Whenever there is an epic deadline or severe challenge in my life I always play this song on repeat. Iron by Woodkid. I've seen tons of awesome game trailers and reveals. This one steals the cake every time.Released a few years back at E3. I was instantly blown away. It is fantastic with superb lyrics, editing, song and video. I prefer the assassin's creed version than the original music video.

 I relate to the struggle of this battered soldier as he makes progress on his journey and quest for knowledge. Which is what the game Assassin's Creed Revelations is about.


Iron 

-WoodKid

Deep in the ocean, dead and cast away,
where innocence is burned... in flames.
A million mile from home, I'm walking ahead.
I'm frozen to the bones, I am.

A soldier on my own, I don't know the way.
I'm riding up the heights... of shame.
I'm waiting for the call, the hand on the chest.
I'm ready for the fight... and fate.

The sound of iron shots is stuck in my head.
The thunder of the drums dictates
the rhythm of the falls, the number of deaths,
the rising of the horns... ahead.

From the dawn of time to the end of days,
I will have to run... away.
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste...
of the blood on my lips... again.

This steady burst of snow is burning my hands.
I'm frozen to the bones, I am.
A million mile from home, I'm walking away.
I can't remind your eyes, your face
