Chords for Old Gods of Asgard - Herald of Darkness (Alan Wake 2 | Official Music Video)

_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _
Welcome, [N] welcome.
Our guest tonight is Alan Wolfe.
This time he wanted to do something a little different.
A deep dive into who he is as an artist and as a man.
Where he comes from, where he draws his inspiration,
what demons he wrestles with in the dark hours of the night.
Together with our house band, the divine Old Gods of Asgard,
we have created something very special.
The song is called Herald of Darkness,
but I like to call this next segment
the story of the journey of Alan Wake, the musical.
_ We just do what we always do.
We'll chat, but instead of talking, we'll [A] sing it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] From what I gathered, you grew up nice and sheltered
with mama's pretty [F] stories and [E] your own made up fury.
And mama gave me a magic flicker.
Well, yes, I [C] think it's true and fair to say
[A] _ [Am] I'm [C] in the lift [Dm] and lost, [E] where'd you put me?
A [Am] sin of the fire [C] you're [Dm] fearing.
Yeah, I [E] am the darkness, [Am] your [Bb] light.
_ [Am] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] So you were [F] drawn to stories early [Am] on.
My dreams would [F] light up my imagination.
[Am] And you had [F] nightmares night and [Am] day.
Yeah, but with the [F] clicker, I chased those [A] frights away.
Who are you?
So [Am] true.
So here [C] is the clue [Dm] of hope [E] for me
and [Am] the visions they come [D] true.
A [E] better life [Am] with you.
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Fm] So [Cm] may the champion [Db] of [Eb] love.
_ [Fm] I'll [Eb] show you the [C] Herald of Darkness.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Db] _
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Db] _
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Fm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
So here is the clue of hope for me.
And all your stories of crime, killing thrillers,
of hard boiled [F] killers [E] became best sellers.
_ _ It was all too [C] much, I had to [A] get away.
_ [Am] The story's the end [Dm] of the piece of the puzzle.
[E] The truth of true fiction,
[Am] gave me an endless hill [Dm] of faith [E] of [Am] creation.
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Am] But there is [F] more to it than meets the [Am] eye.
I never meant [F] for it to ruin my [Am] life that way.
You just [F] say you're a little jaded, [Am] why?
The [F] shades could never [A] save the day.
So fair.
But [Am] true.
Fight [C] in the [D] nightmares.
[E] Search in the light.
[Am] It's a gift or a curse.
[Dm] Oh yeah, [E] it ain't [Am] made of me.
[E] _ _ [Am] _ _ [E] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Fm] So [Eb] may the champion [Db] of love.
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] I'll show you the [C] Herald of Darkness.
_ [Fm] The [F] pain will never [Db] end.
_ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ [C] Divert you to the surface.
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She could write a new story [Dm] like Tom Zane before [Am] him.
And maybe they'd be happy [Dm] once again.
[Am] Just one [Em] shot, one more chance.
[Dm] For him to save their marriage.
[Am] Away from the city.
[Dm] A romantic [Bb] gathering. _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] Still [C] he's a troll's pharaoh.
[Dm] And he couldn't be [E] much clearer.
[Am] A war [C] needs its warrior.
[Dm] True [Am] and right.
The [C] darkness within him.
[Dm] Had [E] _
[Am] Stedjak seen her drowning.
[Dm] Would have saved her [E] from the darkness [Am] of the lake. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] So [F] may the champion [Db] of love.
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] I'll show you the [C] Herald of Darkness.
_ [Fm] Lost [Cm] and never [Db] in denial.
[C] _ _ [Fm] _ Divert you [C] to the surface.

_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] Such a dark place, am I trapped in here?
Is this [F] real?
I cannot [Am] remember.
There was a manuscript that held the [Gb] key.
A vicious [A] cycle I must not [Dm] surrender to.
Echo seems to seek [Bb] out.
[B] Again and again.
Until I [Dm] figure it out.
To bring this song to its end.
_ [A] _ _ _
