Lyrics
--------------------------
We pick our way
Over hill, moor and changing
You into me
And me into you -
I meant to say
That I love you - or maybe -
Fear like a flame -
What's happening to me?
Chorus
Firelight burning the tower.
Hold tight, don't fight the power.
Firelight burning the tower.
Hold tight, don't fight
Dont fight, don't lose the power.
I went away
'Couse I missed you - or maybe -
You are not me -
And am I truly you?
Lantern with a star
Hard heart hammering where you are.
Steps low as fog
Firelight burning the tower.
Crowned light, moon of mine
I found you too soon.
Shining star of mine
Hold tight, don't fight the power.
Chorus
Moon light burning the flower.
Hold tight, don't fight the power.
Fire light burning the tower.
Hold tight! Don't fight!
Don't fight, dont lose the Power!
This game is a treasure, this song is a prize
Yes
deserved pin
When this song came on after I nuked the brain, it was perfect.
I hope the vibe is *just* as perfect for the other endings.
I was sad for no reason when the game ended
@@mr.rhg920 Oh no.
"We did it soldier"
😭😭😭😭
Monsoon? Didn't know you played BG3 or could play anything after Raiden chopped you into itty bitty pieces
This was the greatest game I've ever played in my life.
Its definitely up there that's for sure. Witcher 3, New Vegas, and GTA San Andreas have been my top 3 for like 10 years and this just completely shook it up.
Same here
shame it was buggy as all hell, reloading saves because you get a game breaking bug you can only prevent by loading hours old save is a disaster@@ImYourWattson
Ikr!!!!
@@Glade4i'm half way into act 3 and have had hardly any bugs, you can also prevent most bugs by just saving frequently. If you have to go back 4 hours because that was the last time you saved, that's your problem, not the games.
Hearing this song at the end of the game during the credits really felt so damned cinematic. Because we'd heard its leitmotif throughout the game, it felt like this was the culmination of every choice we'd made, because it was. What a beautiful game they gave us in a world where so many devs cut corners. And what a beautiful song to finish it off. Top down, everything was so good.
Other companies make *products*. The BG3 team made *ART*.
Devs cut corners often because they have to. Don’t put the blame on the developers, mate. Not every game can be Divinity 2 or BG3, and if they were, it would be less special when a bg3 did come out.
Publishers pay game devs poorly and wanting games of this caliber is going to often encourage crunch in the industry. This game was a perfect storm where none of that crap had to happen.
"Imps are fast but careless. Don't let them tire you out, just get rid of em and remember...you asked for this."
one of the few games (if not the only one) where i didn't skip the credits after my first playthrough. Larian put a titan's effort on this game. and the Composer said "let this day be our day" and created an album for the game.
i pay respects to the game which made me feel every emotion i've ever known.
I'm so happy I didn't skip the credits too, because the thanks from all the members of the team were amazing
i actually hated this part, for the developers were fools blinded by their own humility. They are thanking us, when in reality, it should be us thanking them, for blessing us with this masterpiece.
You know the game is good when you feel the love through the credits
What's the game called?
@@deadbeatplays Baldur's Gate 3
@@deadbeatplays you cannot be seriously asking that
😂😂its serious sam
I haven’t watched the credits in 25 years, since Super Mario RPG. I watched these.
this game is more than a just "game". it's an experience, it's a memory, it's a world. one of the most awesome game i've ever played.
i feel you
Greatest fantasy game ever. Yes. Even better than that one.
This song is telling me I’m gonna cry when the credits roll
You will....
I already do 😢
I did
only because it's over
And the only regret you will have is that you will not be able to play the game for the first time again
can definitely see this version being performed at the Game Awards before Larian's deserved success :) Thanks for your amazing work Borislav!
Its will be awesome
It's almost garenteed at this point.
Goty: bg3
I’d rather it be the Down by the river motif when you kill an enemy
Hey guess what they swept all the awards nominations they had today!
This game made me feel long forgotten feeling that I'd experienced when finished Dragon Age: Origins as a kid. Thank you, Larian!
I’m glad I’m not the only one lol love DAO and this game so much
I felt the EXACT same thing, the whole game reminded me a lot Dragon Age: Origins, which is one of my favorite games ever.
@@ZoglerRandomiel Especially the camp aspect
Had similar vibes too, shame that the rest of the series ended up being rubbish.
Same here DA:O I loved at 18 years old. RIP old Bioware. It's okay, we got Larian now.
I did beat the game 1 hour ago. When this was playing in the credits scene I can't help myself to cry. Thank you Larian for the precious experience and thank you Borislav for making the game memorable and touching with your ethereal music.
Damn me too. Never cried before when a game finished. The music just ended me.
@@annilator3000 a true masterpiece indeed
@@ladymaria5921 Hope Game Awards rewards to Larian and Borislav they really deserve it.
Where is your profile picture from?
@@ForeverTraitor Tomie from Junji Ito
I've played so many games throughout my life, 15+ years of it, completed every single quest of series such as Mass Effect, Dragon Age, The Witcher, Assassin's Creed, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Bioshock, Borderlands, Deus Ex, Halo, Metro, Half Life, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Horizon, Dead Space, DOOM and plenty others...
Dragon Age Origins managed to be a cathartic conclusion after all was said and done, and never thought I'd feel the same way again in a game...and then Baldur's Gate 3 got my eye...
A series I had no clue about prior to the third entry, neither did I paid attention to the early access either, and this game managed to beat DA:O in my books, I cried when I saw that ending...
I was blessed by having the best positive outcome possible, against all odds, on my first playthrough, this game left me speechless, what a beautiful journey, not only the game itself, but as a reminder that games like this are still loved by people, I had honestly lost hope.
Thank you Larian Studios, you've given me the best gaming experience of my life, I only wish I could go back and do it again for the first time.
If you haven't played it yet, give Divinity Original Sin 2 a try.
It's different on many aspects, but it shows the same kind of love.
The ending is something you can only experience once, truly.
Thank you brother in arms! There have not been such emotions since the days of DAO and the Mass Effect series. But if you want to experience something like this again, try Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous!
*This song makes me happy and sad at the same time. I feel different emotions listening to it. It's as if to say: ''It doesn't matter what bad things happened, the important thing is that it was an incredible and unforgettable journey.''* ❤
you say that, but the first time I heard it was after I got
the first bad ending.
you know the one.
"All is well that ends well"
@@shilohmagic7173I may have gotten one of the saddest endings possible, and when I heard it I didn’t cry because I was feeling sad and yet the song made me feel powerful, so there were too conflicting emotions for me to cry over any specific one
[Lyrics]
We'd pick our way, overhear more in changing
You into me and me into you
I meant to say that I love you or maybe
Fear like a flame, what's happening to me?
Firelight burning the tower
Hold tight don't fight the power
Firelight burning the tower
Hold tight, don't fight, don't fight, don't lose the power
I went away cause I missed you or maybe
You are not me and am I truly you?
Lantered with a star
Hard tide hammering where you are
Step slow as a fawn
Firelight burning the tower
Crowned light for the fall
I found you too soon
Shining star of mine hold tight
Don't fight the power
Moonlight burning the flower
Hold tight don't fight the power
Firelight burning the tower
Hold tight, don't fight, don't fight, don't lose the power
what is "?] lights for the [?]"?
Thank you for the attempt!
I think the first word on that line may be crown(ed) light
@@th0rne_999makes sense, "crowned light for the throne" is what I heard
@@Ithtorukk I also had such suggestions.
This game is literally about the friends we made along the way and I love every moment of it. A true masterpiece.
Broken people fixing each other ;-;
Or the friends we ate along the way, for Durge
I dunno if comments are still being read but, i remember finishing the game and all the characters and adventures i did with my first run-through and how happy i felt. Then as the credits rolled after talking to everyone in the epilogue and seeing the happy and warm ending i got; i remember hearing this song playing and thinking to myself, "this game is a masterpiece and i need to run through again! I might have missed so much" im on my 4th rin through now and have plans for a 5th with a whole slew of new choices to think about and the soundtrack to enjoy once more. Splendid game and splendid sound design
After hearing this song in the credits I immediately came here to find it. Baldur's Gate III has been one heck of an emotional journey, and I owe a lot of that to the music. Thank you Borislav and all of the performers for enhancing an already stellar experience with your beautiful music.
Just finished it today. 90h of pure fun. Just like The Witcher 3, a game of the decade for me that I will replay in the future for sure. Larian Studios please don't sell yourself to any big company and keep making games the way you do.
The CEO swenn said he doesn't intend to sell out as long as he's CEO. This studio could become the next Bungie/bioware except this time the good outcome.
@@mortagagedfreemen323 Here's to Larian having many many amazing years ahead of them! From the studio videos they recorded over the years, they seem like a genuinely great place to work at. Can't wait for their next game!
How TF did you finish in 90h?
@@DarkRubicant That's what my save file says so it doesn't count times when i reloaded a save
@@DarkRubicant My Steam acc is at 125h for a single playthrough
Borislav, this entire soundtrack is PHENOMENAL. Thank you so much!
Best Game of the year? No way dude ... this is the best game of the decade
eh.... debatable
Not even top 10 in the decade.
@@maskassmario321 I would actually see it in top 10 tbh
@@maskassmario321 I really want to know what you'd put in the top 10 if this game isn't even there for you.
WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE LOWER CITY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
This is so underrated 😂
Just finished the game and when the credits showed and this song pop up I cried a little .one of the best video games I have ever played 🙂
Charging into Avernus with this playing is the ultimate power trip.
This song hit different after finally clearing honour mode
Dang. Congrats. I don’t think I’ll ever try that. I can’t even do tactician. Takes too much planning 😂
Finished the game, what an amazing story and song.
I feel... empty. The 3 year wait from Early Access was well worth it, but I want MORE.
That’s what I hate about beating an absolutely amazing game, you realize that the story of your character is over.
FF14, Witcher 3, RDR2 were the same for me. Great stories, all.@@milessmith8868
The first thing I said to a friend of mine who was also playing, when I completed it for the first time... like ending a good book series, I both desperately want to go back to that world, but also feel like I need about 10 business days to process all of that
reroll and explore new stories :)
It's not the same the second time, sadly.@@AsoSnT
I have been observing Mr. Slavov's work for some time now, and some small thing always manages to surprise me. Baldurs gate is and undoubtedly would be a good game, but you Mr. Slavov have given it a soul that is almost palpable. Simply beautiful, thank you.
Everyone did a great job on BG3, but I really think the music is the crown jewel. The music on Divinity OS2 and BG3 has been on an entire different level from any other video game. The reactivity, the motifs, and the way it seems so incredibly pressing while perfectly slotting into the background behind whatever's happening.
Agreed 100%!
everything is the crown jewel honestly
This game was absolutely amazing. The epilogue party, followed by this song in the credits, has to be one of the best conclusions to a video game I've ever played.
I have a very severe mode of anxiety. I notice that I can use the instrumental versions of your music (specially The Power and I Want To Live) to meditate and to calm down until the storm goes away. And I want to thank you for that. I wish you all the best.
I literally sat in the credits contemplating my life after hearing this song and “i want to live” literally in pieces 😭❤️
This game is such a masterpiece. A true gem that will resonate throughout the gaming world for years to come.
The original version of this song already had a chilling melody, but when added with the intensity of the vocals and drums this gave me goosebumps
This song started playing in my head when Baldur's Gate 3 won Game of the Year. Well done!
WHAT A SPECTACULAR SEND OFF THIS WAS AFTER MY FIRST PLAYTHROUGH
Thank you for bringing it all together with your music ❤❤❤
The soundtrack has added so much to my enjoying the game. Thank you @Borislav Slavov! ♥
A solid minute of silence... a short slow cap in astonishment. Then minutes of ugly sobbing, relief but also a very sad goodbye to my party, and my main character.
Your story is over now, Tav, its been an honour.
Zhak vo'n fynh duj, source of my joy.
Wow! I'm all shivers! It was my pleasure to work on it with you and now hearing the last version you're surprising me even more... 🤌💕🍀🕊️🌹🥂💃
Thank you for making that
lovely voice. Many thanks for the awesome work.
You did an amazing job ✨💙 Thanks for the awesome music!
Great song and voice, thanks!
😂 can't find the lyrics. Wanna know further and deeper of this song.
Я даже в игру уже не играю. Загружаю её и слушаю гениальную музыку. Вот что называется мировое признание! Привет из Сибири!
Yesterday I finished my first playthrough, and I cried just listening to this song. It's been an amazing journey, a beautiful adventure that gifted me with so many emotions: happiness, surprise, sadness, love and caring for my companions, and so on and so forth. Thank you Larian, for this incredible experience, and thank you Borislav, for every single piece of music in the game. Baldur's Gate 3 will now live in my heart. Sorry if my English is bad!
🫂
Grande. Grazie per esserti espressa al posto mio in inglese... Già farei fatica a scrivere qualcosa in italiano con tutte le emozioni che mi ha regalato questo titolo e queste colonne sonore.
@@lucabiacchi154 Ci provo! Non sono una cima, ma mi sforzo quando posso. In questo caso ho cercato di esprimere una minima parte di quello che ho provato. Grazie mille comunque :)
Eh già... davvero una bella esperienza. (oltretutto lo sto per finire una terza volta 😇) @@Giulia.92
Words can not describe, what i feel for this game and this soundtrack
i keep replaying the game, i can't say goodbye to it.
First time I cried while the credits where playing... what a treasure and experience this game and soundtrack. Thank you, dear Borislav. Much love from Croatia
I can't wait to only hear this song on UA-cam because I'll never actually finish the game, just keep making a new character every 20 hours
Why? Have you lost your mind friend?
why? the game has so much to offer, just go for it!
I can relate, I have 100+ hours but I'm still in act 1 because I'm pretty sure I made 10 different characters
you think you can run from ceremorphosis .
I swear to god this fucking song, after the final cutscene. The mood, the tone, the melody.. it was the final wink. That's when the game staright up seals the deal and you realize that you will never experience anything like BG3 for the first time ever again.
Just finished the game and i cant stop crying it was a wonderful journey. Respect for everyone for making this game. All companions will live on my heart and my d&d games...
Since the release day this song starts and ending my day. I just can't stop to listen to it. The month has been tough. Don't know how would I get through it without this song and the whole album. Thank you, Borislav, and everybody who worked with you, from the bottom of my heart.
Hearing this now after the new Epilogue makes this track 100x better!
I just finished the first playthrough, the ending song was truly fantastic! It even brought tears to my eyes as I listened.
Its been a long time since a game made me feel this way. Sitting quietly as the credits roll. From playing 350 hours in early access I was already invested and in love with the music but this song really just draws the whole game together. Such a beautiful song, for a fantastic game, I cant imagine the game without any of the music in it.
This song took me back 25 years to beating Super Mario RPG. That’s the last time a game made me feel that satisfaction. And the music in the world is a big part of it.
I just beat the game, and I’m sad my red dragon born Frank’s adventure ends here. I’m gonna miss seeing that scaly face with the blue eyes.
On the other hand, now I can start my dark urge playthrough.
This game was awesome. I’m glad it took me 5 months. Money well spent
Last game that make me so emotional is Mass effect, Thanks you so much!
fr. Mass Effect series, Witcher 3, BG3, Cyberpunk, RDR2. pantheon of greatness in the past 15 years.
finished the game on honor mode, took me 200 hours of failing, this song claps even harder now.
Hearing this masterpiece at the ending of the my first run of the game remembered me the best moments I've experienced it through this incredible journey that BG3 is. Thank you so much!
I was not ready to part with my companions. And now I'm just...empty and crying to this song
9 days of the best adventure of my life.
WE'RE STORMING AVERNUS WITH THIS ONE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🪓🪓⚔⚔
It's 20 years since BG2 was released.
Never thought a part 3 could be released, never ever. I mean... The story ended, was a closed ending, the farewell to the Child of Gorion saga.
And oh boy, what a third part, what a ride. Thank you Larian for make me feel like a child again, but with a body and mind to truly apreciate the effort and the passion poured into this game.
Baldur's Gate was my childhood saga, but now is my wholelife saga.
i have just beaten honor mode.
listening to this now feels like... true victory
The entire score of BG3 was insane. Loved all of it!
Bg3 is the greatest game i have ever played. Everything about this game is gold including the soundtrack. What a gem!!
It's crazy how unique each character's themes are yet how much they have in common with the base Down by The River. Gale's a deep and mournful yearn for a love to be reciprocated. Asatrion's the want to be free. Karlach's a desperate plea to enjoy and love every second of the life she has left.
This game and its music are surreal. The only short way to express the way I feel about them was already said by Astarion:
"This is a gift you know. I won't forget it."
I still listen to this daily
This song makes me cry anytime i hear it now. Such a powerful song for such a powerful game. Thanks so much for your amazing and passionate work Mr Slavov!
I didn't think "The Power" could get even more amazing! I know I'll listen to this long after I've stopped playing the game. Good luck on The Game Awards this year ;) And most of all- благодаря, Боби :)
This game made me feel so much emotion. I wish I could play this game for the first time again. Larian did a damn good job making this
I just finish the game. That ending was something else. This song played when the credit rolled. Thank you!
What makes great this song is that B-flat in the verses
The music is the soul of this game. You are a master, sir. My hat is off to you.
I want a Baldurs gate 3 expansion just for the potential of a new soundtrack
Thank you for such an incredible and emotional experience. I will never forget Baldur's Gate 3.
I beat the game about a week ago and I'm still fully captivated and in awe of how musicians are able to capture such profound feeling and emotion in song. This song hits a deep part of me that i didnt know was there.
The only other time I’ve felt this feeling was at the end of Final Fantasy 14: Endwalker.
Some musicians just fundamentally understand emotion, heroic sacrifice, pain, loss, and triumph and can weave them into a collection of notes that stirs the very essence of your being.
My favorite song in the soundtrack is the instrumental version of the power you hear in character creation. I adore how each playthrough will always be bookended by this song. First is starts off as a wordless memory, just a hum that has yet to really take shape. Then, after 100 or so hours, it comes full circle and you get this. But now with full orchestra, modern instruments, and full lyrics that could never possibly encompass everything you've just experienced, but still somehow finds a way. And then. Peace again. Just a simple instrumental fading away just the same as it once started.
I haven't finished the game yet, but boy does this sound like the credits song.
I really need to find time to finish my playthrough.
If I ever end up with dementia, play this song for me. Dead serious. This song has carved out a very special place in my heart that I don't think could ever be taken from me.
“Man, look how powerful the squid powers are! Wouldn’t it be awesome if you became a squid, bestie? 😅”

Just finished the game, dammn it's truly a Masterpiece.
(In the new year, Vincke recalls coming back into the office and telling his team: "You know, we're not going to do it. We're going to [start] doing these other things that we talked about, that we planned on doing before we started on BG3 … let's just have closure on BG3, it's been great. We've done our job. It's a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end."
Contrary to his fears, Vincke then recalls a feeling of "elation" in the studio. "I thought they were going to be angry at me because I just couldn't muster the energy," he says, but that he "saw so many elated faces, which I didn't expect, and I could tell they shared the same feelings, so we were all aligned with one another. And I've had so many developers come to me after and say, 'Thank god'.")
Sad but damn what bosses Larian is. They made the right decision.
I just hope whatever they work on next is as equally good or even better. DnD is big enough as an IP that it doesn't require Larian to be forced to do things they can't or don't want to do. I liked Divinity 2 and BG3 was leagues better.
This game is pure passion and I loved every second of it. This song is the crowning jewel of the best game I've probably ever played and likely will be that way for a long time. It's one of the few that stood out for a LONG time and I am so glad Larian allowed us that experience.
People play the entire game just so they can hear this song at the end.
My main character ended the game dead, watching as their beloved leaves to pursue their own destiny, and this song played…. “I want to live.”
It had already been so tragic, so emotional, and this song brought me to tears.
Incredible.
We made it. We won. We saved Baldur's Gate, the Coast, maybe all of Faerûn. We lost some good people along the way, but we didn't look back. We knew that they wouldnn't have wanted for us to dwell on the past with our newfound lives and freedom laying ahead of us.
I did the exact opposite, but felt all the same... this game is epic. Now i wait to forget all details so I can play it again😂
How do you make your main character die at the end? I’m planning to do that for rp reasons on my next run
@@marconox4085 there's only one way i know of off the top of my headunless the game canonises it if you die during the final boss fight in gameplay, there's only one way i know of off the top of my head (spoilers, obviously)
by becoming a mind flayer to destroy the netherbrain, then choosing to die rather than live as a mind flayer
To the hope of more adventures to come! To Baldur’s Gate! 🍻🥂
How much emotion can be expressed with music? Borislav: Hold my beer!
Simply outstanding!
Wanna cry, truly masterpiece
Hearing this almost brings me to tears i finished honor mode last night and this song just made everything so much more emotional
just finished honor mode as well, it was so much fun
86 hours not including reloads to finish the game did as much as i could figure out, when this song played at the end it hit hard af what a great game.
86 hours is actually a lot of missed content. A complitionist walkthrough takes 200-220 hours Larian said. I just started act 2 with 55 hours btw.
GOTY?
@@surname1300Fecking better! Lol
@@surname1300 game of the decade
98 hours for me, other than some bugs in act 3 and the ending itself the game is excellent. Can't wait to replay it when the fixed things.
The way the voice and softer melody melt into the guitar riffs is pure ecstasy!
such a beautiful song!! all the variations of this song will forever have such an esteemed place in my heart!
Great song for great game created great peoples! Love you Larian Studios!
"and thus, fate spins along as it should."
Best soundtrack and best game ever , congrats 🎉
After the ending I got, and the satisfaction of it. This song kicked in, and I reflected on the Journey, the friends we made (mostly killed) and the places we explored. What a journey and I can’t wait to do it again.
"Look guys, I failed 5 persuasion checks in a row, I had no choice but to punt her into the shadow realm!"
There's no way you found the ending satisfying. Nothing happened. It's missing the "epilogue" where it shows what consequences your actions and choices had. Just a few cutscenes on a dock and then it goes to the title screen...
@@Fwosto To my understanding, and annoyingly, there's extra cut scenes if you play the origin characters.
@@FwostoPlaying Dark Urge, everything connects in the ending and act 3.
@@Techstriker1 Annoying? Sure, but it's also an easier variable for them to control since it's stories they've written. Being a bit more ambiguous with the ending is fine since it can fit with however anyone wants to RP their own character.
This game was a masterpiece all of it and I have never been more upset a game has been over since the Mass Effect trilogy was over, well done Larian Studios on the creation of this game it will definitely go down as one of the greatest, I'm looking forward to your next projects.
Hopefully ME4 can recapture that feeling all over again for you! When it eventually releases XD
And you can always go back with a new character, new class, and new story
@@orvixvaxis724man that would be a dream come true one can hope fingers crossed XD, man anytime I replay it I'm always in tears once I get to ME3 because I know it's all coming to an end again =(
“In my name”
Congratulations Bobby!
It was about damn time you got the award you deserve!
you might not know that the lead vocal uploaded the song with lyrics on her channel. if you really want to know the lyrics properly, go there.
I finally finished my first playthrough 2 hours ago and this song has been playing in my mind since. I don't think I'll ever experience the same rollercoaster of emotions from other games like what Baldur's gate 3 did. This game, along with the beautiful moving songs made by YOU, made the whole trip a transdimensional experience. Thank you Borislav, and Larian Studios. I'll be making my second playthrough now to experience it one more time.
Recruiting everyone in my first playthrough (yes i got Minthara and Halsin both in a good playthrough) made for a very amazing experience. It's a shame i cannot play this game again like it's my first time
Its my first time playing right now and im trying to do every little thing i spot but i cant wait for round 2
