- Hey all! Last song in the Fantasy Song's Playlist for 2022, This song is a personal favorite (The same song by Mercedes Lackey published back in 1995*) that I always wanted to hear a male version of, so I went and made my own! This video is also the first to use never-before-seen art! All the images used were AI Generated using Midjourney:
www.midjourney...
We'll see what people think about using AI-generated art for these videos. it does make copyright from image use a significantly less likely, and makes the videos more unique, but I'll host a poll to see what the community thinks!
I hope you all enjoy!
Lyrics:
The stars are very beautiful above the palace walls
They shine with equal splendor still above far humbler halls
I watch them from my window but their bright entrancing glow
Reminds me of the freedoms that I gave up long ago
The royal crown of bright gold rests lightly upon my brow
I once thought only of the rights this circlet would endow
But once I took the crown to which I had been schooled and led
I found it heavy on the heart though light upon the head
Although I am the head of state in truth I am the least
The true king knows his people fed before he sits to feast
The good king knows his people safe before he takes his rest
Thinks twice and thrice and yet again before he makes request
For they are all my children all that I swore to defend
It is my duty to become both King and trusted friend-
And of my children high and low from beggar to above
The bravest are my Heralds who do far more than enough
The bravest are my Heralds swift to spring to my command
Who give me aid and fellowship who always understand
That land and people first have needs that I may not deny-
So I must send my dearest friends to danger-and to die
A friend, a love, a child, it matters not. I know indeed
That I must sacrifice them all if there should be the need
They know and they forgive me-doing more than I require
With willing minds and loving hearts to go tograsp the fire
These tears that burn my eyes are all the tears the King can't shed
The tears I weep in silence as I mourn my Heralds dead
O Gods that dwell beyond the stars if you can hear my cry,
And if you have compassion: Let me send no more to die!
If you're more curious about the song I recommend checking out the fandom page which talks about the entire fantasy world the song is set in. There are also another 8 albums other than the one this is from full of music that, if there're requests, I'll look at trying to do as well:

![Where All The Roads Have Ended (Remastered) [English & German] - Alderon Tyran](/img/n.gif)
Last Fantasy Song of 2022! This song has taken quite a bit longer than expected to produce due to multiple re-recordings, and surprising difficulty in finding images, which led me to look at AI generated images. This video is therefore the first one taking advantage of the Discord-based Midjourney Image Generator:
www.midjourney.com/
I hope the images look good, as Midjourney would allow me to finally move away from searching the Googles for images for many hours (or even days), but if the community sees the images as "too uncanny" or otherwise not a good direction to go in, I'll refrain from using it going forward.
As always, I am very thankful for my Patreon supporters and if you want to contribute to keeping this channel going, please consider joining here:

Not bad, much much better than the other male cover of this song.
Have you considered doing any of the Boer songs? I am a Boer who really likes your American stuff, especially Shanty Boys(the updated one).
I know this guy
Mark 9:35 (KJV) And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.
A beautiful reminder of the responsibilities of a good kaiser.
Ahhhh!!! I was looking for a male version of this song! You did a masterful job! Is your song available for purchase anywhere, and also, would you allow it to be used in AMVS with credit?
You are free to use my music in AMVs with credit for certain, I sadly don't have anywhere where I sell the audio yet, although I'm working to set up access to download the mp3s based on a Patreon Subscription level (still work in progress there).
@@alderontyran Thank you very much!
The female version is still way better
@@circa902as a man I prefer this
@@TruekingoftheLeinstermen 👍
Another series of books that I read over the years. I just found your channel, and I want to say thank you. Good memories abound.
Can you do fire in the sky? Its a rocket song and very triumphant
It's actually in production funny enough, I was considering saving it for Starship's Launch...
@@alderontyran I can't wait!
Now this was a true surprise, haven't listened to this song in a long time. Art looks great too.
This is so seriously underrated. Perhaps you might consider doing some Dreadnoughts songs?
Man, this AI art stuff is crazy cool. The visuals are great.
Didn't expect this cover but really glad to see it my guy
King mindset ✝️🛐👑
Reminds me of queen charlianne of chesholm in safehold
Remember King Haarahld! The walls of Charis are the wooden hulls of her fleet.
@@kevint1929 Holy Langhorn and no quarter!
@kevint1929 Was going to say this. Reminds me of the last stand during the last galley action.
@@jonusmanson I'm so glad there are other safehold fans out there. I wish David weber would show us how merlin ultimately defeats the gbabba
@@isaacshultz8128 I don't know if he can, any time soon, and, to me, it doesn't feel right to have a book take place 1000+ years in the future, after humanity has the populous and tech and manufactory levels high enough to accomplish that. I dont know if there are any books after the one after the war and big Jim Bob inquisitors finale.
amazing performance
Excellent version.
Good King Sendar would appreciate this version.
I found this version then days latter found the whole trilogy at a thrift store.
Edit upon reading the first 2: Damn these are good.
Holup
TRILOGY?
There's much more than a trilogy. 😂 Mercedes Lackey has written many books in the Valdemar / Velgarth setting.
If you want one's specifically about this Queen I would suggest Exile's Honor/Valor Dualogy and the Arrows of the queen trilogy. But any of the Valdemar books are amazing.
@azurastar3223 yup those are the ones I am talking about. Arrows of the Queen anyway. Lackley is pretty good and I think I've read some of her other stuff before this.
Could you do катюша in English?
I don't know how easy it would be to smoothly translate Russian into English
I feel with a bit of reverb and possibly a better microphone or audio editing, the male version would be as impactful as the original... I liked it... but it could be a lot better
Wow! Wasn't expecting a male singer.
this song fits so good to Rex lapis!
The vocals are nice, the art theft machine use significantly less so.
communism
No
No lad may god restore the kings to my land
opposite, actually
