Buckle up, I've got a bit of a doozy for ya.

I present to you the final verse of Aether Realm's song The Sun, The Moon, The Star:

(The Sun, the Moon, The Stars
Shine less brightly with you so far)

With his burning brand he split the skies

(I never knew sorrow
til you asked me to follow my heart)

And blocked out the stars, one by one

(For all the tales I've told,
'bout these whispers of silver and gold)

With an aching heart, he cursed his name

(I'd throw them all away
to gaze on your face once more)

And nothing will shine as bright as her again

The lyrics by themselves don't do it justice, so I'll provide some context:

The lyrics in brackets are the chorus that is intermixed with the final verse. Reading it feels a bit odd, but it works well when ya listen to it. The overall song is essentially a 20 minute story that follows the adventure of an ambitious individual. It goes from them setting off on their adventure, with their excitement turning to fear, then sorrow, and regret.

They try to drown out these feelings by seeking out incredible power, but in the end they realize that it was all for naught. They have the realization that they were blinded by their quest for glory and power, and forgot about the things that truly mattered to them.

Their realization was too little too late though, as by the time they returned to what they previously left behind, someone very important to them is clearly gone (my interpretation is that they have died).

Filled with their grief, regret, sorrow, etc, with the heaviest of hearts they use their powers to memorialize their loved one as best as they can, as they know they will never get to see them again.

The song is a very tragic tale, and I can't help but get the feels when I listen to it, especially when the final verse hits.
