Son of Darkness - Castlevania inspired Dark Orchestral

SON OF DARKNESS - CASTLEVANIA INSPIRED DARK ORCHESTRAL FOR WRITING & DEEP FOCUS "Son of Darkness" is a 7-track Castlevania inspired dark orchestral album following a silver haired warrior kneeling in a graveyard before the castle he was born in, speaking to a father he loved and destroyed in the same motion. He is not here to argue with what his father became — that argument is finished, he finished it, he knows that. He is here because he doesn't know where else to go.

I have been trying to remember you correctly and that is harder than it sounds because memory has a way of choosing, of keeping the parts that hurt and softening the parts that would complicate the hurting. I remember your hands before everything, when I was very small and they were the largest things in my world, and I remember thinking nothing could exist that those hands could not stop, and I was not wrong about that, I was wrong about other things. I know what you became and I am not here to argue with what you became — that argument is finished, I finished it, I know that — but I keep coming back to who you were before the grief made you something else, before it turned inward, before it found a shape that the world could not accommodate. She would have stopped you — you know that, I know that, that was always the arrangement, she was the thing that kept you pointed toward something worth being, and then she was gone and there was nothing left to point you anywhere. I am not her, I know this, I have always known this, I could not be the thing that kept you, I was a child, and then I was the thing that had to stop you, and there was nothing in between, we never got the in between. I have her eyes — I see her sometimes in water, in dark glass, she looks back at me and I don't know whether to be grateful or to look away — and I wonder if you saw her when you looked at me, and I think you did, and I think that made everything both better and worse in ways neither of us ever found words for. I chose her side of things and I want you to know that was not easy, I want you to know I understood what I was choosing against, not what you did but what you were underneath what you did, I knew what was underneath, I always knew, and that's the part nobody talks about, what was underneath. The castle is still standing — of course it is, some things don't know how to fall, you built it that way, you built everything to last, and that was always the most human thing about you, the wanting things to last. I come here because you are not anywhere and this is the closest thing to somewhere that I have. I loved you. Even at the end. Especially at the end. I need you to know that even though you can't. I have her eyes. I see her every time. I'm still deciding whether that is the cruelest thing or the kindest. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a Human-led creative project.
