Man cutting it super close this week (2 minutes until deadline! AHHHH!!!!!!!)
This is an older song I wrote, maybe like 8 or so years ago? I never recorded it though, so I figured for an easier time this week I'd trying to bring this idea to fruition. Also it's a good excuse to practice more singing. The lyrics are about a servant of Dionysus waiting for her god to come take her to the afterlife.

‹ Lyrics
Stay with me until the end
Fade with the aether and the gray
And transcend
---
Waiting for the day that you'd come
Rain falls on my broken home
Incandescence undone
---
Herein lies chagrin
Have a failed you?
Am I the one, beneath the sun?
Are you there?
Do you care?
Will you show?
And bring what I've sought most?
---
Poured forth from a narrow fjord
A valley restored to the song of a drunken lord
This is where the salts collide
Leaving thought to madness
Solace in sore hands
And awaiting on the light of the unadorned fae
---
Altered wine of mortal sin
dipped in the tail of a comet
Fallen from on high
And uncovered in the sands of a moonlit shore
