Lyrics
Intro
male vocal, slow, whispering, heavy reverb
Deep in the forest the shadow roams,
Taking on a terrifying face,
Leading us through the darkest homes,
All night long through a cursed place.
Verse 1
male vocal, dark, low, monotone
In the black pools the sirens splash,
Dancing at night above the deep,
Their hollow eyes like lightning flash
Over waters where the shadows sleep.
Verse 2
male vocal, dark, low, monotone
The house-spirit hides in the steam,
Or crouches silent by the fire,
One breath — and lost inside a dream,
The candle trembles, fading higher.
Build
male vocal, tension rising, slow trap drums fading in
In the field on a scorching day,
Rising slowly from the ground,
Above the worn and dusty way
A whirling phantom spins around.
Chorus
female vocal, clear, ethereal, reverb fades out, bright synth
A bright fey brought us freedom then,
And light fell soft upon our face,
She promised us the world again —
A world of grace in our disgrace.
Drop
male and female vocal together, energetic, drums kick in
We grew bold and looked around —
All the darkness fled away,
Fields and rivers, open ground,
Air was clean and wide the day.
Outro
male vocal only, slow, heavy drone, pitch shifted down
But our fey has disappeared,
Or perhaps she simply died,
Shadows rooted, cold and feared,
The dark forest claimed our bones.
Fade out, low drone remains
