Seer

I wrote this song about the light we must hold on to and the dark beasts that crawl around within us.

lyrics

Out of the dark sky, into the low light, you have made yourself known.
Oh the sound of your breath, it caught me, I thought I was alone.
If you're a seer, I see you see me, I see the misteps I have made.
Not without kindness but to be honest, well I've been nothing but afraid.
High on the mountain, I've heard a siren and I think you have heard it too.
And when you come down, isn't it brilliant? Hasn't your heart been born anew?
Then what of this bristling, what of this bridling inside my ribcage every night.
Oh seer take me, make ready work of me, blind me now give me sight!

where there is a light you must keep it lit
where there is no light you must call on it

Low in the valleys their cries carry, the beasts lie readying themselves.
Hollow chested, oh bellow breasted they draw their bodies from the delves.
Oh that lone plea, it carries weight with me, how I empathize with that plight.
To hold a darkness, in so a lightlessness will come upon thee in the night.

where there is a light you must keep it lit
I have been the one, the only one on the mountain in the dark
where there is no light you must call on it
I have seen the faintest spark in the heaviest of hearts
where there is a light you must keep it lit
take me now by the hand back to the start
where there is no light you must call on it
hold me now, land and water meet and break apart
where there is a light you must keep it lit
where there is no light you must call on it
