Lyrics:
Wolves asleep amidst the trees
Bats all a swaying in the breeze
But one soul lies anxious, wide awake
Fearing no manner of ghouls hags and wraiths
For your dolly polly sleep has flown.
Don’t dare let her sleep alone,
for the Witcher, heart-less, cold,
paid in coin of gold,
he comes. He’ll go, leave naught behind
but heartache and woe.
Deep, deep woe.
Folks are laying in their beds
Dreaming away their dreads
But one soul lies anxious, wide awake
Fearing all manner of ghouls hags and wraiths
Tell your dolly polly start to sleep.
he can’t catch you if you’re far and deep
for the Witcher, contract sold,
paid in coin of gold,
he comes you’ll go leave not behind
but heart ache and woe.
deep deep woe
birds are silent for the night.
cows turned in as daylight dies.
but one soul lies anxious, wide awake
fearing no manner of ghouls hags and wraiths
my dear dolly polly shut your eyes
lie still lie silent utter no cries
for the Witcher brave and bold,
paid in coin of gold,
He’ll chop and sli.ce you. cut and dice you.
Eat you up whole
Eat you whole.

From a worldbuilding perspective, I love the idea of a song that the monsters sing about the Witcher. It really helps sell the idea of intelligent, and not necessarily wicked, monsters. To them the Witcher is basically a bogeyman; An unthinking, unfeeling, unwavering courier of death, trading the lives of your loved ones for a coin purse. And they can only hope and pray that when that Witcher finally comes for them, he comes with a grey mane and a heart as golden as those same coins.
Geralt is the only Witcher with white hair, and it's because he was subjected to additional mutagens
@@brennanmercker5084 You're forgetting Vesimir.
@@TheRealSkeletorhe was just old I think
@@halyketarrantcorrect, vesemir was like 200 years old, and he looked like a guy in his 60s
2:25 I literally jumped back in my chair! Holy crap, I was not ready for that epic shift!
It added that extra SPARK to the video!
yep, their voices together are kinda unfair ;)
i didn't jump back i just started crying! lol! amazing , both of you!!
If he weren't married I would ship it
Tnx for spoiling it!!!
Activate rough voice:
"Nice song, havent heard it in a while"
hahahaha......folk have forgotten it
😂😂😂😂
Got... other things on their mind
Things like me?
@@bog7227 "...They paid me for you."
Peter is such a nice, cheerful guy, so whenever he sings and has this kind of 'bad guy' attitude, I'm like 'who are you and what have you done to peter?'
Sorry, Old Peter can't come to the phone right now. Why? Because he's dead.
LOLOL sorry, it was the PERFECT setup to some Taylor Swift 😝
Dark Peter😂😂😂
@@josephhoman5084 him and darkiplier should have a deep voice off hahaha
You should partner up with Avi and do more of these!
It's not just his voice his expression and overall facial structure looks harder, harsher, more angular, and overall more sinister. Especially as compared to his cheerful or melancholic songs. I swear he would be an awesome actor if he wanted.
So much talent in one video. This is absolutely astounding work.
Hello~
Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is weird yesterday i saw "Just Some Guy With a Mustache" i thought you have evolved...
Ohhh no it might be an Impersonator...
I love her voice. I never imagine a voice could have such a power on my soul
She has an AMAZING voice!
Child Ciri: Geralt, there’s a monster under my bed.
Yenn, sitting next to Geralt: don’t be silly dear, They wouldn’t dare with him here.
Geralt, humming to himself: hm hm hmmm hmm payed in gold....
Someone with the artistic ability make this into a comic, please!
He starts hacking the bed to pieces
@@a-dog-person9568 writing my bachelor degree now, but give me some time, i will
@@a-dog-person9568 whoaa that a good idea, kay ill try
Lambert emerges from under Ciri's bed: you're really no fun, Yen.
Thank you for that epic cooperation! The witcher‘s music is quite awesome, but your harmonic voices bring that to another quality
Yes more Witcher songs! So good! I’m currently playing Witcher 3.
I need to play it! I've heard amazing things about it
Peter Hollens It’s amazing! You can choose how much of a monster you want to be.
@@PeterHollens Oh man are you in for a treat
@Joshua Aragon does one have to play 1 and 2 or can go straight to 3?
Muhammad Durrani Watch summary videos on 1 & 2, to get a general idea of what’s going on in 3. Otherwise you’ll be confused asf
Kudos for being the only one to (mostly) get the lyrics correct in your cover of this song, especially the line "Fearing no manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths", which for some reason every other cover version has (incorrectly) as "fearing *all* manner of ghouls, hags and wraiths".
Best cover version I've heard yet.
How can people get that wrong? The meaning becomes the complete opposite if you go "Fearing all manner...".
I am living for the Witcher songs - your voice just fits so well I can't
I am living for them tooooo!
The Witcher world might be one of the most beautiful ones ever created. When vampires have monsters of their own to dream about when they sleep, and it ends up being humans who are the monsters... That's deep lol
MY GOD... I've been waiting for this. And as usual, what an amazing voiceee, I'm so glad you did it with malukah damn I love her voice, and yours too
She is AMAZING and has such an incredible voice! Glad you enjoyed it !
Oh wow Peter. That was amazing, and added so much more to the song. Thank you, to both yourself and Maluka for making this song, from my favourite game, even more haunting.
What a beautifully full, haunting sound 😍 love it!!!
❤️❤️❤️ so happy you enjoyed it !
peter honestly one of your best ones !! the sound is so good and your voices fit together so well! ive always been a fan of this song but you guys made it even better.
I love the dichotomy between Peter and Malukah here. While he looks and sounds angry, or vengeful she sounds hauntingly sad.
Peter has such an amazing voice and Malukah has the voice of a goddess, and when you put them together the universe is just shattered by the sheer power that their harmonies possess to move you to emotion
Malukah's voice is gorgeous!
Oh my god, my two favourite singers made my favourite song from the Witcher!! I have wanted that for so long, I am so happy. Thank you guys, this is so f** perfect. You are the best!
Thank You for this song, I just can't stop listening, I really like the atmosphere it's giving.
Can't wait for the next song !!!
It does give such a great atmosphere!! :)
Hypnotic... Beautiful. I really love the fact that you guys don't cover songs the exact same way they sound, but add your own original twist to them. As a musician I highly appreciate that.
Oooh! I am really glad you are singing with Malukah again!!! Your Baba Yetu was great!
Malukah is the BEST
Check out her Vokul Fen Mah Elder Scrolls original song. Her original song (Beauty of Dawn) that she wrote for the Elder Scrolls Online game is great too.
Everything Peter and Malukah do are gold, but when they come together, it's platinum.
How many re-watches did it take me to notice the faces in the background were so funny? Malu's being all serious face and there's Peter being Comedy and Tragedy in the upper corners. XD
Uwielbiam, przepiękne.
The best cover i've heard. I love when you and malukah work together. It's always so great.
Greetings from Poland
Two of my favorite artists singing one of my favorite fantasy songs? AWESOME!!!!!!
I was yelling in joy after seeing this.
I love this song! Been waiting for you to do it since I first subscribed. Thank you!
Hope you enjoyed it! 😊
I shiver every time you do a track from one of my video games or shows. This is incredible.
When, after an exhausting day, I glance at TH-cam at get THIS on the very top, I know this day is going to end well after all
MY TWO FAVORITE TH-cam SINGERS IN THE SAME VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!! AND WITCHER MUSIC TOO!!!!!!! You made my day!!!
Peter Hollens, you always amaze me, because you put so much amazing effort into your voice and videos. Never stop being the amazing you.
You amaze ME! ❤️❤️❤️
@@PeterHollens thank you, I was wondering when the cover of Why should I worry will happen? 😉
all your witcher covers are bringing so much glee to my soul.
Love it! You two sound so awesome together!
It would be awesome if you could maybe do covers from Quest for Camelot. Such an underrated movie with underrated songs.
Thank you so much!! Working with Malukah is the best time!
I will def add that over to our suggestion list!
@@PeterHollens For sure! You guys's cover of Baba Yetu is still one of my favourites!
In Quest for Camelot, especially Garrett's song "I Stand Alone" would lend itself very well to your voice. And "If I Didn't Have You" is a very fun comical duet. Also "Looking Through Your Eyes" is an utterly sweet duet that you could maybe do with Evynne.
Quest for Camelot is one of my favourite movies and I love the songs
Seconding the suggestion
I've listened to this quite a few times since it was uploaded. I get goosebumps and chills every time. Such very talented people!
You actually got me into the witcher since your cover of toss a coin. Im so happy to see this :)
Yussss, such a good show/game/book series
@@PeterHollens thanks for getting me into it :)
I have always appreciated and loved the combined voices of you two. Thank you guys for this song. I am a huge witcher fan books games and the series. You guys are amazing!
This has been my favourite Witcher song since I realised, halfway through my first listen, that this isn't a peasant song talking about how scary Witchers are; this is Monster singing about how scary Witchers are! I honestly didn't think it could get any better but you've managed it! This is amazing!!
That was absolutely beautiful! It's an amazing song anyway so the fact that the two of you can give it your own twist and still give me goosebumps is testament to your talents. Thank you both so much for doing this!
*I was literally looking for this today an hour ago. GOD ITS SO GOOD!*
So glad this happened right after you were looking!
Goosebumps. I really like the play of the high and low notes.
And the visuals just made it even better.
Как в старые добрые времена, Ты и Малука. Спасибо вам.
Always LOVE working with Malukah!
@@PeterHollens Yeah, we too! Love collaboration! Thank you both!
Two of my favorite TH-cam performers tackling one of my favorite games. Love it
"Knocking on Heaven's Door" would be a cool song to hear you cover. I think you could do an awesome, dramatic arrangement of it, like Raign.
Can I just say OH MY GOD? 😍
So happy and proud to be following both of you from years guys 🖤
Damn Mahlukas beautiful voice still gives me goosebumps!
Haunting! So beautiful! Man, Miracle of Sound/Karliene and Peter Hollens/Malukah uploads in the same day? I didnt know it was my Birthday!
This is such a beautiful cover!!!!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰
No matter how often i listen to this i am everytime amazed how well your voices are in harmony in This Song i just love it
Ooh! Such a creepy song! Gives me chills and makes me want to go hide under my covers. I loved it!! Lol! Great job to both of you!
Thank you so much!!!
Exceptional work, Peter, not that I would expect anything less. The two of you together make a powerful combo.
Here is a request for Safe and Sound from The Hunger Games movies. Thank you.
I will add it to the suggestion list Elizabeth!
@@PeterHollens know you probably won't see this, but if you could do a cover of "We are the souls" by Pruld, the Dark Souls community would be indebted towards you forever.
AMAZING song! I love when you and Malukah work together it always creates such a mysterious mystic harmony!
I smelled death and adventure when I listened to this
Nah, muust have been just Onions
😂😂😂😂
😂😂 too good!
Least this pie had filling :D
SirUlrichVL 😂😂😭😭😂😂 I can’t emote hard enough to appreciate this!
Oh wow! This is fantastic!! Your voices match so well and it is a wonderful rendition of an already awesome song.
Oh wow. You two did amazing on this! The fantasy rpg genre is really your strong suit.
Thank you so much Emily! I agree, I really love fantasy music!
Very well done, Peter, to both you and Malukah. What an awesome cover. Keep up the outstanding work.
Peter, I think you'd do an amazing version of "The Song of the White Wolf" by Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli that plays during the credits of the last episode of The Witcher on Netflix. You'd nail the moody and ominous tone so well with your vocal style.
I would love that! The original is amazing and an excellent material for an acapella remake.
I second that motion! ✋🏼
Yes!!!! I would love to hear him sing this song. I had mentioned it in a comment to another song.
I got goosebumps like I never had them before! My neck, my arms, even my legs got covered by it. I already loved that song but now I adore it even more. Thank you very much to both of you, Malukah and Peter! Always a pleasure to hear music from you guys. Thank you! Thank you!
I got the same things when I first heard this song!
"Don't play the bard", They said. "Bards are lame!" they said! *Watches these bards take over the entire internet* "........"
I've loved Malukah's music for a long time! Great to see a collab again with you two!
Dare for adolescent Monsters: Standing in front of a silver mirror and calling 'Geralt' three times.
It is said that the Witcher will appear and take you with him for bounty.
I am not sure if it is true but when I dared to go to two times I heard a voice asking: how 'bout a round of Gwent?'
indeed does work!!
Daaaammmmmnnnn,, it is SO good to see you two collaborating again!!! Every time you do it's magic.
AGREEEEEED! Here HERE!
The Dragon Age Origins "This Is War Cover", I'm still crossing my fingers you'll do this.
This is so cool! What a haunting sound with your voices mixing.
I love this. And it reminds me of a song I'd love to hear: Where the Wild Roses Grow by Kylie Minogue
Peter that was so beautiful, it gave me chills! I’ve ever heard Malukah sing, wow, I love her voice! Great job you two 💖💖💖
When we have kids:
"Daddy, sing us a lullaby!" :P
Omg I have serious chills! Peter alone is ridiculously talented, but Peter and Malukah...wow! I don't have words! 😍
His percussion on his chest (lower left corner) looked painful. The price paid for art.
Yeah... it was 😂
❤️😂 I mean, it wasn't that great LOL
Peter Hollens you should do Davy Jones theme song from pirates of Caribbean
fialeja (I mispelled that) has a wonderful set of lyrics to a Davy Jones song (also, Man on the Internet, though Fialeja wrote them), though I'm not sure if Buddies Buddies is referring to that song.
Robert Lewis yes thank u so much. This is in fact the song I was referring to
Deep, deep WHOA! is more like it! Well done. That must have taken an age to edit, but worth every coin that was tossed! Malukah is always so amazing! This sounds SO GOOD!
Prisilla's Song, its told from Garalt's perspective and a male cover should be great
Ahem, it's Geralt. X
@@TurinTuramber may I beg pardon for my error.
By far the best version i've heard of this fabelous song. It's always so impressive to see how much work you put in such a project, 'till every little detail is fitting in the right place. phantastic work. i admire your talent and your passion. Thank you for sharing this with your community.
You know you have to do Gaunter O’Dimms theme now
I was about to comment the same thing
I love this!! Amazing video again Peter and Malukah!
It would be really cool if you did a cover version of “Wolven Storm”. ^^
I love that song!
Malukah did if you're interrested, but without Peter.
YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO IT. It's also amazing!
This is excellent! I particularly love it when you get into the lower parts of your range in your songs (like around 1:10-1:25 or so) and it's always a treat seeing a collab with Malukah! I also wanna praise the kind of sinister expressions through, particularly that eerie headtilt around 0:38; it really adds to the mood
Please, do Her Sweet Kiss next!
It's on the list 😉
So. Freaking. GOOD! So exciting you've worked with Malukah again!!!
Please do "I sit beside the fire" from The Lord of The Rings!! It's in the books not the movies, but CamillasChoice and Clamavi De Profundis have covers you could check out for inspiration, or maybe a colab!
Yesss! More LotR Music!!
Dear Peter, these absolutely amazing songs literally pull me out of near-depression these days. I just wanted to say thank you so much, and also, Happy birthday!)
And it's great to hear you and Malukah singing together again)
Please consider doing 'Islander' by Nightwish and 'Happy Together' by The Turtles.
I will def consider and I added them over to the suggestion list! :)
@@PeterHollens Awesome thanks!
I heartily second “The Islander”!
Always good to see Malukah here again. Always a symphony of joy listening to you 2.
Agreed! We've got some other songs coming out soon! :)
@@PeterHollens I eagerly look forward to it.
*Everyone now:* discovering Witcher universum
*Me:*
"Hmm."
I'm really happy because I'm always waiting for a new video games cover, plus a featuring with Malukah. And I got both ! You two are a great duo. I'd love to hear other The Witcher 3 covers (like "The Song of the Sword Dancer", which is one of the best songs of this game, or "Naranca"). Thank you for sharing your work and your talent.
"Who Wants to Live Forever" by Queen - it'd sound awesome Peter Hollens style!
SIR!!!!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU'RE SO GOOD AT THIS!!! Malukah, YOU DID AMAZING TOO!!!!!
Hey Peter, as Tangled: the series is ending in 1st March, can you do a compilation of it's songs? It would be awesome !
I will add it over to the list! :)
Man, I am so glad I saw this. Peter and Malu back at it again!
Почему не русскую версию спели? "В поле спят мотыльки" классная
В английскойслов больше
Malukah and Peter Hollens, great combo. Awesome song.
If we're going through Witcher songs now...is the next one Her Sweet Kiss?
Absolutely amazing! Nothing brings a chill to my frozen self, as hearing the two of you sing together.
It would be nice ifyou did a cover on "hold on" from Detroit become human
I will defientely add it to the suggestion list! :)
As soon as I saw you guys were doing this song I was so excited, and it doesn't disappoint!
What is this gloriousness in my sub box!!!!! I dont think ive ever clicked so fast and hard on a video in my life. Two of my all time favorite singers together again!!!! Its still two weeks before my 30th birthday but this is the best gift im probably gonna get ha ha. Thank you so much for doing a collab with Malukah again!!!! Please do more together!
That was amazing to watch, I love it.
You are amazing Peter.
Peter Hollens you have such a range. Fun, drama, happy, sad. You are so awesome.
Steve, Chesterfield, UK
I've heard a few versions of this over the last couple of years. Tingles down the spine every time. Great to see you and Malukah working together again. Pure class from the both of you.
I saw Peter Hollens and I got super excited. Then I saw that it was with Malukah and I got SUPER excited. You're both so amazing
Thank you so much Eli!
Reality doesn't deserve this epic gift. Awesome job you guys. Thank you
