Lyrics
[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]
