Out of Darkness
Out of Darkness is the opening song of Devil May Cry 4, performed by Aubrey Ashburn, and seen in-game being sung by Kyrie during a sermon for the Order of the Sword. It serves as one of the leitmotifs of the game, heard in the background of the Divinity Statue menu, while viewing the History of DMC video, and numerous other times throughout the game.

| Artist: Aubrey Ashburn |

| Listen to my voice calling you, |
| Calling you out of darkness. |
| Hear the devil's cry of sin, |
| Always turn your back on him. |
| With the wind you go, |
| Still I dream of your spirit leading you back home. |
| I will give my gifts to you, |
| Grow your garden, watch it bloom. |
| The light in your eyes an angel up high, |
| Fighting to ease the shadow side. |
| Hearts will grow though having to bend, |
| Leaving behind all things in the end. |
| Listen to my voice calling you, |
| Calling you out of darkness. |
| Hear the devil's cry of sin, |
| Always turn your back on him. |
| On him... |
| On him... |
Trivia[]
- As it is sung by Kyrie within Devil May Cry 4 itself, this makes it one of two songs to exist in the world of Devil May Cry; the other being "Devils Never Cry".
- Because the lyrics reference a figure being "called out of darkness", "turning [his] back on [the devil's cry of sin]", and "fighting to ease the shadow side", the song can be interpreted as a hymn praising the Legendary Dark Knight, Sparda, who the Order of the Sword worship as their savior.
