocals.

i always knew something was up with that little twerp when i heard his soldiers are literally blowing themselves up on the off chance he sees it.

Bend Thy Thee or suffer the wrath of the Erdtree’s Shadow.

I love the fact that when the DLC came out everything seemed more stronger and darker. This song does represent the mystery of Messmer and also how twisted he can be while showing he is royalty. Amazing work JT Music =D

Damn, this is fire as hell! Love the villain Miquella in SotE, and you guys have captured that (and the fact that he doesn't see himself as a villain) perfectly.

Godrick commanded US to kneel. Miquella never asked, but expected all to yield control to him.

this song is really, really good. like genuinely impressively good. i hope this song ends up doing better in the algorithm than at time of this comment, since i think frankly this is one of the best songs youve made.

"pour torrents of love onto thee" i-uhm, no thanks?

Why do you guys always have to release such bangers that I become obsessed with? 😭

This is chilling. How simple it is. I know you guys are known for making unique music that never sounds like the last, but this is so cold but warm. I really can’t think of what to say about it, it’s just more scary than any of your other music. That’s a crazy thing to do with this dlc because there are songs devoted to horror games, bangers btw, but this is the most unnerving

I have probably listened to this more than 100 times by now, and its only been 8 days!! Sooooo good. The tone, and the silent whisper of lyrics into full blown Ol English rhymes

This one here is a certified banged. Lore meets lyric and score beautifully

2:51 "I'm full of love, my gun's pretty cool tho"

Elden Ring has the most visually stunning cut scenes in any game I have seen

“My Lord, you’d leave us broken. So shed no Grace on me”

Oh wow, this has got to be one of your best yet lads. The slow build up, the vocal flow, the subtle shift from innocent to sinister in the lyrics… You’ve perfectly captured the way Miquella’s story was revealed to us from base game to DLC. Instant favourite.

i like the last few notes referencing the song he made about LMSH, it fits so well since malenia and miquella are siblings.

I love how the song reflects Miquella's character so well: hauntingly beautiful, alluringly twisted.

i’ve listened to this at least 20 times get it out of my head get it out of my head get it out of my head get it out of my head get it out of my head

Miquella: "Bend thy knee, EMBRACE MY CURSE-" *the opening bars of "Shed No Grace On Me" start playing* Tarnished: "...no."

Bloody Hell, JT Music really has come a long way. The fact that it sounds like they are singing the rap instead of rapping it like the modern raps you hear nowadays is amazing. Their voices have gotten better as well as they sound more powerful. Keep up the good work boys!

This is such a great song, I have been itching for another Elden Ring song for so long. I'm glad Miquella had charmed you into making another song!

If there is one good thing I'm thankful for this DLC, it's the coming of this song. I cannot express how perfect it is. I'm not expert, so please don't mind my description, but the way it feels to me it's like a nursery rhyme, akin to Miquella's infant curse, but the melody it's unsettling, almost creepy. "Pure and radiant, he wields love to shrive clean the hearts of men. There is nothing more terrifying." This song is the embodiment of this sentence. Miquella is indeed kind, but a monster all the same. This song matches the greatness of his character. Thank you, JT Music. Thank you very much for this song. It's even more amazing when you have given us "Shed No Grace on Me", which perfectly fits as a response from our Tarnished. Ah, man, I love this.

I’ve been listening for 14 years now ( since the very beginning of the channel ) now I am 18 and damn you guys are still awesome imo and changed so much hope you guys keep up the amazing work and content And even though you changed it I still call you JT Machinima lol and still jamming to your older songs

I cannot play souls likes... yet I love when JT Music writes a song so good I want to play the game. This and once upon a lie hit me hard. Great job.

I see a lot of people are at a loss of words to describe this song, but It think what they mean to say is that it is truly majestic

This song reminded me of something…random thought do you think Miquella could partially be inspired by the biblical devil? Lucifer is referenced as the most beautiful angel before he fell, and took so many with him. Miquella uses love as a weapon to make others into thralls to serve him, and his idea of a gentler world (from what little hints we are given, he plans to steal away free will.). The idea that Miquella is partially inspired by Lucifer is very interesting to me, and the way he discards St.Trina is similar to how Lucifer falls, other similarities include how both are popular, seen as beautiful, kind and charming, Lucifer using this to lead others to his side, same as Miquella, and then Lucifer falls, and Miquella tears himself apart (St.Trina) and both see themselves as a better god than the current one (as Miquella references you as the would be lord of the old order, rejecting the idea of Marika remaining as a god, by calling her order old, implying a new order to take its place, his order.)

Absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one, 11/10 fantastic song

This is the perfect amount of cryptic that it matches sooo well

Love the hint of shed no grace on me at the end , almost as if the tarnished is rolling up like that's cute but make way for god

This song could easily pass for Miquella and Messmer. Both have very similar themes and are basically two sides of the same coin. its poetic as hell

Love this song so much, perfectly encapsulates what I think Miquella feels. When I played the DLC I had already become Elden Lord so it felt like a cool rp of making sure no one usurped my rule. Unlike Godfrey however, I had no army to war with me :(

Did jt music really dive into game`s lore for this song?

The best Elden Ring of the 3 you made JT. The refrain so epic, i want it to be on an unending loop

i got chills for the whole song. perfect.

I wish I could listen to this song for the first time again. It's very rare that such a good lyricist combines his work with the music so perfectly that it gives me INSTANT chills. Wow. This is so original and beyond impressive. I've always seen your work as my favorite, but this one is above and beyond. It's also hard to make constant style changes flow well within one song, and you've executed that absolutely flawlessly. I hope you always continue to make work like this.

Such a sinister tune for one who would appear so innocent. I love that everything about this song, from the name to the thumbnail, would make one think of Messmer- Until they actually play the game. Then they KNOW whose song this is.

bro the vocals at the start were so good!

This song really shows the portrayal that Miquella doesn’t realize his crimes. He thinks not of the consequences, just of the end goal. Also I believe the song references the Tarnished, not Radahn with the words “Rise from your lifeless sleep, with eyes agleaming.” Referencing the Grace of gold that once guided the tarnished, now guided by the light of Miquella.

YOOOOOOOO THIS SLAPPS I genuinely thought it was gonna be a Messmer song from the first few lines, and then it hit that it's for Miquella and i was like "*OH-*" it felt really cool (even if i am now a bit sad it Isn't a Messmer song HGFVG) i absolutely love the way this was done though, the vocal work is amazing (god that range of style!! always dope as fuck to see that get flexed) and the fact the instrumental has this almost warped lullaby vibe??? oh my god??? it's so fucking cool that's so clever and i love how that bit that's like "i'm splintered (now twinless)/i miss her (so distant)/*no more a saint am i*" can refer to either Malenia *or* St. Trina that's so well done, just like how "rise from your lifeless sleep/with eyes agleaming" feels like it can refer to Radahn OR the Tarnished, Or!! how "cut off from the fingers/i won't need 'em much" earlier can go for both the two/three fingers themselves And the fact Miq is literally leaving pieces of himself strewn around and then the littler stuff in the lyrics!!!! like "torrents of love" nudging at Torrent's connection to Miquella, the lines referencing wordings and such from the trailers, "when this omen fell/i seized it" easily referring to Mohg, but then being re-contextualized into the prophecy meaning of "omen" with the next line!! seriously y'all were doing great shit with the lyrics holy shit

I like the little bit of Shed No Grace On Me at the end of the video.

The EXACT second this shows up on spotify, this fire is going on my halloween playlist. I've hardly touched Elden Ring and haven't played the DLC yet, so I was not expecting something this VIBEY from a Fromsoft song. But I love it!!!! Holy heck. I don't know how you guys keep making banger after banger after all these years, but keep up the legendary work!

This song solidifies how terrifying Miquella is

Love this song cause it seems like a twisted enchantment, as if it never stays the same. Also, love the strings at the credits part reminiscent of the JT’s other Elden ring song “shed no grace on me”.

This is so good! I don't think I've heard Skull sing so well like.. EVER! And the difference flow and cadence changes where amazing

I would give anything. ANYTHING. For a top-down warhammer-style game where you play as the various endings of Elden Ring; One where Miquella slowly spreads his mind-control over the world and shapes it how he sees fit; one with the frenzied flame, or the tarnished/ranni's ending wouldn't really fit tho...

Ironically. This gives me vibes of the DS1 rap which I really like since it is one of my favorites. right behind Shed No Grace, Never Wake Again, and Dance of the Swords (Unkindled was awesome but not my top favorites)

0.30 looks like an Artorias fangirl, with a fire sword.
