“Undying Love” by Two Steps from Hell + Tomb Raider
I’ve already used this video for another song, but it fit so well I couldn’t resist. Though the title is misleading because it implies this song is about love, the music itself is thematically appropriate. This video is about finding the strength in yourself. Someone saves her from certain death, but it is ultimately up […]
“Machine Dreams” by Two Steps from Hell + Project Overdrive

“New World Order” by Two Steps from Hell + Prototype
