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

The original arrangement of this song was a collaboration between myself and my band including Gina Dvorak, Karla Manzur, Christopher Cox, Matthew Shepherd, and Lindsey Verrill. This current arrangement was deeply influenced by these minds.
Dana Falconberry & Medicine Bow's new album, From the Forest Came the Fire, guides us past the forest's edge, beneath the
surface of the water, and up the base of the mountain, leaving listeners awestruck at the meeting of natural landscapes and the supernatural forces that lay within them....more
I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
