The chorus for Pyre was actually written way back in 2017, but we never felt it had a match, song wise. We shelved it until a couple of years back when we started forming the blueprint for what would become Pyre. It was almost a ‘cut and paste’ job, with the themes, key, and general vibe of something we had written so long ago. The outro is collectively one of our favourite things we’ve ever written.
lyrics
Pyre
Our eyes refuse to rest
And show no sign of closing
The longest night is met
With breaking light (approaching)
We tread grounds that hold our weight But seeds of dread are flowering Can our will survive?
Or will the fire below devour it
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre
(But will you join me in the fall?)
And I can tell that you’re losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre
Behind these eyes I know
The love they bear is torn with heartache Will the world forget my name
And all I’ve done be erased?
Replaced?
Prise my eyes awake
Only with you will I embrace my sleep My demons are roaming beneath Bright burns the pyre
And I can tell that you’re losing the fight As light dissipates from your eyes Still bright burns the pyre
Hold me close
Don’t ever let me lose
The thing I love the most
Let die the embers
A beautiful and haunting EP. I hope Marjana continues to produce material like this, in addition to her work in iamthemorning and the newly-formed Maer collaboration with Anna Murphy. Eleventh Earl of Blah
A band that is a fairly recent discovery of mine, this is their second album of complex, multi-layered, and multi-dimensional folk-informed progressive rock music. I am in love with the amazing vocal and instrumental arrangements as well as their mastery of refreshing melodies and stories. A new favorite band! wafiii
