Sorry, the vocals were the first thing I wrote.

This one was inspired by converting to a different religion. #firstfruits

The #neofolk sound was inspired by Helium Vola, but I think it sounds too much like them, so I will have to change it up if I want to officially release it. #electronic #fawmtronica

Lyrics

I found a seed
When I was alone
We'd all parted ways
The seed spoke of home

It led the way
When I placed it in earth
To a garden of like-minded souls
A place of rebirth

And we danced
We sang
We were as one
Building, healing
Here I belong

I found a vine
Growing out of my hair
It was berry and flower-adorned
There was plenty to share

I showed my souls
In the garden of mine
It was sinfully wrong, but so right
We devoured all the fruit out of spite

And we danced
We sang
We were as one
Growing, guiding
Here we belong

I found a thorn
Growing out of my vine
Growing out of my veins
Into my eyes

And they showed me theirs
Wounds and all
We indulged in our fruit
Until we "felt" full

And we danced
We sang
We were as one
Flowing, rising
Here we belong

[bridge]
I'll give you mine
If you give me yours
We are superior, who dine
On poison berries, won't you pour
Pour me a glass of that bitter wine
To keep them out, we'll shut the doors

Then I found a light
In the quiet of night
Curiosity beckoned me near
Such a beautiful sight

So I showed my souls
My kindred, they were
All the drunken ones whom I held dear
Sure they would concur

But they spat
They tore
Ate me alive
They hit
They swore
Left me to die

When they were gone
I looked up...you were there
Just like you said you would be...
