Lyrics:
I lied awake for days,
Counting all the ways I died
Everything I couldn’t save
Buried down, still half alive
It’s got me crawling in my skin
But no one’s coming now to hold me close
Pouring out the gasoline
Yeah, I’ve been making friends with all these ghosts
And I’ve got nothing left to lose
Fire to the fuse (yeah)
Fire to the fuse
I’m
Sick and it’s twisted
But I’m back
With a match
Yeah and I’m a buzzkill
With nothing to lose
I’m
Sinking my teeth in
And I won’t
Let you go
We’re not having fun till…
You set fire to the fuse
Well it’s not me to turn and run
Met the bitter truth and I choked it down
Left a bad taste on my tongue
But my appetites been growing now
I can see you crawling in your skin
But no one’s coming now to hold you close
I’m pouring out the gasoline
So say hello to all my ghosts …
All alone
I’m moving like your shadow
You’re walking in my dead zone
Breathing slow
Love the hunt, love the high
Watching light fade from your eyes
And this is not a warning
This is not a test
I’m zeroed in on you and I’m
coming for the rest
And I’m about to ignite
Just try to play it cool
Echoes in your head like
Deja deja vu

I love how they managed to include a Lux cameo in the end of the video. Their daughter will always recieve a special treatment
you mean their favorite money printer
Yo Pyke and Jax are Lux's dads???
Came from nowhere ,no one asked it , useless ,but its here
@@gowen7889 riot are the parents
And her siblings are ezreal, ahri and senna
“Nothing like watching the light leave your own eyes” gave me chills
Yeah And it’s getting even more chillier once you know the context
@@iamnerose1658 what’s the contex
@@Aesc_the_voyager essentially….. The one Pyke kills……is none other than Pyke himself
@@iamnerose1658 yeah I got that much from the voice line I was just wonder about why he killed himself
@@Aesc_the_voyager basically make him stronger…..and he hate himself ? If you have watch The One starred by Jet Li, the Empyrean skinline is basically that
Pyke is so badass he wins even as the bad guy, which never happens in League Cinematics
yep
Against Jax Btw, THE CHAMPION
he did also lose though
the bald guy was playing as pyke but he fed the enemy and lose and pyke is pissed off so he kill the player
@@dekwii9704 the bald guy *was* Pyke. The Empyrean lore is Pyke killing alternate reality versions of himself. That was Pyke in a different reality.
let's pretend this was the 2023 cinematic
The first couple bars were better than the whole 2023 ranked cinematic
@@warcoreofficial havent play this for a few years. was it that bad?
@@SpoogieDerpington yes.
@@SpoogieDerpington watch it 😂
Yeah... Overused joke.
this finally explains how they got jackson to perform at worlds this year.
How?
@@hanskinny69 By making this song/video♥. What he would perfom at worlds if he didnt release nothing here?
To cover up how bad starwalkin?
You mean Jax-on?
@@Rbcar4036 or to cover up how bad your judgment is?
I love how Pyke takes a moment to go "Hey! How come this version of me gets to win his match?"
They should turn it into an emote tbh
Ah so it's pyke trying to kill another pyke
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!* ......
@@ManiyaVinas yes, basically the skinline is about pyke travelling in other dimensions killing the pyke of that dimension to grow stronger, no clue about jax and the others
@@deadman900th Jax and the other Emperyean is just that, another version of Pyke. Whom he killed and then become Emperyean too.
It's crazy how this whole skinline and the song didnt receive as much promotion as it feels they shouldve, it's so good
it got its own official trailer with crazy edits and visuals, did you even watch the video? not sure how else they would promote it but ok bud
@MudLee star guardian is already an established skinline and people love it the first time it was introduced,heck this is already enough promotion for a new skinline compare to the others
@@taka0637THATS WHAT IM SAYINNN
It deserve more the way kda and true damage got promoted
G DRAGON KING
Gives me actually more worlds song vibes than the actual world song, love it.😂❤
yessssssss, gonna act like star walking wasn't the worlds song
Nah star walkin was the best worlds anthem, the animation was the weird one
better than worlds, i would love it like worlds song
@@sfglim5341 star walking was trash compared to other world anthems. Lil Nas X literally picked a random song from his album so the song didnt even relate to worlds or league.
@@sfglim5341 tf u smokin ? just to never touch that thing
They killed it with that slow MO walk when the beat drops at the end! Complete masterpiece on this one
Absolutely
VIBE
GOOSEBUMPS!!!
yes that part bruuh!
yo the fckin nostalgia sooo good!!!!!!
It's cool Jax is the good guy and the ending was surprising!
a surprise ? it was so obvious from the start
@@apollojustice3431 I'm not surprised Jax is the good guy, he is good guy in lore (to my knowledge). I was surprised that the guy died at the ending. I thought the story was gonna be the guy getting a power or teaming up with Jax to defeat Pyke.
@@justbeingbored5282 the guy is pyke variant
@@justbeingbored5282 either of these were possible really. The guy is pykes variant if he were born to a normal life in our world i guess - the only thing ill say is a bit not obvious is if hed survive. Since usually these stories with a teen have them survive espically league. But its Pyke the bilgewater slasher (or.. alternate dimension slasher..?) were talking here so yeah kids deads :(
@@justbeingbored5282 The guy is literally another pyke from another dimention. In the empyrean lore, Pyke seeks vengeance against the other pykes. That's why he wanted to kill him perticularely, and why at the end of the cinematic the other dying pyke realised he was being killed by none other than himself
To everyone who didn't get the ending: Basically Pyke was chasing another verision of himself the whole video, here is some lore that might help you understand: "Pyke remembers little before falling into the embrace of the Foreglow (what made him an Empyrean), only that he was defending his home. Waking in a new realm as the first Empyrean, he hears the whispers of other Pykes across the dimensions, taunting him from their homes. Why was his lost and not theirs? No answer will satisfy his searing rage, except vengeance."
This actually helped me understand the context of the video, thank you.
@@spooderboigamerproductions2120 glad I could help :)
guys this is what happens if you lose a league of legends game, pyke with say "it's pyking time" and pyke all over your sandwich. Don't lose a league of legends game guys
😂😂
Every spend their time doing what they like
G DRAGON KING
I became pyke irl bro
"Pyke all over your sandwich" is what got me
The singer is Jackson Wang. He's a soloist from China with songs predominantly in English. His latest album is called MAGIC MAN in pop/rock genre. Check it out if you are interested by his vocals here and want to know more!
Do you happen to know the genre of this song?
Before he was part of JYP's kpop group called Got7
thanks for the info man
@@gemmameidia8438 he still is, Got7 is just no longer owned by JYP
@@alexisvalck5308 EDM?
As a pyke main, this skinline and the teaser+animation have been fantastic to watch
Agreed
Agreeeeeed
Yh agreed
Watch them nerf pyke again for the fun of it tho xd
Agreeed
*Jackson's voice is giving me goosebumps! He seriously nailed it 🔥❤🔥*
G DRAGON KING
@@himaririku9254 why are you spamming everywhere?!
The song, the animation and Jackson Wang himself is just amazing.
G DRAGON KING
Riot/League did well to get Jackson for this. What a great collab. The song and the animation are so cool. Jackson's voice is out of this world!
Jackson is definitely from other world ♡
Better the the worlds music
G DRAGON THE KING
Gonna tell my kids, this was Worlds Anthem 2022
The other one was better idk wtf this was
as it should be!
@@apexpradator9625 this was.. a lot better lol
@@apexpradator9625 Wait I dont understand the subjects
@@JPdraws_ nah man, it's more than "a lot"
This music really suits Pyke
This is the real Worlds song for 2022
I don't know which is better, the fantastic animation or Jackson's amazing voice.
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!* ......
G DRAGON KING
Jackson Wang is really MAGICMAN!
Now that's a real league of legends music, A music made for a real fight, A music that give me goosebumps, A music who make everyone in a stadium roar. Thats league of legends.
That's a Magic Man song!
If only this was the worlds song. It be so much more fitting than star walking.
Everyone!! That's JACKSON WANG and his amazing voice! 🫶
way better than 2023's cinematic
bro think he is spiderman across the spiderverse
pyke 2099
Pykel O'Hara
HONESTLY, JACKSON WANG, is also a GENIUS and LEGEND, his beautiful voice and style is SPECTACULAR!, how he is always in the best LEAGUES, PROUD of my precious AVATAR JACKSON WANG!👀🤴🏻😘🎤🎶💃🕺🔥🔥🔥🌍👈✋
jackson wang's voice and this song🧎♀️🧎♀️🧎♀️
Jackson Wang❤
I like looking at your success. You are our pride. Supporting you is giving me happiness.
So, they finally released WORLD'S Anthem. Its epic.!
Love Jackson voice … can’t wait to see his perform
riot really out there just casually collecting top tier singers and idols
Omg jackson wang 🔥
Jackson Wang is just a genius
Proud of Jackson participates in this. Love it
Pyke: Misses the ult. The entire team: Spamming ping
jackson wang master of this song !!!!!
If this is what the cinematic is like imagine what the performance at the opening ceremony for worlds is gonna be
Probably very bad since the songs this year is very poor.
since both songs are so bad and much worse then previous year, probably gonna be worse then last ones
To be fair, LoL cinematics were always miles above anything else that came from this franchise.
kda kaisa flashbacks...
@@loltyler I know one is star walking. What's the other?
GUYS! I THINK WE FINALLY FOUND THE WORLDS SONG!
Jackson has a great tone and really good control on the high notes. AWESOME song , love it !
nah =))) its kinda flat tho
This is what worlds music should have been
Jackson Wang slaying? Nothing new 😻
I got to admit this is one of the best songs i have ever heard this year and if this is not the full version pls make one
Pyke walking away at the end was cold af
Now THAT could be an anthem
They finally released the true worlds anthem! :D
Dear Riot, you nailed it with everything for this skinline. My only complaint is THE SONG IS TOO SHORT GIMME MORE
Riot dosent really like those.
@@subaki8174 theres literally a presave of the full track in the desc which was due to release on Nov 5
the song is boring. too slow
@@shibikox horrible take
much better than their president lmao hahaha .. long but not fire
When this song is better than worlds'...
There's a detail in this video that may have not been intended but I never the less appreciate. Jax lives with the eternal guilt that the let Icathia down. Something he felt responsible to protect. Over here, he fails the boy.
JACKSON 😭💗
JACKSON WANG??? LOVE OF MY LIFE!
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!* ......
Omg this song so good
going to pretend this was the world's anthem
after the long wait they finally released the world's anthem!!
OMG the legendary JACKSON WANG!! I could feel the adenaline rush coming already. FIRE TO THE FUSE is an absolute banger with this voice of his 🔥🔥🔥 Please release this on SPOTIFY! 💋💋
*Ok_Dont_Read_My_Names!* ......
I can't stop fawning over the animation for the song. It truly is just underappreciated at this point. The amount of frame by frames that happen that just have so much perfect context is amazing. The beginning fight scene was jax vs pyke and much like an into the spider version scene or a comic book panel you can see words pop up behind them in brightly lit neon coloring. For pyke's movement almost every single movement was animated using a skill that he possesses from his in-game kit. In fact he uses his W during the ending scene, in the split second between him and jax and his real self. He also uses his E 2 to 3 times to either catch up to our universes pyke or to escape from a skill being used by jax. He even stuns our universes pyke with his E ability hence him standing there and no responding in a few frame by frame shots. Just ughhh the amount of effort and then the distortion effects of the wormhole in the beginning I just love the animation 💖✨!
Yeah, the Jax's E not only got him stunned, but also blocked his auto attack
Jackson Wang 🔥
The Worlds song we deserve
Animation top tier like always
Ayo give me those emoji rn
Fortiche Studios at it again!
except at that ugly worlds songs
@@chrx6089 it's not fortiche, it"s 2:10AM Animation, a Chinese studio from Wuhan
