- My take on the song "Rivers in the Desert" from Persona 5.
This song was just so fun to make, and it's insane how well a disco song translates into metal. I believe this shows a bit different side of me as I feel the tone of this cover is pretty unique compared to my others. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy it!

Lyrics:
It's now or it's never, and I've got to
Make my decision
This time it could be my moment
Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing
On razor's edge now
Move quick or my life is over
One strike, just a feint, then ...
I'm outta his field of vision
Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to
Strike him down now
A chance at a new start
There's no time for indecision
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it:
A heartbeat for a tin man
An oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for:
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
My heart is a furnace,
(It's) Hot as hell in my world of conflict
One goal is what keeps me going
Take back what I lost to ...
The bosses of greed and fear, yeah
Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to take
Them down now
The time for a new start
Is constantly drawing nearer
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it:
A heartbeat for a tin man
An oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for:
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
When a cool drop of water's all I need
Gotta clear my head of anger and greed
A place to refresh heart and mind,
Can I find
Some time in
Rivers in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it:
A heartbeat for a tin man
An oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for:
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert

My vocal teacher from "Hellscream Academy" shared a link to your channel and he said: "this guy sings really cool.". So I became your subscriber. Gj, man!
Bro I what no way there’s a academy named that
Edit: I stand corrected
Criminal that this doesn't have more views.
haha! :D
Although I've finished the game so this doesn't apply to me, its very considerate of you to blur the gameplay so as not to spoil it for anyone. Even though I've done it, I still had to watch it for a little while to figure out exactly which battle it was.
Cover is fantastic also.
ThAnks! I thought it was just a nice background and a small teaser. Do NOT want to spoil for anyone :)
It's the battle against the next prime minister
@@SkarProductions He's right, I thought so too, I have never seen a community of fans SO dedicated to not revealing spoilers lol. It's refreshing to look up a guide for some random piece of information and not see stuff like "after this person does this and this person joins the party" lol. And it's cool that you respected that as well while paying a glorious homage to the masterpiece that is Persona 5.
Who started his own downfall lol
Final sin pride boss
So this is what a metal version of this song sounds like when properly done.
Dude-bro. That was so metal. It was like a river in a desert.
As a fan of both Persona and your music I have to say job well done!! You truly captured the emotion of this song
See this I can agree with, both the original and this are great.
I got to say this translates to metal AMAZINGLY WELL! I loved this game!
You're one of few VGM metal cover artists I genuinely get super pumped up for every single time you put out new content. Awesome cover!
who else does this sort of stuff? i can't get enough lol
That´s the best song of that OST, great cover!
Insane shirt also
Wow, wow, WOW, it's been almost 5 years since this... and it is NOW that I discover you covered my FAVORITE song on Persona 5?? that was quite a task, since I love the song, and you did it justice. Thank you for doing this, Skar.
Dude, my favorite song from the game covered by you?! THANK YOU! Amazing work as always, Skar!!
That was sick! Thanks, man! Incredible job!
Also, it makes me want to hear your interpretation of Persona 3’s “Burn My Dread” :)
Bread*
it is really rare to hear a cover of a song completely leave the original laying in the dust. Well done Skar! Your version is truly a work of art!
Nah, I'd disagree about this beating the original.
Hell yeah! This song always pops back into my life at the most appropriate times, thanks for being the one to do so this time around, Skar! 🤘
One of my favorite covers for this song, hope you do life will change next!
Dude, this is my favorite cover of ALL TIME. The P5 game soundtrack is so good. I didn't think I would like it any different than how it was but you, sir, have taken this song to the next level!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I just found this, but wow. This is way more effort than most covers manage. And it shows in its quality. You sir are very talented.
Yeah the mix is so full of depth and layers ! It aint no backing track!
Great voice and guitar, just perfect
Fantastic cover! I would love to hear more covers of Persona 5 from you! :)
I didn't know what is Persona 5 but now I know this cover is good :-D
Pretty new to the game myself :) But filled with awesome music!
.. you need to play it bro, best played blind, getting through to the end, totally worth the playthrough.

Check out the soundtracks for Persona 3 and 4 as well. They're arguably even better.
If you like JRPGs you will like Persona 5.
Richard Isaak Even if you don't like JRPGs you'll like Persona 5
easily one of the best versions of this I have heard!
I come back from lunch and I find this. My afternoon starts in the best way possible.
Holy shit... that was without a doubt one of your most impressive covers yet! It was so different, yet still bore that same familiar sound that you've come to show. And the vocals! It really showed the range of your cleans outstandingly. It sounds like it really pushed you but that's good we can't get better if we don't challenge ourselves and this showed that you're not just some dude making covers on UA-cam but an artist. Anyway, didn't mean to get all music critic but it was just that good!
You fuckin' killed it, man! Can't wait to see what you've got in the works for next time.
Agree ( : he has original creativity.
My kiddo, Colten, who's your 5 year-old fan was super excited for the new song by the "Hymn of the Firstborn guy". Awesome work as always!
It’s scary how good this is!
I'm normally not into Metal honestly, but this cover is SICK! You go man!
Sounds a bit like power-metal! :D But I really love it! Your voice fits PERFECTLY! Amazing work, Martin! :) I was so excited for your new video and you didn't disappoint me! :D
Glad I could provide, Louca! :)
Really Really! Love the way you handled this song. The guitar was amazing and the drums. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Looking back this cover is pretty damn different than my other ones. Was a good experience to make
Now I want to hear more from Persona 5! Awesome cover.
So amazing! It is great how you can take a song I have never heard before and make me love it Skar! Thank you!
You did such an amazing work with this, truly captures the hype from the original, and it's perfectly translated to metal.
It would be so great to see more Persona 5 covers from you ~
I finish the game like 2 weeks ago. Thanks for this cover !
Doing covers of the only music I listen to, creeeeeepy
awsome realy like the Background and left//right profile ideas great job mate
Thanks! The green screen thing is pretty new to me so I am just experimenting as I go :) Glad you liked it!
Criminally underviewed
You literally have a cover for all the best songs. I am totally having a party over here. So glad i found your channel!!!!!!
Wow. You're arrangement of this is absolutely spectacular I love the Power Metal arrangement you've got here also the dirty backing vocals during the chorus was a great touch! As somebody who didn't particularly care for the original (Thought it was a bit anti-climatic/not dramatic enough) and I didn't care for the original arrangement. Also your voice sounds spectacular! Great guitar tone too! Gucci solo!
Instant Subbed and buying this tune. I'm going to use this for my playlist at my Persona Dance Party for MagFest too!
PLEASE PLEASE do “Life Will Change”!!!
The best cover of this song ever.
Absolute fucking banger. Thank you so much for making this, you made my day better. So well produced and amazing sound.

AWESOME SKAR
Wow. Just wow. Awesome Cover!
Just discovered this.. THANK YOU so much for improving one of my favorite songs!
Oh, mate , this is so great! My fav song from P5, and you did it super cool! Thank You very much! Your metal arranges are best!
Persona 5 is one of my favorite games, and this song is probably my favorite. I only found your cover a few days ago, but it's been on repeat since then.
The way to make Sunday good even if you have to work!
It's been awhile since I've played this game, but this song brought the Nostalgia rushing back in, and I got the chills. Great job, man!
This game had so much style to it. And your cover is just as awesome.
"When a cool drop of water is all I need."
Dude.
You fucking nailed that shit.
Clearly his favorite shirt. Love The Black Dahlia Murder!
This is very, very, very, very good. I've been scouring the nets for a good Rivers in the Desert cover and yours is by far the best. Well done!!
Amazing
