[voice A] [Intro - Cavernous Ambient Drone] [Spoken Narration - Deep Bass-Baritone] [Gravelly, Weathered Voice] Ruins... A monument... to our arrogance. [Slow Spoken Monologue - Authoritative] Ruin has come to our family. You remember our venerable house... opulent... and imperial. [Spoken Word - Deep Resonance] Gazing at the abyssal edge... where shadows... devour the light. [Outro - Tolling Iron Bell] [Gravelly Whisper] Welcome home. [voice B] [Intro] [low fire crackle, distant wind] sit by the fire, gather ye near, this is a tale you'd be best to hear [voice B] [Verse 1] it's dark in here and the torches barely glow, Grave Robber is bleeding, an there's only one way to go, Man-at-arms is shaken, Crusader's got The Fits, but we've come this far, and nobody quits! Stone underfoot, something scratches the wall. One torch left. Food running thin. one last look, boys we're going in. [voice B] [Pre-Chorus] Keep your torch high. Keep your steel near. The dark smells weakness and feeds on fear. [voice B] [Chorus] DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE LIGHT! DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE FIGHT! Hold that line! Don't lose your nerve! DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE LIGHT! DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE FIGHT! [voice B] [Verse 2] Ruins full of dead men. Warrens full of swine. the old ones dug too deep, and left a curse behind He wanted every secret. He opened every door. Now there's something underneath us that was sleeping there before. Vestal's getting nervous. Plague Doctor starts to laugh. Occultist says, "Trust me." That's when things get bad. [voice B] [Pre-Chorus] Keep your torch high. Keep your steel near. The dark smells weakness and feeds on fear. [voice B] [Chorus] DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE LIGHT! DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE FIGHT! Bleed and blight! Stress climbing high! Keep that torch away from the night! [voice B] [Bridge] There's something in the garden. Something in the sea. Something in the darkness that already knows me. The old man wanted answers. Now I know enough. Sometimes knowing what is down there is worse than giving up. [voice B] [Breakdown] One more hallway. One more room. Nobody run. Nobody split. We've come this far— AND NOBODY QUITS! [voice B] [Final Chorus] DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE LIGHT! DARKEST DUNGEON! STAY IN THE FIGHT! TORCH BURNS LOW! HEARTS BEAT FAST! EVERYBODY PRAY THIS ROOM'S THE LAST! [voice B] [Outro] sit by the fire, gather ye near... Some tales end. This one just waits.
