I for one, have been noticing Riot’s extra effort with their custom login screens for each new character they come out with. This extra effort doesn’t even stop with the splash art, but with custom music as well. I recall variations of their main themes in the past but with their 102 champion Diana, they have truly outdone themselves.
'Daylight's End' is just so… serene and eerie. I can just picture this playing during a movie trailer for some epic fantasy movie. The sun will pay. Endless props for this beautiful piece go to:
RiotRunaan – lyrics
Praeco – music
Saiyaka – voice
To hear this, download 'Daylight's End' from LoL's Soundcloud, watch the video below, or just load up the free to play MOBA League of Legends and wait at the login screen. This song will both loop and give you goose bumps. In all seriousness, GO download it.
Lyrics:
Ask not the sun why she sets
Why she shrouds her light away
Or why she hides her glowing gaze
When night turns crimson gold to grey
For silent falls the guilty sun
As day to dark does turn
One simple truth she dare not speak:
Her light can only blind and burn
No mercy for the guilty
Bring down their lying sun
Blood so silver black by night
Upon their faces pale white
Cruel moon, bring the end
The dawn will never rise again
