Jyc Row - When the Land Rose ~ Groudon's Song (feat. Christian Correa)

Описание: Heya everyone!

After almost 5 years since the release of Kyogre's song... I finally decided to make a theme for Groudon!
I admit this one has been made rather quickly, because I only had the idea to make it recently and I thought having it released for the 30th anniversary of Pokémon would be very cool!

30 years of Pokémon... This is the game, the license I grew up with. And the 3rd generation was definitely my favorite.
I remember being outside, in my garden, just walking in circle while playing Pokémon Emerald. Going through the gold symbols in the battle frontier, what a time it was!
I remember having more than 500 hours on that game ahah!

So, I decided I should definitely finish the songs of the trio, with having Groudon's song, "When the Land Rose", being the next one (Rayquaza is planned already, don't worry, it won't take another 5 years to be released, at worst it may be next year!)

Since Kyogre's song was sung in a "operatic" voice, by Psamathes, I thought it'd have been great to have a male opera singer for Groudon!
And for this one, I worked with Christian Correa! I absolutely love how it turned out, especially since it's the very first time I work with those kind of vocals!

Considering the short deadline and time I had to make this song, I'm the one who mixed the vocals this time (and thus I apologize if it sounds a bit different than usual, I am no professional sound engineer lol)
I also tried an overall different way of composing/mixing/mastering things, so I admit it may be quite experimental there but, ye, hope you'll like it!

P.S.: Also damn, Gen10 actually looks... great? :0

Lyrics:

In the first age of heat and stone
When fire still slept beneath the crust
The ground began to shift and groan
As buried power stirred from dust

The plains were lifted from the deep
The mountains learned their weight and form
And through the cracks the world would keep
The memory of primal storm

No call was heard, no sign was given
No voice disturbed the molten ground
The land itself began to rise
Obeying laws without a sound

The land rose, the land endured
Fire waited
In the world’s old bones

No crown was forged, no throne secured
Oh, sun
Only stone...
...and heat alone

Beneath the soil, beneath the plain
He rests where pressure never fades
Where silent force outlives the rain
And time itself is slowly weighed

When ground grows dry, when rivers fail
When earth forgets the touch of sea
The buried fire begins to swell
And land reclaims what it must be

No blade may scar
What stone has sealed
No age may break
What fire revealed

The land rose, the land stood fast
Seas withdrew
From hardened ground

What fire shaped in ages past
Still holds
The world in bound

He was not shaped by mortal design
Nor guided by the passing sky
He is the weight that bends the spine
Of continents...
...and ages by

Where earth must stand, where fire must stay
There lies the power none command

The land rose, the land remains
Fire sleeps
But never dies

When rain has fled, when skies grow pale
The ground remembers
Ancient might

Stone remembers
Fire waits
The land endures
The land endures...
