Bury The Light (Boss Theme Special Edition)

Casey Edwards' 'Bury The Light (Boss Theme Special Edition)' is a powerful anthem that delves into themes of identity, power, and the eternal struggle between light and darkness. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who has embraced their dark side, symbolized by the recurring imagery of fire, shadows, and chaos. The opening lines, 'Bury the light deep within / Cast aside there’s no coming home,' suggest a deliberate rejection of the light, or perhaps a past life, in favor of a darker, more chaotic existence.

The song's narrative is rich with metaphors and dramatic imagery. The protagonist describes themselves as 'the storm that is approaching,' a force of nature that brings destruction and change. This self-identification with a storm and the 'black clouds in isolation' highlights a sense of power and inevitability. The mention of a 'family crest' being 'a demon of death' further emphasizes a legacy of darkness and power, suggesting that this path is not just a choice but a destiny inherited and embraced.

Throughout the song, there is a constant tension between surrender and defiance. Lines like 'Through vacant halls I won’t surrender' and 'We fight through fire and ice forever' underscore a relentless determination to overcome obstacles and claim what is rightfully theirs. The imagery of 'a phoenix’s ash in dark divine' and 'constellations of blood pirouette' adds a mythic quality to the narrative, suggesting rebirth and the cyclical nature of power and identity. Ultimately, 'Bury The Light' is a dramatic exploration of embracing one's true nature, no matter how dark, and the relentless pursuit of power and self-actualization.
