The World is saved - IGN's Podcast Beyond

Hoy quiero dejaros por aquí una canción que busca convertirse en himno para los gamers. Yo creo que es un listón demasiado alto pero quien sabe, igual lo consigue porque la verdad es que la canción está bien hecha.

La ha realizado el IGN's Podcast Beyond, una colaboración entre diferentes personas de IGN.

The world is saved...

The living room is dark save for light being cast

From the big tv screen and the imminent sunrise

That is teasing the once-starry sky

With whispers of morning

You sit there, alone, in your one-bedroom flat

You stare straight ahead with controller in hand

And you marvel at, yes, you did it, you made it,

Game over

And the world is saved, thanks to you

The people pray for a hero and you answered the call

And you did a good job, you gave it your best,

And you are proud of yourself though a little depresed

That the world is saved

You stocked and prepared. you slept at the inn.

Your whole inventory was packed going in

With equipment and items designed

To turn man into legend

You sigh, satisfied, as a cutscene presents

The kind of conclusion you kind of expected;

The people are smiling, the sunshine has returned,

It's... perfect

But you can not help thinking on what is coming next

Got work in the morning and your body is upset

With your general lack of paying any attention

Your stomach is empty, your body is tired,

It burns every time you try closing your eyes

And the dullest of pain has made camp

North of your cerebellum

But the world is saved, if you like

The hero hangs up his sword as he says his goodbye.

But then where does he go? what does he do?

The adventure is over, so where does that leave you

When the world is saved?

The curtain falls. the music plays. the credits roll and it all fades to black...

And you're left by yourself

The fanfare is gone

There is no player 2 there by your side

To share victories won

But as you slowly progress

Down the hall to your bed,

A few great events

Leak back into your head

From the time that you spent

Traversing the land,

Battling evil, fighting the darkness,

Just sword in hand

Your memories creep in

With the edge of a smile

You realize again

What you lost for a while

You are going to think back much less

On how you saved the day

Than on all

The experience gained

At the end of it all,

Gamers play what we play

Not for game over,

But rather for what we take away!

The world is saved

But who cares!

We both know that that's not what you came for

Your next adventure is already in sight

And you are all set to go

You are axcited to see what is all wrong 'till it is right

And the world is saved...

Though you're more along for a ride

(the world is saved)

You're more along for a ride

(the world is saved)

You're more along for a ride

(the world is saved)

You're more along for a ride
