    LYRICS:
    Lady of Worlds Gavin Dunne 2015
    I’m here again
    No place and everywhere
    Black bark and smouldering air
    My influence
    Another turn
    Another peace to shun
    Gauntlet of frost to run
    No difference
    Back and forth on the pendulum
    Swinging hard towards the outside
    Smash the walls of the clocks and run
    Overcoming the confines
    Time and space on the frailest veil
    Frozen cold in the static
    Bloody blades under hatred’s sails
    Tearing out through the fabric
    The shimmer of white skies
    I spin to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    Gifts I can’t control
    The shimmer of white skies
    The legacy leashed in my cries
    Shall reign over bitter white skies
    I pay the debt
    Muse to another’s song
    Heir to another’s wrongs
    Unwanted crown
    Dance on the wind
    Through space and time I swirl
    The lady of the worlds
    Don’t hold me down
    Back and forth on the pendulum
    Swinging hard towards the outside
    Smash the walls of the clocks and run
    Overcoming the confines
    Wake the wolf with a distant roar
    Strands of ash separated
    To entwine on a misty shore
    Troubled lives ever fated
    The shimmer of white skies
    I spin to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    Gifts I can’t control
    The shimmer of white skies
    The legacy leashed in my cries
    Shall reign over bitter white skies
    Weave these strands of ash
    Together
    Warm our hands on the embers of time
    The shimmer of white skies
    She spins to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    She’s losing control
    The shimmer of white skies
    I’m haunted at night by her cries
    Yeah I’m frozen cold....
    The shimmer of white skies
    I spin to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    Gifts I can’t control
    The shimmer of white skies
    The worth I no longer defy
    Shall reign over bitter white skies

      @@davidblair9877 Funfact: the Japanese Naginata was originally a sword (mostly Wakizashi, occasionally also a Tanto dagger) blade mounted on a pole and it was used by women as well. It was actually considered the most appropriate polearm for them (the other polearms on the battlefield were longer and heavier, plus a Naginata could allow even a weaker person to decapitate someone).

    If you think about it, the witcher 3 was never about Geralt, because his hero’s journey was told in the books and the preceding games; Ciri was the Arthurian legend the ballad would remember, and you the player didn’t play as the traditional ‘chosen one’ character, but rather the person who influences and builds the girl into the legend.

      Relationship between them are much deeper and metaphysical in books. Probably for 4-5 games like Witcher 3. Their relationship isn't only as a adoptive father and daughter, but they are connected by fate (in my opinion the strongest power in Witcher uniwerse).

    Imagine if Ciri came to our world. She did allude to something like that when Geralt found her in that cabin. "People there had metal in their heads, waged war from a distance, using things similar to megascope. There were no horses, everyone had their own flying ship". Granted we don't have personal flyers yet. As if she came to a world similar to our own just slightly more advanced.

      Kazmistrz1993 I agree that the most fun I had in The Witcher 3 I had while fighting as Ciri. It wasn't as complex as Geralt's fighting, so it was the right call to limit the time of the sections, but the faster, lighter combat really appealed to me. Dodge roll is great, a staple of any character action game, but blink will always be more fun.

      Kazmistrz1993 I kind of hated that she sopped the white frost - for book-Ciri it was an integral part of her character arc that she decided she cared about her personal happiness more than her duties of birth, and so for her to stop the white frost undoes that arc.

      aNerdNamedJames Honestly, I just pretend that the books and the games are separate entities. The games aren't bad, but there is the mild issue of their storyline blatantly contradicting the established stories. That being said, I wouldn't say that she cared about personal happiness more than her destiny - at the end, she almost seemed to accept it before asking for time. and considering that she can jump through time, it's potentially possible that she does eventually find the maturity and selflessness to come back and face fate.

    Lyrics :
    I'm here again
    No place and everywhere
    Black bark and smouldering air
    My influence
    Another turn
    Another peace to shun
    Gauntlet of frost to run
    No difference
    Back and forth on the pendulum
    Swinging hard towards the outside
    Smash the walls of the clocks and run
    Overcoming the confines
    Time and space on the frailest veil
    Frozen cold in the static
    Bloody blades under hatred's sails
    Tearing out through the fabric
    The shimmer of white skies
    I spin to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    Gifts I can't control
    The shimmer of white skies
    The legacy leashed in my cries
    Shall reign over bitter white skies
    I pay the debt
    Muse to another's song
    Heir to another's wrongs
    Unwanted crown
    Dance on the wind
    Through space and time I swirl
    The lady of the worlds
    Don't hold me down
    Back and forth on the pendulum
    Swinging hard towards the outside
    Smash the walls of the clocks and run
    Overcoming the confines
    Wake the wolf with a distant roar
    Strands of ash separated
    To entwine on a misty shore
    Troubled lives ever fated
    The shimmer of white skies
    I spin to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    Gifts I can't control
    The shimmer of white skies
    The legacy leashed in my cries
    Shall reign over bitter white skies
    Weave these strands of ash
    Together
    Warm our hands on the embers of time
    The shimmer of white skies
    She spins to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    She's losing control
    The shimmer of white skies
    I'm haunted at night by her cries
    Yeah I'm frozen cold...
    The shimmer of white skies
    I spin to & fro
    A flicker of wild eyes
    Gifts I can't control
    The shimmer of white skies
    The worth I no longer defy
    Shall reign over bitter white skies

      Honestly, she is too amazing to give her too much screen time before it gets stale. The whole point of of her getting chased is becomes of the immense powers she wields and they give you a couple times the chance to try them out to show it's not just words. However if you make it too long, it will either get boring fast since you are a monster or they make it harder which lessens the whole idea of her being well...the most powerful being in the witcher universe.

She is literally a Goddess but despite all of this she just wants to feel happiness and freedom, but every time there is a catastrophe her heroic side surfaces and she ends up saving the world. Plus she has that sort of attitude which I find attractive.

    This song is the best about Ciri! I got to give you props on composing it! I think even master bard Dandelion would be jealous.

    What's really crazy is that I hear traces of this song in the Witcher opening on Netflix. When the opening reaches the first crescendo, I can just hear "shimmer of white skies" echoing through it.

    Gavin, your talent is astonishing! Whenever I think "That's it - that's gotta be the best he'll ever do", you just keep raising the bar further!
    I was trying to figure out through the entire song, if it was Lorna singing. A shame there probably won't be anymore Elizabeth-themed songs, I always loved her part in the Bioshock-songs! But Ailin did fantastic as well on this - Ciris Song is going straight to repeat for me the next couple of weeks! :D
