Artist commentary:

Nymelord:

When I was tasked with creating a song about Darkleer becoming the expatriate, I thought to myself; "What if the opening of this song sounded kind of eerie because it would be Darkleer walking to execute the Sufferer?" And after that I just let the plot take me to Signless dying, and the whole "Executioner-to-Expatriate" thing.

Donomon:

When I first listened to the March I was overcome with this sense of burden of duty and formality. It has this really deliberate vibe, but it's so forlorn in its conclusion. After reading the composer's commentary I really wanted to capture that feeling of Darkleer both walking to and away from his duty, so I thought the marching boots would be a nice visual metaphor for that. The void is depicted as rising up to envelop him and his weapons from the stain of blood at his feet. I hope I did this track justice!
