“Death Stranding” is the first single from the soundtrack for Kojima Productions' self-entitled video game.
It’s the first single by CHVRCHES after their 2018 album Love Is Dead.
CHVRCHES channel the themes of Death Stranding, and Hideo Kojima’s ethos as a whole, as they sing about holding out hop...
[Verse 1]
Let's make a toast to the damned waitin' for tomorrow
When we're played out by the band drowning out our sorrows
What will become of us now at the end of time?
We'll be fine, you and I
Let's draw a line in the sand, keep it straight and narrow
We had it all in our hands, we begged and then we borrowed
What will become of us all at the end of love
When we've stopped looking up?
[Chorus]
You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
[Verse 2]
Let's tell the truth, just for once, asking for an answer
Now that it's all said and done, nothing really matters
What will become of us all if we dare to dream
At the end of the scene?
[Chorus]
You can take my heart
Hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
[Verse 3]
Let's open up to the sky, askin' it for closure
'Least we can say that we tried, but it's never really over
What will become of us all at the end of the line?
Will we live? Will we die?
[Chorus]
You can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark
And you can take my heart
And hold it together as we fall apart
Maybe together we can make a mark in the stars we embark
And keep us together as the lights go dark

We were honored to be involved in the project. The concept of DEATH STRANDING is so unique and really felt to us like it was challenging people to care about the world they create—in the game and otherwise. We wrote this song specifically for DEATH STRANDING, thinking of the themes of the game and w...
