Persephone

The opening song from our Consonance GOH concert. It will be on The Midnight Contingent, coming out later this year. Special thanks to Harold Groot for this video! Persephone I am the herald of the winter Guiding the autumn from the summer sun For I am the maid They thought was stole away But they forget I had a choice For I am the bringer of springtime My mother, the goddess of the earth But o’er the fields I tread Amid the silence of the dead I live in the one place I have a voice No mistake could be unmade A curse is only evil if you fear it So many fear the touch of death Fear the one who walks beside him Every woman has her secrets Some are gem and some are stone Though I’m remembered in the autumn They only talk about my fall Fruit pulled from trees as I was pulled below You see, I outgrew the expectations Of a world that only sees a fragile flower Though I cannot forsake my name I will light the harve
