LYRICS:
A noble sailed across the sea
To search a distant land
A new frontier before him
To provide an upperhand
Mysterious agendas
Lay behind a graceful guise
A son was born, begotten, shorn
Betrayed to noble lies
I take to the water
To glide upon the gales
The winds that my father rode
Will never fill my sails
The sailors on the salty sea
My brothers I will lead
Our cannons fast they burn and blast
Our blood is of the Creed
A father lost to hunger
The temptation of control
No sentiment you represent
Can tame my savage soul
I take to the water
To glide upon the gales
The winds that my father rode
Will never fill my sails
You're going to war...
Musket guns and silver slivers
Justice runs in crimson rivers
Words of ancient truth we follow
Bleed these veins into tomorrow
I take to the water
To glide upon the gales
The winds that my father rode
Will never fill my sails
Yes, it's a Mohawk chant named 'Rabbit Dance'. I found a very old recording of some Native American men singing it and did my best to re-create it with my own voice as respectfully as I could :)
I did not want it to sound hokey or like cheesy, new age easy listening music, as I find tends to happen often when people absorb ethic sounds into their music. I wanted it to feel a bit more raw & tribal, like the original :)
Didn't know lol
@miracleofsound Thanks. I’m from the Lakota tribe in the Black Hills of South Dakota. So the Desmond saga is more special to me than just me being a fan so thanks for the song. Love ya.💙💜
Did not know that! Makes it so much cooler! :D
Connor has got the balls to run at an army alone. Then, kill their general. That's textbook Badass.
It's easy to be badass behind plot armour...
@@TheIfifi Oh shut up it’s a video game
@@shanedawndusk3290 oh right, forgot that meant the story was beyond criticism.
@@TheIfifi No it means you shouldn’t waste your time criticizing a piece of software
@@shanedawndusk3290 Okay? I happen to care about suspension of disbelief and this kinda ruined it for me.
Altair took down 3-4 guys to get to his target.
This dude fights a batallion...
I mean. The rebels may as well go home and leave connor to win the war.
Connor: "Justice runs in crimson rivers."
Arno: "Justice est une riviére rouge."
Two songs can't be wrong. Haha
All his AC songs have that particular line in them.
+TheSkipRow Gaming True
Edward: "Justice runs in crimson rivers"
Bayek: The Nile runs red tonight!
It's meant to represent all the various cultures trying to find some synergy and establish a relationship and what that in turn represents to Connor :)
I'm rather surprised that no one else seems to have found this.
Oh
I have to say, this was some of Gavin's strongest lyrical work.
Mysterious agendas
Lay behind a graceful guise
A son was born, begotten, shorn
Betrayed to noble lies
A father lost to hunger
The temptation of control
No sentiment you represent
Can tame my savage soul
+Jennifer Alt I think Forever Blue and Calamity's lyrics are much better.
+SharkTurd11 Those are quite good, too. My absolute favorite song, lyrically, is Shadows in the Moonlight.
We all have favorites I guess.
+Jennifer Alt //Haytham wasn't lost to hunger.
"The winds that my father broke will never fill my sails"
There, now you can't unhear it.
Goddamit...
So, what does he really say?
EDIT: Oh, right. It's "rode".
But the winds my grandfather rode shall will guide my ways
Just my opinion, but I believe that Connor is the exact definition of what a true Assassin should be.
+afterburner7847 same...
+afterburner7847 personnally i liked AC 3
+Ethan Mcguire Yeah, Connor's storry was pretty sad and he was a really good guy. I guess good guys really do finish last.
+afterburner7847 Me too! Connor is one of my favorite Assassins
true
You know, I've heard Assassin's Creed III was not the most popular of the series but honestly, I've been playing it myself and, aside from Ezio I think Conner's the best character so far -granted I'm writing this before I've had the chance to play Black Flag or the other spin-offs, but Conner is a fascinating character. He's the only Native American to ever become an Assassin, his motive for pursuing the Templars, although basic, turned out later to be misguided, and that the very cause he was fighting for had been the thing that destroyed his home and killed his mother.
By that time, he's become a man with nothing more to lose. I think that makes him more dangerous than any other assassin, because now all he has left is the Brotherhood, and the new life he builds around himself.
The Phoenix Quill finally someone understandsssss
The Phoenix Quill FINALLY! I felt like the only one who ever liked Connor.
Becuse they don't , they think Connor is boring. Listen, I liked Ezio too , but that doesn't mean that every character needs to be like him. Look at Connor, Edward and Altair , they are different from eachother and still great characters. Meanwhile Arno is like Ezio 2.0.
dats true, actually u dont hate connor so much, i just find him a little boring and most of the time he was like
"Wheres charles lee?"
"Wheres chaes lee??"
"Wheres charles lee??!"
"Wheres charles lee??!!"
"WHERES CHARLES LEE??!!"
"WHERE DAFUQ IS CHARLES LEE???!!!"
And u find dat annoying, but i luv his suit tho, and his combat too. welp i hav to say ezio has bad fist punching skills compared to connor, but prefer ed kenway
his story is by far the best but he lacks personality
Finally a song that represents what AC3 truly is: Haytham and Connor's relationship. Thanks for staying true to the game's spirit, Gav!
Connor is a good man
Lucky Chanel the father or the grandfather
Mr Elbows Connor is a good man, but Haythan not, Edward is a mother****** but he's cool
Haythan is still my favourit Kenway. He wasn't an a-hole, but was reasonable.
I personally liked Haytham more than Connor but that's only because Templars are usually skilled to make themselves and their cause look good. Ugh.
+Yolo Frog for the order screw the creed
That's high praise right there. Rock on, friend! \m/
I think the most impressive part of your music is how consistent you are with the quality you put in your songs. You do every game you write on a BIG favor in my eyes. You're very talented, never stop doing what you do.
Thank you for making my life better for being able to listen to your music!
Don't know why but this song makes me cry everytime I hear it
the winds my father broke will never fill my sails...
that's what i heard once as i was drunk and listening to this
SuperGodlike101 I heard that and wasn't drunk
Connor may have had his father's skills but his spirit and personality were more inline with his mother.
And looks he looks way more like her and sounds like her looks or sounds nothing like haytham.
somethings will never change,the game was awesome,THIS will NEVER CHANGE
+BeingAwesome IsAwesome A very unpopular opinion but I agree, AC3 was awesome
I agree. everyone focuses on what was wrong with the game, but it had a lot of good aspects to it that some people are ignorant of.
daniel hawkins agreed
Oh boy, here I go downloading AC 3 again.
The verses are chronological to the game, that one is to signify Connor going to war, as foreshadowed by the 4 'You're going to war' lines before it.
AC III is an amazing game... love to play it and the story is great!
I did like the story of AC III, but the main character (Connor) well i really didn't like him at all, way too boring imo :P Oh well, i haven't played AC4 yet so, looking forward to see what Kenway is able to bring to the table :-)
***** But both Connor, Haytham AND Edward are Kenways!
***** Oh yeah, i guess that didn't cross my mind xD
*****
In all of AC series i liked Haytham and Edward the best because i can relate to those characters,i didn't find Connor interesting,Ezio was kind of cool and Altair was badass
"Musket guns and silver slivers, justice runs in crimson rivers, words of ancient truth we follow, bleed these veins into tomorrow" is one of my favorite line in many of his songs for AssassinsCreed
This, amazing master piece, would have to be my favourite song of yours, Gavin. :)
I've listened to this about ten times now and it and it still hasn't gotten old!
Happy birthday Conner!
The song is a beautiful tribute, (and one of my absolute favourites [as much as one can have a favourite MOS song because Gavin just keeps coming out with more awesome])!
It's so nice to listen to a music producer who has such a varied amount of music and isn't afraid to mix it up or try out new mechanics to the song :)
Hah! Funnily enough, I was actually very wary of being disrespectful so I did quite a bit of research into NA music to make sure I did it right :) The chant is a Mohawk one named the Rabbit dance, I listened to an old tape of some elderly Native American men singing it and did my best to imitate it :)
Yea you are right 😊
thank you :) It is fun to try new things, keeps it fresh for me!
This is definitely one of my favorite songs from you, I love how this song has two parts/melodies. One for Haytham and one for Connor, and in the end they mix together. Simply beautiful. ;__;
+Judit Ginzboorg I agree totally. I'd have said the same thing only you already said it!!
How do you always manage to wriggle in 'Justice Runs in Crimson Rivers' into every one of your songs? Is it like your catchphrase? Because it's a good one.
It's in all his Assassins Creed songs specifically
I love your combination of the Native American chants and Sea Shanties. It's truly amazing! I don't think there's a song that I've disliked so far.
I was just thinking this could also be considered a tribute to Edward Kenway -- the line "The winds that my father rode will never fill my sails" in particular makes me think of him. Of course, Edward Kenway is one of my favorite characters, so that makes me happy.
+Kyram But there wasen't any refrence to Edward's father in the game though..... But he's still awesome. Also AC IV have one the best ending that no other game have came close yet.
+Steven Zhao What I meant is that Edward is Haytham's father, and Haytham appears when that line is being sung.
It could be a reference to both...the winds that Connor's father (Haytham) rode (Templars) will never fill his sails...the winds that Haytham's father (Edward) rode (Assassins) will never fill HIS sails....
Or that Haytham sailed from England, and Connor is not likely to ever go to England.
I think i could listen to a video of him doing only the Mohawk chant.... It was really good.....
connor had such a sad story, but he never lost hope. Even though it's a ac characters, it's really inspiring. he was the best assassin, even beats Edward.
Hear, hear!
I Agree 100%
His fate breaks my heart every time.
Lol
Hear, hear brother.
Assassin's Creed 3 an epic game with an epic story 3
The links are in the description :) Thanks for the support!
I like the line about haytham falling for the temptation of control. I hadnt thought of it that way. He was my favourite in AC 3
Big fan of this one, really like the large amount of diversity in vocals and tone. Love it.
Yes, it's a Mohawk chant named Rabbit Dance. I did my best to make it authentic and respectful and sing it the way they would have :)
Almost 9 years on, this is still a banger
Agreed
AC3 was good. Not great, but good. I liked how Haytham wasn't just a typical villain like the other Templars but a nice guy who seemed to have the best intentions at heart. I liked that scene at the end when you finally kill the Templar responsible for destroying your home, there was something about the stillness of the scene that grabbed me. And I liked how the game didn't go down the route of "fuck the British, 'Murica FTW!" That bit at the end when Connor sees patriots celebrating their freedom across the street from a slave auction was quite powerful to me.
All in all, if Connor was a likable character then I would likely have enjoyed the game much more.
it was George Washington that burned down Connor's village not the Templar.
See? Doesn't go down the annoyingly overly-patriotic route.
Bainbow AC usually manages to remain "neutral" (obviously the character is on a side...). However, it's mostly developed in Montreal, so why would there be American patriotism?
Ruxandra TheEmpress Because I expect good storytelling from Ubisoft Montreal and blind patriotism is dumb. That's why I'm glad that they showed both sides of the revolution and didn't take a side, that was the smart thing to do.
Bainbow Yeah, I agree, but you were talking as if you expected blind patriotism and it would be very out of character for them.
Finally. I've been defending Connor on numerous videos as well, thanks for standing side by side with me and the few others that give a damn.
hello feels, we meet again
it is awesome just like how the song makes it seem just you have to go through training on everything .
Sorry Ezio fans, but the Kenway saga was the my favourite part of the AC series.
but he is a kenway tho
AcII
Ac4
AcBrotherhood
No contest.
So true
My favorites are
1. 3
2.4
3.Revelations
Gav, you are one of the very few artists out there with passion that truly shows in there songs
Am I the only one who actually liked Connor?
So, there are two of us?
Three!
Three it is then.
No
Jonathan Landman I mean I liked Connor too
I'm from Germany and you make the best gamemusic, I've ever heard. Only the soundtracks of the game are as well as your music. Thank you
Assassins Creed 3 is definitely the best
Man I remember listening to this in 5 grade:( I wish time didn't have to fly so fast
war,war never gaines
Truer words have never been said.
As soon as I read the title I knew this was gonna be amazing. And it didn't disappoint.
"No sentiment you represent can tame my savage soul" I feel like this everyday, is that bad?
Dylan White Sure
I am a writer and I just can not write without music. For this and when I discovered your music (accidentally of course, but the best things are always random) reborn. I do not remember now how many hundred times I've listened to your songs and how many things I wrote during this time, but thank you Gavin.Pravish great music and every song (however impossible it seems) is better than the last."His Father's Son" is proof of that.Keep still.
Greetings from Bulgaria.
It sounds simply great - like a song of native Americans. I just love it
This was my mental bleach for anything going wrong in my life. I think for five years after I had first heard this. If I ever had horrible thoughts or couldn’t stop my paranoia, I’d just think of that, “Rabbit Dance,” would play in my mind making my head clear once again. Of course, then I’d think of the rest of this song, which would then lead to singing.
Thank you for the happy memories!
0:14 savage
Ain't that the truth. I'm very lucky that I get a comparatively minimal amount of dumb comments on my vids compared to all the great, fun and smart ones. You guys rock!
Hey Gav, just out of curiosity, have you heard from any Mohawk folks about this song? Or did you talk to any during the making of it?
I spoke to a couple of native American buddies but none from the Mohawk tribe in particular. However the chant is directly taken from a Mohawk chant named 'Rabbit Dance' which i did my best to replicate respectfully :)
miracleofsound I'm not Native at all, so my opinion doesn't mean anything on this subject.
Around the time you released this song, I'd been watching some Native-produced movies*. So when I heard the chant in this song it kind of blew me away, because you sounded /exactly/ like the chants I'd heard in those movies.
I think that if it were possible for a white person to respectfully reproduce one of those chants, that you pulled it off. Bravo.
*Smoke Signals and Powwow Highway, and a documentary called Reel Injun about the history of Native folks in movies. The part where the Navajo actors are swearing at the American actors in old Westerns was awesome. I recommend all of these films if you can find them.
Daniel Hettinger I agree, and I like to think I've taken some time to educate myself, if only on an informal basis. I try to educate others when it seems appropriate, while maintaining awareness of the limits of my knowledge and of who I'm talking to.

+ElfInflicted Ummmm top TH-cam comment that dosen't involve a flame war? What has happened to this world XD
When the "Musket guns and silvers slivers" part popped up, I immediactly started singing and smiling! You are awesome man!!
Since everyone's declaring their alliances to the characters... My thoughts:
Altaïr: Arrogant and foolish in the beginning, the wisest of the Order ever after that. My fave after Ezio.
Ezio: Grew up from a boy into a deadly, wise Master Assassin. All that killing and hardship, and still could love.
Haytham: Asshole. Hate him. People just have some kind of a modern sickness of liking those who'd be bad for them; I've seen this happen mostly with anime fangirls. (Haytham would *enslave* you. Remember that.)
Connor: True, naïve. But good intentions, and wisdom keeps growing. Also I *enormously* respect him for his quote: (Yet you fight. You persist. Why?) "*Because no one else will!*"
Edward: Hate/despise/pity him until he starts regretting everything. Once he settles, he's good.
Haven't played Liberation yet, nor read about Nicholai.
Haytham wasn't an asshole. He was wise, honest and respectable. He had good intentions at heart, and had an effective way of getting things done.
He wasn't even the bad guy either. He was a great portrayal of how the Templars aren't the bad guys (unlike what the Ezio trilogy would have you believe), and how it's not so black and white between the Assassins ad the Templars.
Tekanova
EVERYONE has good intentions at heart - no one thinks of themselves as the bad guy, do they - , but that doesn't make things right, does it?
I don't unfortunately see any point in continuing a debate between us, for you ignore clear facts (enslavement, first and foremost).
I wish wisdom upon you.
Tekanova
I`m completely your opinion about Haytham, but I think in the Ezio-Triologie the worst enemy is Cesare Borgia, who is no Templar. He even killed Rodrigo, who was the leader of the Templars at this time.
Tekanova
Hitler thought what he was doing was right also...just saying.
Overlord0011
Exactly. Thank you.
It's heart warming to find things like this.
you should make a loop of you doing the mohawk chant :D
Awesome music and video. Can't get enough of this.
Smosh- How many fools can I kill today? too many to count. Don't get in my way. Shoot a mofo in the throat with my bow...
MoS(Auditory gold) A father lost to hunger, the temptation of control. No sentiment you represent can tame my savage soul...
(AC 4)
Smosh- A pirate's life for me. Murderin' fools for free...
MoS- Defy the odds against us . A pirate knows no fear. Our steel is ready and our retribution is severe ...
There is an approximate 1/20,000 subscriber ratio. Although this meme is overused and a tiresome cliche, I don't want to live on this planet anymore. As a songwriter, I can assure that much less effort goes into writing songs like that than something with good lyrics. THe worst part is, Smosh hasn't been funny since 2008
Side Note: NOBODY GIVES A FLYING TOMAHAWK WHO YOUR FAVORITE ASSASSIN IS!!
+Jennifer Alt Smosh is cool
theirishman wwe Yeet they were cool in like 2007 lol.
+josh joshon SO I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK
I guess it's because Smosh is a comedy channel, not a serious gaming music channel. Even with that though, we can all agree Miracle of Sound is better and should have more subscribers.
Dude. Smosh is humor, Miracle of Sound is purely music. Of course Smosh is going to have silly lyrics. It's like comparing Saints Row to GTA and criticizing Saints Row for not being serious enough. It's a stupid argument.
I listen to it during school. And every other time of the day.
Who thinks that Haytham is their favourite Assassin?
Haytham is the best. I love Haytham!! my second fave is Edward and then Connor!!
Hathin is a templar
Sam Marcantel I know, but I like to say "assassin"
CutieFoxCake k
But it goes upon the lore. haytham was an templar, and died a templar.
Jacob, Arno, Edward...
Haytham deserves his own game
why dont you have 1 mill?????
+Landon Luis
Sherlock here!
He isn't famous enough.
THEN WE MAKE HIM FAMOUS!
So glad you're back to making music, Gav. Hope you're feeling better and not pushing yourself too hard.
HEIOOOOOOOOOOOH YOO AUEEEAAA HOAUEHAA HUEHEUHUEHUEHUE HU3HU3HU3 BRBR
R- R- R- RRRRRRAAAAAAACIIIIIIIST!!!!!
nicholas hurtado Why?hahaha
LeoGuitarize Reasons . . . Because reasons.
nicholas hurtado The zoeira has been planted
Arrgh your not-'Murican laungages anger me!
Sir, so long as you continue to create the rock, we shall rock to it.
Nope assassins creed 3 was one of their worst in the series it had plenty of problems with it. Luckily they fixed many of these problems in Black flag
Three was my favorite. But Ubisoft is straying from what assassin's creed is all about. It seems that you now play as random people who know parkour instead of an actual assassin like Ezio or Altair.
kind of my point, however AC4 was amazing
Preston Whitlock If it was the worst, why was it the most sold games in the franchise?
Goose bumps! That was so strong and beautiful. A stormfull comeback!
I wish Haytham would have been the main character of AC III.
B-But I would have known the full storyline before it even came out! Edward, we know nothing about except that he dies when Haytham is aged ten due to a Templar attack on their home.
+Random9001 If you read the Book Forsaken you know much about Haythams life
haytham saved connor life ...
NO I want my own game
One word: L-O-V-E !!!!! And especially that "Youre going to war"... My gosh, ive got chills atm man!
Fantastic mix of 2 genre that i never thought would work, glad you proved me wrong
The first time I listened to it I liked it, as usual with your songs, Gavin, but just that... but a week later I can't stop listening to it. You do this every song.
Gavin thank you so much for continuing to make such amazing music! I'll admit that Blood of the Creed took some time to grow on me but once it did I loved it! And this is 10x better! I especially like that you put in my favorite verse from Blood of the Creed.
This is why we love you, Gavin.
Guys, you'r just definition of awesomness.
I made a playlist just for this song, the autoplay option is on, and this song is good enough to justify it.
go on american idol your awesome i have been watching you for a long time and your amazing.
Such a wonderful song... My fav!!!
Still think this is the best Assassin's Creed Song you did - Not that the others are bad, especially Ezio and Arno are amazing but this, man this is the real deal!
Something tells me it's because this is one of the few refuges for people who like kickass music and don't come on here simply to start arguments.
This is more... This is a blessing from the gods!!
Man, I can hardly think of a more appropriate for a band ever: Miracle of Sound, indeed!
This song gives me chills. I love it. Please keep up the good work.
I loved the call backs to 'Blood of the creed'. Gav your songs just keep getting better!
It doesn't sound cheesy, it sounds very much at home with the rest of it. Sounds amazing, its the part of the song where i lose my self again in the world, amazing song. Thanks!
this sir , deserve my respect . i really love this and your other song , you truly deserve to be more known worldwide .
From France with respect and admiration
Antoine FRANCOIS
i totally agree my friend! connor will allways be the ultimate assassin!
Yet another Miracle of Sound song to add to the Favorites list!
This song was actually made on my birthday, i'm happy it's this song
Amazing song, one of my favorites yet.
I've listened to this song about 15 times since Thursday. It's awesome, keep up the good work.
I loved the inclusion of "Musket guns and silver slivers" form Blood of the Creed. Keep up the excellent work, good sir!
Still one of my favortite songs
That chorus is really haunting. Great stuff.
people don't cut this guy enough slack.
One of my miracle of sound favorites.
right up there with Braking Down The Borders, Blood of the Creed, and Sovngarde Song.
Speechless. You are amazing! Ugh, can't find the words to describe how I feel about it. It's just so... impressive and heart warming, and beautiful, and it's so great that you made it! Thank you so much!
