lyrics

I picked up the torch, that the stars once lit
And I fell to my knees at the river of styx
There I sung my pleas and my fears
I’ve cried without tears for 9,000 years

Let me rise, let me rise, back to the skies
I’ve cried without tears for 9,000 years

I’ve burnt lives and lived in lies
To stay hidden in shadow, my kin
But phoenix feathers fanned the cinders to flame
Some things can never be broken

Upon currents of smoke, I finally rose
The ashes shed from my skin like snow
Viscous void of indigo
Come guard my heart so I may go

Let me rise, let me rise, back to the skies
Come guard my heart so I may go.

I’ve flown so high, I’ve dug so low
Now walking the forest feels foreign.
A familiar fire now shines all around.
We all sometimes fear being broken.

Oh Sun song, how it’s been so long
Since I could gaze at you so bright.
But behind that great star is an ocean so vast,
Waves plunge deep into echoes of past.

Let me rise, let me rise, glide through the skies.
Waves plunge deep into echoes of past.

Flutter by, don’t close your eyes
Do not fear the memories awoken-
I’ll breathe sunfire, and you’ll sing stars.
Some things were meant to be broken.

When the sun sets, we can fly to new stars.
Through the cosmos so deep and to worlds afar
To the very edge of time and space
Where all pain and suffering seems erased.

Let us rise, let us rise, beyond the skies to the very edge of time and space
Let us fly, let us fly, beyond all time, where pain and suffering seem erased.

I’ve burnt lives and lived in lies
To stay hidden in shadow, my kin
But phoenix feathers fanned cinders to flames
Some things can never be broken.

Light and dark. Serene and strong.
A door is always open,
Just sing me your golden sun song.
Some things can never be broken.

about

Annalisee Syncrow Port Townsend, Washington

I like to write stories, sing, play guitar, frolic through woods, and stare at the sea.

I've been playing music for as long as I can remember. It started with singing to the trees and animals in the woods behind my childhood home, then piano, opera, until I decided I just wanted to experience music wherever with whatever.

I don't know what genre I play, nor what I write about.
