- From the official soundtrack of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
Composes: Rebecca Kneubuhl & Gabriel Mann
Developers: Etranges Libellules
Publishers: Sierra Entertainment, Activision Blizzard
Platforms: PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii - Ігри
According to Yan Le Pon, the Etranges LIbellules artist who designed the Floating Islands in DOTD, the Burned Lands used to be another part of Warfang. As you go through the level you can see Warfang statues, destroyed bridges and burned trees. To think, this used to be just a city block until Malefor attacked Warfang as soon as he was resurrected after TEN. He must've had so much hatred for the dragon city if he wanted to uproot the city temple and parts of it as his personal domain above the continent.
Good to see you hear
That's exactly what I just said. Honestly.
Spyro: "I feel so alone."
Cynder: "You're not alone."
Breaks my heart
Aww
"My path ends here, but yours lies beyond this. Draw strength from each other, and follow your heart. It will never fail you. Now, go. Go, go!"
Goodbye, Old Friend. 😥
One of the best moments hands down...
@@allidragon7041 Ignitus' death just as sad as Brok's in God Of War
what makes me sad, is that they abandoned this masterpiece .
Ayoosh same I wish they remaster or remake this trilogy eventually
@@nebula2482 i wish that too , god it will be AMAZING with ps4/ps5 .
@@YooshXo yeah sure....but activision :/
@@Spaqus one can always hope I guess. people thought the og trilogy would never be remade, so who knows :o
Maybe in 8 years since that will be when legend of Spyro is 20 years old they will make a remake but that’s still a long time
*This is the most sobering soundtrack in the series*
You just watched Ignitus, your father figure, the man who always seemed to have a plan and a solution just incinerate himself so you could live on. Ignitus was the first character you saw, even before Spyro; he was the first voice and person you saw in the entire series. He was a clearly broken and tired man, having to hold the title and responsibility of leading the charge against Malefor WELL past his prime. And just when his son-figure returns, RIGHT when the war seems to be turning in their favor... he dies before he can see it end. He was born in war and he died in war. Not once did he ever know a time of peace.
And with THAT painful thought, what people don't realize is... *The burned lands are Spyro's old home.* This is where Spyro grew up with Sparx and his adopted parents, now his home (and most likely his parents) have been long since been destroyed.
Spyro's old life with his parents and home is gone, his present life with Ignitus is gone, and his future is about to be gone too. The entire level, you see the Destroyer slowly approach the volcano, knowing the world is going to end the moment he reaches it. The end of the world is today. Despite ALL you've suffered, all you've sacrificed, all you've endured... it's all about to amount to nothing. You couldn't save your home, you couldn't save the man who loved you like his own son, you couldn't save the world... and now you trudge towards the temple, a place you once felt safe at... in a final, desperate attempt to buy the world just another day. Yet as you get closer... the destroyer gets closer.
*These are your final hours*
this is so true and I love the fact that more people love this game and reflection about it. However, I believe that actually the burned lands is not the swamp, like I know the swamp and the temple were close but the temple wasn't under a volcano before, it's been moved and it's not in the same location. Or maybe it's a different temple but I believe that if it was the swamp, someone would have said something about it.
But for the rest, I love the truth and reflection of your comment:)
Actually it isn't true. According to this new information.
A story mistranslation or error in dialogue in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon has Hunter of Avalar heavily imply that the temple Malefor took over was the Dragon Temple.[1] This isn't the case, as it was revealed by a game concept artist that Malefor actually tore a fraction of Warfang along with its city temple above the land.[2] However because of this error, fans believed that the Dragon Temple was made into Malefor's new stronghold and the surrounding land was the same region as the Swamp.
@GalacticHypernova look it up
@@FeatherWings78 I'd never heard that before, that's actually fascinating information to hear! I never did think the Burned Lands were the Swamp, but I _did_ assume Malefor's temple was meant to be the Dragon Temple, so it's interesting to hear that that's not the case.
And people say that this game is just cliche and overly-dark.
This is chorus music in video games done right...so tragically and beautifully right.
These 3 games were the best thing that happened to spyro.
that was my first Spyro game, and that was so epic, too bad there is no more of spyro games like this one.
You're super right
Too bad all the genwunners only like the original.
@@alanwayne7643 Yeah....
@@alanwayne7643 I like both trilogies, and hero's tail too. Skylanders on the other hand...
Lyrics (for the whole track)
1st part [Catullus, Book III]
Latin
[at] vobis male sit, malae tenebrae
Orci, quae omnia bella devoratis:
tam bellum mihi passerem abstulistis
o factum male! o factum male!
English
but curse on you, evil shadows
of hell , who devour all beautiful things:
you have taken such a beautiful sparrow from me
Oh what evil deeds! Oh what evil deeds!
2nd part [Ovid, Amores, Book I]
Latin
Ergo etiam cum me supremus adederit ignis,
vivam, parsque mei multa superstes erit.
English
I, too, when the final fires have eaten up my frame,
shall still live on, and the great part of me survive my death...
I don't know why they sing 'vivam' twice and why 'superstes' is mispronounced
They have done this cause the melody can sound more sad and beautiful
Where did you acquire this great knowledge? I've wanted to know what the lyrics were for years lol
+1 👍 for citing your sources. It's funny they should come from the love poems, but it is _very_ on-theme.
This...(sniff)... really speaks the truth about Ignitus' ordeal. It's like he knew what was coming, and he knew that his life was coming to an end at some point.
Superstes isn't mispronounced
I had to use a hifiman Sundara to find it.
on standard headphones and earphones ,the vocals lack detail, however if you use headphones with emphasis on mid-range and have a good separation, you can start to guess the lyrics a bit more) .like a sennheiser hd600 or a hifiman Sundara with crazy details in female vocals
I would never have understood the lyric without your post ,so thanks
This game doesn't deserve a remaster...
...because it's already perfect.
There's alot of things cut out and I'm working on a script getting through forming the first parts of ANB, you can check my video to see what I think about a Remake which is for minor changes, only keeping the same story and layout of the games the same but Remaster doesn't mean it is done so much like the Reignited Trilogy, you can have an HD Remaster keeping it the same but improving the quality which I feel for us Legend fans, we need that Remaster and that can spread to those who don't know how great this series is or that it exists in general, it's best to do it because we can play with new consoles and systems but with this Remaster, I want Aether playable in all levels in ANB without needing hacks.
That one scene of Sparx seems to disagree with you(I love the games don't get me wrong, but I can never take that scene seriously with sparxs eyes literally bulging out of his head-)
Ya, remaster of what?
@@aquaticalateralis Oh, God..... Not THAT. Anything but THAT! I know exactly what you're talking about!
@@Unit102ALPHA ITS SO HORRIFYING
And to think this area was Spyro's home growing up...
@Luna Lawliet
Think about it. The swamp was near the Dragon Temple, right? Guess where the Dragon Temple is now? Above the Volcano in the Burned Lands. The swamp was changed into this place.
I'd say a bigger surprise is how Spyro had NO reaction to this whatsoever.
Imagine if Sparx was with Spyro and Cynder at this point...
Sparx: Hey, Spyro?
Spyro: Yes, Sparx?
Sparx: Do you think Mom and Dad made it out?
Spyro: I hope so, Sparx. I really do...
@@SithArbiter1157 True. But maybe it's right for Ignitus that Sparx doesn't go with them. It'd be too forced if he recognizes that area in a second.
OMG, thank you for mentioning this. This is such a good theory and it does make sense! Now the OST is 1000 times sadder and more beautiful. Truly, thank you! ♥
I NEVER NOTICED THIS AND NOW I'M CRYING
Kind of disappointed in the critics when they critiqued The Legend series. Their main complaint was the repetitive combat and hammered that down throughout the videos.
The game's not about combat. The Legend series was a narative-driven story, and a damn good one at that.
True story
I'll admit that the conclusion to the trilogy could have been more fleshed out on a few aspects, but I will agree that the story is really good.
I cannot tell you how much I needed to hear this. Thank you.
Critics need to learn how to criticise.
Indeed it was.
i wish someone would make similar games to this aesthetic :c there's so much potential. like why isn't more video games with a dragon protagonist a thing
Exactly the reason I enjoy this series, and the icing on the cake is this trilogy depicts dragon magic as WAY more than just simply breathing fire. A wrecking ball from the mouth and swirling in a blizzard tornado is just a few cool ideas out of the countless possibilities.
The team said they barely scratched the surface of what potential the Dragons of this universe are capable of.
By the way, there is an upcoming indie game with a dragon protagonist. Glyde the Dragon. It does give off TLoS vibes with similar powers (only a more fairly provided budget and fairly paid developers meaning more abilities and a happier team). It's starting out with a PC version (and it was my reason for finally getting one) but it will find its way to other consoles if it's successful. I'll buy it on Switch too after that happens. I am that hypes and grateful for its existence alone.
It doesn't have to be about Dragons, just this feel and look it has.
Edit:However Dragons should definitely be included in it, doesn't need to be of a Protagonist but for like a new How To Train Your Dragon game.
I've tried to do a turn-based fangame based on the LoS universe (in a crossover with FFVII funnily enough) but I'm kind of a dumbass and try as I might, I just couldn't get a handle on coding. So I just settled for concept art and music. Still, it's a testament to how good the worldbuilding in LoS is that I wanted to try making a tribute to it.
Really builds you up before the endgame
how could anyone just up and ditch such an incredible masterpiece such as this, the
game mechanics may have been the lest favourite part but the whole story is absolutely astonishing
One thing I realized was that to Spyro and Cynder, since they have been in crystal for 3 years, to them everything from the end of A New Beginning to the end of Dawn of the Dragon is literally happening within weeks.😢😢😢 meaning if they did die in Dawn of the Dragon, Cynder literally would've had weeks to live as her own person.😔😔😔
thankfully they didn't die, if that were the case, Cynder literally would have been one of the top most tragic characters, she's been taking against her will as a mere egg, turned into a literal monster against her will to serve an evil purple dragon who thinks purple dragons were meant to destroy, she was still blamed and hated by Sparx and the cheetas despite the fact she was brainwashed and who knows how many others still have grudges against her and she even blamed herself, she spent 3 years trapped in a crystal along with Spyro, chained with him and have her very oppressor lie to Spyro that she was still evil and then forced her to attack Spyro against her will...AGAIN...and then dies after all?. what kind of life is that?? but you know what's interesting? even tho AFTER they defeated Malefor and they are finally unchained, Spyro taught her to leave, she could have had a chance to leave and finally get to live her life while Spyro rebuilds the world, but she didn't...she'd rather stay with the very dragon who saved her, searched high and low for her after she decided to leave the temple, protected her, and who is also her very FIRST FRIEND...and even developed feelings for him after knowing that Spyro thought it was pointless to fight back when he told her she left him nothing to fight for, she realised after all the misery, all the grudges thrown at her, the horrors she caused against her will, Spyro was the one person who cares for her more than anyone else, she'd rather die with him then be without him, Spyro completes her. but thankfully they didn't die, now they can finally be happy and be together, remember when Cynder didn't sound empathetic when Ignitus dies? i think she behaved like that cause she never knew what it felt like to be cared about until Spyro revealed his feelings to her. i know that this is a different Spyro, but Cynder deserves to have Spyro as her boyfriend more than Elora, also cause they are both dragons
I want this trilogy for ps4...without any arrengement of musics...they are already perfect
Cynder: "He's up there somewhere isn't he? I don't know if i can go through with this."
Spyro: "I don't know either. But we have to you said it yourself everything we've thought for everything we've lost it's all been for nothing."
Cynder: "Aright then I'll go but only because i want to get rid of this chain. "
Don't know if anyone has pointed out that the first and main melodic fragment here is the first one from the title theme of a new beginning inverted. Perfect for the destroyed homelands Spyro once knew (as another comment pointed out).
Why does make me feel emotional for 😢❤
💜
This music is the agony of the spyro world...is a music you fell with heart not by ears....for apreciate it you must play the game this is the death of ignitus theme
Spyro is the best thing in my life❤
same
Ayoosh same I have my UA-cam channel name based on malefor because I love the series that much
Same here.
Same 💜
This song really feels like the definition of sorrow and emptiness.
2:10 and 2:38 are the best parts.
Anyone else not even realize how long this goes on for, until like five or six minutes in, and still listen to the rest anyway?
Comunque ragazzi io ho i brividi ad ascoltare questa colonna sonora di questo gioco provo una certa emozione ogni volta che la ascolto!
Mi fa piacere trovare uno della mia stessa nazionalità che ascolta le ost di the legend of spyro. È molto raro da trovare specialmente nei commenti stranieri
Lyrics for 1st part (from The Poetry of Gaius Valerius Catullus)
Latin
[at] vobis male sit, malae tenebrae
Orci, quae omnia bella devoratis:
tam bellum mihi passerem abstulistis
o factum male! o factum male!
English but curse on you, evil shadows of hell,
who devour all beautiful things:
you have taken such a beautiful sparrow from me
Oh what evil deeds! Oh what evil deeds!
The way this song is hollow is really something else...
Imagine that everything you knew, the place you grown up and lived more than half of your life, suddenly is reduced to nothing but ashes. Memories, people and tender feelings of the old days, flowing like smoke and simply dissipating into the air, remnants of grief being inhaled and filling your lungs. Nothing can be made, only acceptation of the loss, and keep trying to stay strong to keep facing the arduous war harvesting the world.
This is my favourite song of all TLOS trilogy. It is ethereal, melancholic and funereal, very fitting to this moment of the story and for the feelings of the main characters
Don't worry it's confirmed that the Burned Lands is not the Swamp, it was only a part of Warfang when Malefor uprooted the city temple and surrounding city block.
That song hits me square in the feels, every time
It's nice, but also sort of surreal to hear these tracks fitting together so well and not be segmented in some way.
Cynder: He’s up there somewhere isn’t he? I don’t know if I can go through with this. Spyro: I don’t know either. But we have to. You said it yourself if we don’t, then everything we fought for… everything we’ve lost… it’s all been for nothing. Cynder: Alright then. I’ll go, but only because I want to get rid of this chain. As Cynder smiles at Spyro then Spyro smiles back at Cynder with him closing his eyes. Spyro: Come on the air is too thick down here with this ash. There’s probably an updraft near the volcano…
Spyro: Ignitus… Nooooo…! Cynder: Spyro, stop! It’s too late! You can’t do anything for him now! Spyro: No… he isn’t gone… Cynder: Spyro... let it go. Spyro: *looks sad at Cynder before returning back to Dark Spyro after it still lay dormant in him for three years* Dark Spyro: No! Cynder: No! Spyro, don’t! Dark Spyro: You can’t stop me! Cynder: You’re right. Only you can do that. Please Spyro. Don’t do this. Dark Spyro: *looks depressed at her before returning back to his normal self (which is Spyro) and feels depressed before looks at Cynder* Cynder: We have to go on. He wanted us to. Spyro: It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I feel so alone. Cynder: You’re not alone. Both Spyro and Cynder: *put their heads on each other*
Anybody else here for the nostalgia this track brings?
This is so beautiful I could listen to this for hours and not get tired of it
This whole soundtrack really is an orchestral masterpiece.
The first 3 spyro games makes my life to a better life. The games got a place in my heart
I find that the legend of Spyro trilogy very much resembles the Lord of The Rings trilogy.
I never got past this... I've been stuck at this save point with the unskippable big purple monsters that I couldn't beat no matter how long I flew away after two hits to wait for the crystal to regen so I could go fight again 😢
3:55 почему то с этого момента аж плакать хочется..
Вот да... Вообще музыка в этом уровне очень опустошает и становится грустно.
It's emotional when you realize this is the same place where you ran through beautiful forests in the last game
Turns out it’s not. The Etranges Libellules artist who designed The Floating Islands confirmed Malefor uprooted a part of Warfang and its city temple and the devastation turned into the burned lands we see in the game. The Swamp temple is probably still intact back on another continent.
Music reflecting on the painful and meaningless destruction around you.
If they redid the whole trilogy and didn't mess with much of the story and improved the graphics, like the reignited trilogy, I would be so happy because my dawn of the dragon disc for the xbox 360 is beyond repair :( and my ps2 doesn't work anymore for the other 2 games
easily one of my top 5 favorite soundtracks ever made !
so many pieces in this trilogy sound like church music or something. it gives an incredibly massive and ancient feel to the songs and the world. a lot of them remind me of hans zimmer’s compositions. this one particularly reminds me of the piece that plays during and shortly after the stampede scene in lion king.
It only gets better once you understand the latin lyrics... The first part is one of Catull's mournful elegies, where it's all about evil deeds and losing beautiful things, they emphasize words such as "male" (evil) by singing them dissonantly and shrill... As to vocalize how evil and horrifying the deeds were... In the second part the song gets more steady like a slow, defiant march in he face of it all, and the lyrics talk about surviving despite being burned.
The fact that the song foreshadows Spyro’s relationship with Ignitus is amazing
@@n4sos Yeah, if we say that the lyrics are sung from Spyro's PoV the loss of Ignitus would be the freshest thing on his mind... Even with the literal devestation him and Cynder are surrounded by in this level. And then the part comes that shows that Spyro is pushing on, thanks to Cynder's love, something Ignitus actually predicted in his final words to the two. I like to think that being like a father to Spyro he knew how much Cynder meant to him.
@@tacdragzag7464 it really shows the direction of character dynamic the developers wanted to create for the characters but it couldn’t be fully fleshed out
@@n4sos Ikr, there are so many clever little beats in the cutscenes and character interactions, like Ignitus telling Spyro and Cynder to stay close to him before he moves into the wall of fire and then later Spyro repeats that to Cynder before they enter Malefor's lair, showing very subtly how he honors Ignitus' sacrifice, and just how much significance he had to him. They did that at the end of A New Beginning with Spyro and Cynder already, with Spyro repeating Cynder's "Bring it" and then just outright saying "She is just like me" alas the two of them are revealed to have a lot in common as Ignitus literally states. It's incredible how much you can read into it all. So it is no surprise that little things like level music contains such detail and care...
@@tacdragzag7464 And thats why I prefer tlos Spyro over og spyro. Tlos Spyro has much more character development than og Spyro. Og spyro seemed more snarky and goofy at times while tlos spyro seemed more serious and more determined to help others despite the fears and risks he encounters
I don’t hate the og games but I really love legend legend is my favorite because of the story the 3 games are great and am sure the planed movie was going to be good also am sure in a couple of years we will at least have cinder in a og game but hey 2026 is the 20 anniversary of legend of Spyro maybe we will get a remake then?
1:36 this section of the choir bit had some very discordant notes, which of course is applicable to the situation that Spyro and Cynder are in at this moment. But I'm wondering, what's going on with that discordant harmony? Is that a tritone, or something different? If it is something different, is there a name for it?
I'm good at matching pitch, but not at understanding what the notes actually are. If you played a note for me I wouldn't be able to tell you what note it was on what scale, and I wouldn't be able to tell you the length of the note either, even though I could sing that note back exactly. That's why I'm asking, for anyone that has any musical knowledge. I'm really interested in this stuff, like music theory and the role of music in storytelling.
Heartbreaking moment.
The saddest level in my opinion.
Who's still here for nostalgia
Me!

(different game series but…)
“Two Samos the Sages?! Ahh! Jak, they’re multiplying!”
Is it too much to ask for a remaster version sure new voice actors maybe needed
Ngl, I always imagine the first minute & 20 seconds of this soundtrack to be played when Spyro gets laid down with Cynder in bed in the moonlight :P
Never thought I'd see someone with a _Galaxy on Fire_ profile picture, another person of culture I see.

Shut up
Yes exactly and this is the most beautiful and powerful game evere...have you anything to say?
Malefor was just an evil purple dragon who believe in evil things including namely destruction and resurrecting the Destroyer to destroy the world but however Spyro did not like Spyro forgave Cynder one of his friends that he was close to and even being lovers too for what she unintentionally did because she was turned into Malefor’s puppet and he even still cared about her like he did with his mentor Ignitus and his own adoptive brother Sparx also for three examples when Spyro was worried if he was going to be like Malefor Ignitus told him that he doesn’t think that because he knows Spyro and his (Spyro’s) heart won’t allowed that he believes Spyro is destined of great things like bringing a new age of peace, and when Malefor told Spyro “It seems like we share other qualities besides our color.” which Spyro replied back was “No! I’m nothing like you.” and when Malefor said to Spyro “Your destiny is to destroy.” which then after that and being knock around by a corrupted Cynder then he (Spyro) told him (Malefor) was “No I don’t believe that!”
