    Are you a devout believer or an iron fist pariah? Check out Dan Bull's alternate ending! ua-cam.com/video/ADwUlpdR_PA/v-deo.html
    This is just the first of our planned collabs! ;)
    LYRICS:
    [VERSE 1]
    Gather brothers, gather sisters, soothe your blisters by the fire
    Though our bones may ache and groan we know our spirits never tire
    The temperature’s low but our purpose is much higher
    What’s behind us mustn’t blind us to divineness that transpires
    Now her spires have expired, well she rests in each of you
    London’s not a place - it wasn’t left beneath our boots
    And by grace we have been blessed with that most elegant of truth
    You stand here not abandoned but as testament and proof
    For a city is its people and it’s people are it’s heart
    Stood together ‘gainst the weather, ‘gainst the coming of the dark
    Ne’er a lantern has been lit with oh so righteous a spark
    When providence claimed continents but provided us an ark
    [VERSE 2]
    We moved north as awful forceful storms removed borders
    Forced to leave the warmth behind, the daylight hours grew shorter
    Unable to read at night, the people might dispute lawbooks
    Ushering the death of Joy, Division made a New Order
    Brute force and discipline ensures all the citizens
    are chipping in sufficiently under threat of imprisonment
    Liberty’s prohibited, retired It’s mandatory compliance now
    To keep the fire alight we need to stamp any defiance out
    We can ill afford the price of human rights nor pay the cost of anger
    So we stifle scrutinising eyes astray with propaganda
    The only way that we can pull through, is under cruel rule
    If a single person falls out of line, we all do
    [CHORUS]
    Morning gathering or evening prayer
    We still battle for a season fair
    We still huddle in the freezing air
    For a summer that’s not even there
    If the sun won’t rise on our horizon
    We’ll march on to spite the skies and
    Find that wheel of progress so well worn
    Brought us no shelter from the storm
    [VERSE 3]
    I have heard there are those who would defy us
    Who’d choose oppression o’er ascension for the pious
    Dissidents without repent are bent on questioning the dias
    Twisted iron fist pariahs and their heretic messiah
    Winter blizzards to infinity so sing the hymns and litanies
    Hand in and skin the sinners if you wish to skim divinity
    Each shiver will deliver us deliverance in time
    Burn the innocents for penitence if we preempt the crime
    I’m protector of the truth - great erector of the new faith
    Defectors and objectors can expect a second doomsday
    Unquestioning our destiny, relentless we pursue fate
    Alone I have been chosen to be spoken through by true grace
    Frozen omens say we should invoke another crusade
    [VERSE 4]
    We rush to crush dissent from those who claim we must repent
    how could a benevolent God subject us to such events?!
    Against the elements, precious seconds each of us has spent
    completing Public Penance could have been invested putting up the tents
    Pragmatism’s borne of pessimism, not a full blown
    pestilence, infecting desperate residents with false hope
    Now they’ve sworn oaths, and pledged commitment to a cult, no
    mercy will be shown or quarter given, fetch the coiled rope
    And hang them by the necks until it’s taut, the lesson learned is certain:
    No forgiveness for giving attention to those worthless sermons
    No measure of faith will keep you warm or sate your appetite
    So pray heed the warning or we may just have to tax your life
    [CHORUS]
    Morning gathering or evening prayer
    We still battle for a season fair
    We still huddle in the freezing air
    For a summer that’s not even there
    If the sun won’t rise on our horizon
    We’ll march on to spite the skies and
    Find that wheel of progress so well worn
    Brought us no shelter from the storm
    [VERSE 5]
    Now the book of laws has closed and it’s pages shine a light
    As the people fill the shrines in line with my divine right
    This battlement of sacraments, as chattel to our rite
    The sacrilegious and recalcitrant shall vow or face the smite
    Non believers shan’t deceive us, we shall greet their cheek with grievance
    In this ceaseless season we redeem the meek with bleak obedience
    Seeking each unheeding heathen, see them bleed or plead allegiance
    Blessed be relief from freedom; lest ye feel the need for treason
    since the precept was decreed, its certainty was predetermined
    mere herds of sheep are people, thus they need to be subservient
    ‘Neath so turbulent a firmament the worst of men survive
    Pray their mercy may preserve us once we touch the other side

    What I love is how the rap thematically progresses down the tech tree for Faith. If you don't go too far down Faith, it stays a benign and more hopeful option, much like the first verse. But each additional step you take down that line makes it darker and more insidious...until Order seems better because at least it's honest.

      Thing is, even at the end, the Captain may still have the best interests of the people at heart. As the storm closes in and gets progressively worse, we see riots, raids, hoarding, even drunks getting rather too forward with some of the women. Even as a totalitarian despot or theocratic demagogue, the Captain may still be acting in what he believes is the best interests of the most people. Gathering absolute power to one man is a terrible responsibility, as from then on, every single death, every single minute of suffering, every disaster and every triumph is on their shoulders and theirs alone and they must be FLAWLESS, or at the very least, the best possible choice. That's a responsibility and power that can corrupt the best men, but you know what they say about the road to hell.

      @MajorCoolD 4 роки тому +237

      @@thecrtf4953 I would disagree, but I got to admit it has been a while since I last played the game. I thought that Faith ultimately gave me more... morally acceptable options without sacraficing too much in order for the last City to survive. With faith you can decide wheter you want to go down all the way on that road or wheter to keep it somewhat moderate, while with Order you have no choice but to go down all the way if you want to reap a bountifull harvest of efficiency by pushing the people well beyond their limits and see the weak and brittle crushed down to debris and being thrown into the Mortar that'll turn them into the mass to further cement one's totalitarian rule.
      That is not to say that Faith if followed down to the path of fanatism isnt appaulling either, but if you keep it somewhat moderate, you ultimately give the people what they need most in such dark times: Hope. The hope of an end to the long dark, the winter, a hope for humanity, a new start, the mere hope of survival.
      It's ultimately hope that makes the people keep pushing onwards despite the odds and give it their all. They say that a chain is just as strong as it's weakest link, but I think the community and the people in Frostpunk, in the last City, are not a long chain, at least not a chain of steel, but a chain of candles...
      Even one candle can ignite a hundred more without it's own light waining and every candle lit is a new hope, and a candle on it's own may be snuffed out quickly but take a thousand candles and you have a bonfire, a bonfire that can give warmth, light and guidance.
      Rhetoric aside, I simply think that indeed the support network and the buffs you get out of it on the grand scheme, simply outweight the 'special commands, issues and other powers' you get from Order... but who knows, maybe they have patched it by now and reworked it since I played it back then?

    I understand that learning Shakespeare can be difficult to learn. I too have difficulty understanding his poetry. But perhaps if poetry, such as this where to be presented to modern students in this format, then perhaps they, including me, could grasp the concepts of complex poetry, and have a better understanding. For at his time there was a type of English language that doesn't truly adhere to English of modern times. But this rap is construed in a way that presents sophisticated poetry structures , but at the same time conveys complex concepts that are understood by modern audiences.

    Completed a faith playthrough just the other day, but I stopped at Public Penance. Let the sinners repent and be welcomed once again, for dogma will not serve when simple faith and community will not an without those foundations, any spire we build is sure to crumble. Allow me to add my own verse?
    As your captain, I'm not a man for praying - there's too much to be decided,
    Food and shelter balanced, weighing, scripture risks making me misguided.
    But I recognise the need to believe in some higher purpose,
    A sacred creed so fear and hate will not yet usurp us.
    And while I may not kiss the cross, nor thumb the pages of the bible,
    I place my faith in each of you, humans at their heart are tribal.
    We stand together in the cold, each hand in hand and hearts uplifted,
    For with love for brothers, sisters all, through the snow see - the sunlight glinted.

    Im not trying to be all r/enlightened centrism here, but its rather clever. In an extreme survival Situation like that of Frostpunk, a rigid set of rules will often be what comes of it, question is only from which you derive your right to rule. Is it by Divine right, some benevolent being from beyond whom you assure us are looking down and watching out for us, in return for our obedience?
    Or Is it from our certain knowledge that Survival is paramount, and that if we stray from the road of progress and work, that we endanger each and all of our fellow man. No man has the right to take the life of another, so why should your laziness/freedom condemn the rest of us? Swear your Loyalty to the Captain!

More often then not ill be shot as the messenger or made out to be the bad guy to act as a scapegoat for guilty consciousnesses.

      Thats a pretty speech but here is why some people don't like centrism, for instance myself, after years of being part of it :
      Imagine nazis are here. And they want to do what nazis do, purifying the race, all that euginistic racist stuff, you know?
      Opposed to them we would have people who simply don't want to do that, nor to let them do that.
      And then... well... centrists would come in and start saying that we should listen to one another and find a middle ground. Do you see the problem of a middle ground between normal and nazis?
      Globally, going to the middle ground of violent authoritarians isn't a good compromise, it will already be violent and already authoritarian, and it will simply be a first step untill the next compromise, allways in the same direction, with a new "normal" becoming more nazi at every step.
      Centrism are weak against Totalitarians. And totalitarians will never let such an opportunity go to waste.
      As John Stuart Mill once said : "Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing"
      Thing is, we don't have a huge amount of actual nazis nowadays... but we have something that might be even worse :
      Everywhere around the world, nowadays, we see democracies' powers being diminished by the global elite, and when a nation tries to resist, a dictatorship takes its place.
      The rich and powerful do not care about us, and will not stop profitting of ressources and rampaging the planet. They will destroy every once of democracy to maintain their power.
      We cannot compromise with their ideology anymore. Our freedom and that of our children are at stake, but not only that...
      Our ecosystem is at stake, our lives are at stake. They are indirectly murdering all of humanity.
      I stopped beeing a centrist at the moment I realised I was being complicit of a global genocide and the end of democracy.

The brilliant Believer side had more biblical words, whilst the fisters were more brutal in their approach. Not only was each side conveyed in a way that I could understand it without having played the game, the lyrics alone told me so much about the characters.

    To be honest my man! This is my favourite song so far because it’s a beautiful balance between musical and rap but also with a hint of real world problems. Both sides right in certain ways but no side overpowers the other. And the chorus is an amazing summary of the game. A true masterwork

    When I am down and in need of uplifting, I listen the the Faith side of this song. When I am in need of motivation to work despite the pain, and grief; I listen to the Order side.
    But no matter which end of the spectrum I fall on, I always listen to the chorus with a sense of warmth in my heart. As if I was standing among the faithful, singing along in the freezing cold.

    I love how Faith’s opening line already shows his untrustworthy nature:
    “Gather, brothers. Gather, sisters. Soothe your blisters by the fire.”
    Heat and friction are what cause blisters, not what heals them. The way he says it sounds kind and welcoming, but in reality he has no solid and sustainable plan for New London

This was also my first introduction to Frostpunk and after watching a playlist on the main campaign and buying the game on PS4 I absolutely love it. I can't wait for Frostpunk 2, thank you Stupendium

I know it’s sappy but this is a genuinely good song - something like you’d hear from a good movie or series.

    Somehow I remembered line from sci-fi story: Humanity was lost, only humans remains. Faith and Order. Hope and cold reason. Heart and mind. I belive both factions could lost in the end if they managed to eradicate the other. People need hope to fight for better day, but also need to work for it to make it happen. Without hope we would be just living corpses, survivng but nor really living, on the other hand without determination to take fate into our own hands such hopes would remain only as distant dreams. So I call it a draw :)
