LYRICS: Oh violence does call me, I’ve answered before I made many enemies and settled my scores But I did grow weary and I settled down And proudly bore the weight of my crown I lived on my lonesome away in the far Where there was no violence to trouble my heart I hung up my sword and I raised up my hoe And I lied as I said that I never would go But came a cry from a man that I’d known Someone to whom rare compassion I’d shown And so I opened up my door To the man who promised me blood and war Oh woe to thee, ye people of order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you never rise again And leave me be and leave my friends I followed him far to a distant land Where he had been exiled by one single man His horns they were wicked, his power was great And you looked in his eyes and were swallowed by hate He took me to shelter, his humble abode A pitiful cavern his comrades called home He handed me bedding and bid me adieu As I sat and I pondered on what I should do For I craved violence, I craved to be free (I craved violence) From the people who wish to control me (I won’t hide it) Yes I believe in anarchy’s reign I know that dictators only bring pain (I believe in anarchy’s reign) Oh woe to thee, ye people of order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you never rise again And leave me be and leave my friends I prepared for battle, I hoarded and schemed But I did not know all was not what it seemed My allies unstable, their loyalty thin Yes we would have victory but what would we win? The battle was chaos, blood roared in my ear A chain of explosions, they looked up with fear They set up a leader and shouted hoorays And I shuddered and realized that I’d been betrayed Is this what you want, corruption and power? Well I won’t stand for it, this is my hour! Take on these beasts, I’m now friend to none If you think you’re a hero, then die like one! Oh woe to thee, ye people of order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you never rise again And woe to those who called me a friend I fled until silence was all I could hear The voices once screaming now hummed in my ears The cold it was lonely but I was alone And I promised that I’d not let blood taint my home But then came a message from my only friend “Oh warrior hide, or else this is the end They’ve bound up my wings and they hunt for your head They promised me justice; but they’ll see you dead!” They came to me with an armed battalion Held an axe to my innocent stallion And said “Now it is your turn to bow! See how the king has fallen now” They raised an anvil and laid me below (Laid him below) They thought to crush me painful and slow (Painful and slow) But I did live, and I did flee (Don’t let him go!) And I put my pick through the butcher’s teeth Oh, Woe to thee, ye people of order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you never rise again And beware of me and beware my friends I returned from battle all tattered and worn And found at my doorstep a child forlorn He told me his story, he told me his woes As I thought up a plan for our mutual foes I stealthily went to familiar lands As I gathered my weapons and laid out my plans But when the poor child spoke with friends he had known He abandoned our mission and left me alone I gathered my hounds and made them devour The allies I once knew; sweet friendships now sour And let explosions rain from on high As I watched them run and fight for their lives Oh woe to thee, ye People of Order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you’ll never rise again And woe to those who called me a friend I reveled in victory, time passed in a blink I took a new prodigy under my wing I watched him grow bolder, I watched him grow brave And I watched as they took him and locked him away A rescue was gathered, our plans were all honed To save my apprentice and the man that I owed All went as expected, we thought we’d escaped But they grabbed my apprentice, and there he was slain My rage and my grief flared brighter than flame I charged the warden, but he fled the blame And I did swear as he did flee I’d avenge the one he took from me I tracked down the man to the edge of the world With enemies turned allies, his white flag unfurled We dragged him back and left him to rot And I returned from the carnage I wrought Oh woe to thee ye people of order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you’ll never rise again And beware of me and beware of my friends Oh woe to thee ye people of order I hope your homes continue to smolder And that you’ll never rise again Now leave me be for this is the end

I need y’all to know that my husband has been humming this song around the house for the last several weeks bc he kept hearing it while I was working on it. And he doesn’t even know what 4/5 of the song is taking about 😂

"If you wish to defeat me, You must train for another 100 years" -TECHNOBLADE , THE ONE WHO NEVER DIES

One is not dead until one is forgotten... Technoblade never dies

Okay, random as ramble but: I love how this song just gets progressively longer and longer the more people cover it. Detailing the adventurers of the Blood God. I know that's often how ballad's go but this one is quite literally evolving in front of our eyes and not several hundred years ago. It's a testament to Techno and how many talented people he touched and inspired, its a testament to the collective storytelling of humanity, how we can create an ever evolving masterpiece from Silly Block Game. How its not some lost art form, but something we simply *know* how to do. Because this isn't just some Minecraft song now, its a story. A tribute to a man who people loved and hated, a legend for whom Bards the world over will sing and mythologize about for decades, i hope. A saga of a series of people having fun, of jokes and bits which, for all its silliness and fan drama, evolved from fun, to serious, was parodied back into a joke and then became more. Something that people can look back on and go "I was there, I remember that!" It seems stupid because it is. But its so profound because people have been, for better or worse, deeply affected by this silly little story. What started as a joke fight over some discs, turned into a tale worthy of any ancient epic. If you told me, without any prior context, that this was some modern rendition of an ancient hero's story, someone akin to Beowulf or Cú Chulainn, I'd believe you and ask from which land they hailed. *That's* the beauty for me! That this isn't some song about a pig guy from Minecraft, its an honest-to-god Ballad. Not some parody, an actual, real thing. And I was there. I watched it grow, and change tunes and be added to and chopped and diced. We aren't playing pretend anymore, this, for all intents and purposes, is a modern ancient ballad. And it spawned all from one man playing bloody *Minecraft* of all things! But you don't have to know any of that. That's what makes it so real for me, because the DSMP has evolved into an actual proper story but this? This song? Its about Techno, his adventurers, his wrath and his caring, yes. But its also so much more. Its about betrayal, about a kind and caring man who was stabbed in the back again and again despite simply trying to be a loyal friend. Like i said before, you have no need of prior knowledge to enjoy this, its a story unto itself and i can't decide if knowing its true history is better or not. And whats even better! (And yes, I am editing this comment as the thoughts come, kinda like a ballad eh? Anyway.) What's even better is that, I can tell you the true story, if I want too. It's not some ancient scrap or tune that historians, who are always feel as if their "someone else," some stranger who went off into some place and did some stuff, there is always some disconnect between an academic and a regular person even if there really isn't. Anyway, it isn't some mismatched fragment of a larger whole that we have to piece together and ascribe meaning to after the fact (yet anyway,) Its something that I, some person, can just explain. This is living memory and will be for decades to come. This is the collective creative process in action and its the first time I've personally seen it truly. You might've seen it before, but for me this is my first real taste. This feels like it belongs in the same vein as B-R5RB or Legend of the Five Rings. Its not IRL history but its had a tangible impact upon the collective psyche of humanity regardless. Its stories from stories from stories. And the even bester part is that its all random. Sure the DSMP is psyudo-scripted, but it's crucial points are always open for chaos. B-R5RB didn't have to happen, it was the actual politics of people clashing in a fictional universe. Nobody had to kneel for TotalBiscuit, but they did. The tournament results for LFR (is that the correct acronym? No its L5R don't shoot me i checked. Also I'm specifically talking bout the Day of Thunder but the story itself is great) were completely up to chance and yet the story is worthy of its own epic. It feels significant because it was. There was no script, no fad by the creator with no real stakes because the ending is preplanned. None of theses events had to happen like this, none of their peers who I can't remember rn had to be like that, but that was how the dice fell. And so we get these grand stories, formed not from a single talented mind but from the love and ambition of their people. And all of that, is something one person could've witnessed. And truly, if that *isn't* immortality, then what is? *Technoblade never dies!*

Technoblade stood for honour, for freedom from the oppression of government, for a better tomorrow. He spread anarchy and chaos to those who deserved it, he spread joy and kindness to those who earned it. He was known as the blood god to his enemies and known as The Blade to his allies. But to us, he will forever remain Technoblade, king of Minecraft. Woe to the people of order. TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES!!!

"If you think you're a hero, then die like one" I can see that being used in a novel

The new verse. The changed lyrics. The background vocals. The Latin. I'm just so amazed with all of it. It made me hardcore cry. Technoblade never dies!

For those curious, the Latin “Omnis sanguis deo sanguinis, canis eos comedent” translates to “All blood for the blood god, the dogs/hounds shall eat them”. As a classics major, couldn’t resist adding a touch of my favourite language 😋 Also! We’ve got a discord server! Link in the description!

A war ballad, a folk song, and the song I most associate with Techno's community. So many people have made their own variations on the lyrics and it's always a treat to see, this is no different. Technoblade never dies, for we do not let him.

I remember introducing my fiancé to Technoblade BECAUSE of this song. Somebody had made a Tik tok of the sound and put it over Tyr (Norse god he follows) and he was like “oh somebody made a song for Tyr” and I listened to it and laughed and told him it was for Technoblade and got to infodump about him and we watched his videos together and we both became fans. My partner and I went long distance (marine training) and even when I couldn’t think of what to write to him I just wrote about Technoblade’s newest videos and when we did finally get to text we’d watch his videos together. Thank you Technoblade for just bringing so much joy to everyone in your life time. May you rest in peace❤. Technoblade never dies❤❤

How does this already have over 100 likes?? IT HASN’T EVEN PREMIERED YET 😂

I miss him. But you know what? It gets easier knowing that there’s an unfathomable amount of other people like me, connected in the sadness that connect us.

Y’all, as someone who’s already previewed this video, you’re in for a treat. Knight’s really outdone herself :)

A man is not dead when his heart stops beating he dies when he is forgotten.sun Tzu art of war

I had a friend who used to sing the original song in a low register as she walked up flights of stairs, and how it echo'd up the stairs would scare the other girls in her dorm. I like how we now have what I consider a "full version" of the original song. Hands down, a great song made even better

Yep I was right!!! No one can forget him! He will never be forgotten.... We the voices will forever remember him

The Ballad has reached the end of its growth, but Alex's influence still reaches us all. Blood for the Blood God. Technoblade will never die.

Every version of the song just gets longer, and no one is complaining

"If you wish to defeat me, you must train for another 100 years" -Technoblade, The Undying

“Woe to those who call me a friend. Beware of me and beware my friends.” The change is subtle, but with friends like these who need enemies? Technoblade Never Dies!

Order means nothing without honor. Ride eternal, great soul.

There truly is naught wirse than a mentor when apprentice is slain.

This... is my new favourite version. The Ballad and Saga continues. E.

After hearing many many MANY different versions of this song, this is now my go to favorite. All the extra details put in, the extra verses, Everything. Love it all! Made me tear up a bit remembering everything about this man. Keep up the good work! Technoblade never dies

Actually though, regarding the prison part, would did Sam THINK would happen if he threatened Ranboo, that Dream would turn himself in? For a man he DOESN’T CARE ABOUT? And he had the gall to say he was doing the right thing.

"A man truely dies when his name is spoken for the last time." Technoblade will never die o7

There is no way in a 1000 years would I think this song was about a Minecraft SMP and not some old folktale. Great job!

I'm about to cry from being so happy and upset that this showed up in my recommended. Technoblade never dies!

this is the best version as of yet, and I think it is the one that certifies this a a true ballad since it grew with time and branched out, just like a real folk ballad would

That animation was amazing, and I love the rest of the art so much as well. It’s all full color! So incredible. I always like seeing how people change the parts. The overlaid chanting and such you added has a really cool effect. And the Latin??? Awesome. I really liked the new verse on the prison arc! Fantastic work by everyone on the team!

ive heard this song dozens of times but i think your the only person who honored Ranboo's arc with Techno, the potato king

THIS SLAPS SO HARD. THESE BARS ARE MORE FIRE THAN LMANBERG ON DOOMSDAY This is magnificent. The new verses. The tweaks to the original. The artwork. The Latin!!! Truly, you’ve built on everything this song already was and made something beautiful. Your six months of work showed in a big way

Technoblade’s legacy will forever live on. Legends never die, because Technoblade never dies!

Blood for the blood god, Technoblade will never die

the latin chanting on the back really sells this

Beyond hype. After making an egg arc conclusion with No More Saviours. Adding a final verse to this song will also close this arc neatly in my head. Really looking forward to see what you do with this!

CHAOS!!!!!!! TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES!!! BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Technoblade was taken away from us too soon. Thank you for the new song cover, rounding out the story he got to do before the end.

I need this on Spotify please, thank you.

This song is a perfect conclusion for the once living legend. His last great adventure fully covered. There will be no more, because he is too busy taking on the kingdom of god.

YOOOO I AM SO EXCITED

Was literally just singing the Mizzfish version and thought “Hey, I wonder if anyone ever added to it”, and lo and behold it got even longer. Hats off to you for keeping the legend alive (for one who is remembered cannot truly die) with such a brilliant rendition!

Ok first of all THAT WAS INSANE. I have this song on my playlist so I was singing along instantly but stumbled when you changed some of the lyrics BUT THEN IT KEPT GOING and omfg it was amazing Knight. Thank you for this, Legends never die

Woe to the People of Order will always have a special place in my heart as I was listening to it on my way home from work, Cami-Cat’s version I believe, on the day that we learned the news. This new cover with that last section is wonderful. Instant add to the playlist. Be proud as he would have been. The blade will never die.

Sadly will miss the premiere, but I’m SUPER excited to watch this when I can!!

I genuinely love this song, it feels as if you were reading the diary of a hero who is now a legend Great work and thanks for creating such a masterpiece!

Love how people are still creating projects to this day about him.

Every time someone covers this song, it makes me smile. They change the lyrics a bit, add verses to the end, they make the sound their own. It’s a true ballad commemorating Alex, and I’m glad that after these years we’re still here, singing of his great deeds

It gave me chills and I love it and it reminds me of Viking songs cause of the beat. But love it cause it’s my favorite song thank you it’s amazing

Rip technoblade, you will be remembered in the history of minecraft forever

Technoblade never dies

I WAS HERE

My favorite Techno Song getting a masterful cover?? Unbelievable HYPE :D

This is freaking sick what the heck!!!!!!!

IM SOO EXCITED!!!

Truly, good Knight, I must express my eager anticipation for the forthcoming song you have wrote. Indeed, I count myself fortunate to have caught a fleeting glimpse of its melody back in October, if memory serves me right. I therfore extend my heartfelt gratitude to you, good Knight of Endale, for your unwavering dedication and tireless efforts in crafting such great compositions. I am confident that I shall derive much enjoyment from this creation.

I remember hearing camicat’s version of this around the time he passed. Hearing your rendition of it, I’m crying all over again. The nostalgia and feels are crazy. Thank you for this.🥹❤️ Technoblade Never Dies!!!!!

oooh THIS IS SO GOOD THAT "if you think your a hero THEN DIE LIKE ONE" HITS SO HARD ITS AMAZING

This is GORGEOUS

This was beautiful! Beautiful art, beautiful cover, an absolute honor to the Blood God himself. Rest in Peace Technoblade. The legend never dies.

HELL YEA THIS PREVIEW SOUNDS SICK

That did not expect a new verse it's bamger!

No idea what Technoblade is, but damn this is a powerful song. I love it!

YEAAAAH

Rest in piece techno, you are missed

Techno, we all miss you. But you never died, because you live on in our hearts. You may have been lonely in that house, but we never left you. Blood for the blood god. Let loose the hounds of war. The ballad shall be sung forevermore. Technoblade never dies.

The one true king. *a king only dies when he is forgotten*. Technoblade never dies

Amazing song , Rest in Peace Technoblade.

Oooooo nice touch to have a crows call when techno gets philzas message

Left the fandom when he died, but recently im getting a bunch of old DSMP stuff on my feed again lmao. Oh well, its worth it for the nostalgia, even if I dont really like it anymore.

Legends never die and stories live forever

YOO THIS IS AMASING OMFG??

I'm starting to doubt that "for this is the end" will ever be actually true cause that version again hat a verse I didn't know before

I was expecting a lot, and yet, you still managed to surprise me with how damn good this is! the art, the voice, the emotions, the art (gotta mention how good it was twice), the lyrics changed, the sub texts, every damn thing is perfect! this, in the span of 9 minutes, became my favorite cover of this song! Good job KoE, you're just as amazing as always!

I was NOT expecting a cover of this song in 2024😭😭😭 this had me so emotional I swear😭 thank you for making this. Technoblade never dies!

whoa excited

You have done him a great justice. Technos story shall never be forgotten. You have taken an already inspiringly beautiful song, made it your own, and added to the majesty, like a true bard or poet of old. Technoblade Never Dies!

o7 technoblade. Happy the community is still active

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! THIS IS SO GOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAH ANOTHER SONG COVER I'LL KEEP ON REPEAT!!!

Just the little sample you’ve provided gave me chills! I will be eagerly awaiting this masterpiece to drop! OK WOW. That was absolutely incredible! I had chills through the whole thing! The extra lyrics are awesome and the old ones have this new fire brought to them because of your voice! I guess all I have left to say is Technoblade never dies!

Holy shit this was really, really good!

This is the best version by far

Why does that extra verse make it so much better? Like no disrespect to to the og song, but this is so much better

TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES 🗡️ 👑 🐷

This is awesome! I love the story it tells, but the music itself if beautiful down to the mixing of the background all the way through to the vocals! Well done, I really hope this gets the exposure it deserves ❤

The art and animations go crazy, somehow more than the actual song

How is one sad for a person they have never met? How can a person touch people's hearts without ever meeting them. Learn from Technoblade

This is going to be incredible

I've listened to this song 5 times already, it's amazing. I can see that you spent 6 months on it

Knight you HAVE outdone yourself; you took an already amazing and incredible song and somehow improved on it without completely changing it or making the original irrelevant. Also those last few verses hit HARD. Completely unexpected.

Such a beautiful cover, the music was perfect and powerful to listen to and the new verse was so well done! Now all that's left is to wait for someone to make one final verse for the passing of Techno and the saga will be completed.

Dude became an icon and then, at the peak of his popularity, died, immortalizing himself for eternity.

I'm glad to see someone who continued Techno's story. It sat badly that most people left it after doomsday when there were things he did after. Absolutely my favorite cover of the song.

Blood for the Blood God! Long live Technoblade for Technoblade shall Never die!

Technoblade never dies!!! o7 Love your CamiCat reference, KoE! The E chain I started in the live chat tho hehehehe

Techno will never die. May he rest in peace and his legacy always be present in those who idolised him. 07 fly high king

chills. literal chills.

A drop of blood for my lord, and tales of glory for his people's woes.
