LYRICS: RISE FROM THE ASHES Red my beak is dyed Wings span far and wide Ember is my eye Rise from the ashes Sing to the darkness I’m listening We take our twin pledges Rise from the ashes We ascend on tar-bright wings Soar into the falling night You’re my sister soul Ember-born of a dim doubt Now you’re branded with my mark And I protect you Red my beak is dyed Wings span far and wide Ember is my eye Rise from the ashes Sing to the darkness I’m listening We take our twin pledges Rise from the ashes We glide on powerful wings Stride into our certainty You’re my sister soul Cinders forged in long-forgot fear Roar into a blazing pyre But you protect me We fly on unfettered wings Swear that this be by our will You’re my sister soul Oath-bound to each other by words seared into my skin Never betray you
This is epic. She is the greatest music artist on the planet today. Can't wait to see the live version. The English lyrics are included in the credits.
This song depicts a "Volva" using "Seidr" (chanting) to transform (shape-shift) into a raven to cross the veil and converse with her sisters on the other side.
in some parts this reminds me of her album "larva", where she also uses some heavier sounds. but like a circle, back to the roots but on this way she uses some of her repertoire she gained during the time. what do you think, @alibennett78 ?
