Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Keyblade
Revolution and Justice in the Shadows of London
The song "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" by Keyblade is a powerful narrative set in 19th-century London, a time and place rife with social injustice and industrial exploitation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a city where men, women, and children are oppressed by the bourgeoisie, who justify their crimes with lies and deceit. This historical context sets the stage for the struggle between the Templars, who represent tyranny and control, and the Assassins, who fight for freedom and justice.
The protagonists, Jacob and Evie Frye, are twin Assassins who embody both stealth and ferocity. They are depicted as the catalysts for change, aiming to dismantle the corrupt systems in place. The song references iconic elements of the Assassin's Creed series, such as the "leap of faith" from the Big Ben and the use of various weapons and gadgets. These elements are not just for dramatic effect but symbolize the Assassins' commitment to their cause and their willingness to take risks for the greater good.
Cultural references enrich the narrative, mentioning figures like Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, Charles Darwin, and Alexander Graham Bell. These references serve to ground the story in a real historical context, highlighting the intellectual and revolutionary spirit of the era. The song also emphasizes the Assassins' role as protectors of the oppressed, urging the people to fight for what they deserve and promising support in their struggle. The repeated refrain, "Somos Assassin's, somos Syndicate," reinforces the unity and resolve of the Assassins, positioning them as a syndicate of justice against the Templar's tyranny.
