I am thrilled to present this collaboration with Paradox, the creators of Crusader Kings III, a grand strategy role-playing game set in the Middle Ages. It's such an honour to have been charged with writing a completely original song for their newest work: Legends of the Dead.

Lyrics:
Who shall mourn thee
Wash and shroud thee
Climb the belfry
Who shall vigil stand?

Who shall praise thee
Fear and hate thee
Save thy story

Who shall carve thee
Mould and cast thee
Set thy form free
By their own right hand?

Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison
