Salvage Lost Grace

A piece of fan-music Ah made as a diegetic siren's hypnotic call. The lyrics are sung in the Mawrhasine dialect of the Tritonid language, an in-universe language spoken in Marco Piana's comic 'The Big Empty Blue', of which I've helped a bit with conlanging.

Alchemi - Siren Song (Original Mix) [ESH510]

Siren Song ❰Chillstep❱

Chapters 2-3: Mother, Mother - Summary

At a mandatory Zenithian sermon, Mira struggles under the faith's suffocating expectations—restrictive dress codes, enforced note-taking, and the subtle hierarchies of devotion. While her mind escapes to visions of forest freedom, she endures humiliation from the devout who embody Zenith's purity obsessions.

That evening, desperate for answers about her absent mother, Mira confronts her father Elias. His cryptic response devastates her: "She's not like us, Mira. She walks a different path—a path we can never follow." Her violet eyes, so different from any human's, mark her as eternally separate, confirming her otherworldly heritage.

Seeking solace, Mira drags her best friend Kat to their secret sanctuary—a hidden waterfall deep in the ancient forest where the Wild Gods' influence remains pure. As Mira revels in the freedom of cold water and wild spaces, Kat systematically dismantles every reference to the old gods while pressing Mira to undergo Zenithian Baptism.

Their philosophical debate reveals the depth of Kat's transformation: Kat insists on absolute good, while Mira defends natural balance. Under mounting pressure and facing the loss of her only friend, Mira reluctantly agrees to speak with Lucien—a compliance that feels like a lie that may destroy her authentic self.

Mother, Mother
Track 02

Mother, mother...  
You walk a path I cannot follow...  
Cannot follow...

White walls closing in on me  
Incense choking what I breathe  
Dress too tight, can't find my skin  
They say kneel, but I can't give in  
Mmm-oh-ah... mmm-oh-ah...

Father's books won't speak her name  
"She's not like us," his voice in pain  
Violet eyes stare back at me  
Mirror shows what I might be  
Oh-way-oh... way-oh...

Mother, mother, where'd you go?  
Walk a path I'll never know  
Mother, mother, am I you?  
Is that why I can't make it through?

She's not like us... not like me...  
Different path... set my soul free...

But I RUN! I RUN! Through the ancient trees!  
Bare feet flying, finally free!  
The waterfall calls my name!  
I leap into the wild gods' domain!

Cold water holds me, I'm ALIVE!  
The forest knows I will survive!  
No white robes can bind my soul!  
The wild makes me whole!  
Makes me whole!

Kat says "be chosen, wash it clean"  
But I still hear what she's not seen  
Nymphs in pools and dryads near  
Old gods whisper what I fear  
Hey-yah-oh... hey-yah-oh...

"She walks a different path," he said  
Those words keep spinning in my head  
Am I the bridge she couldn't be?  
Between the wild and what they need?  
Oh-way-oh-way...

At the falls! At the falls!  
Where the old magic calls!  
Strip away what isn't real!  
Let the wild gods make me feel!

Hey-yah! Hey-yah! Oh-way-oh!  
Diving deep where shadows go!  
Hey-yah! Hey-yah! Oh-way-oh!  
This is all I need to know!

So I RUN! I RUN! Through the ancient trees!  
Bare feet flying, finally free!  
The waterfall drowns their prayers!  
I breathe the wild gods' sacred air!

Cold water holds me, I'm ALIVE!  
Mother's blood helps me survive!  
No baptism can claim my soul!  
The wild makes me whole!  
I AM whole!

Mother, mother...  
Your different path...  
Maybe leads...  
Back to me...  

Maybe I'm the path...  
You couldn't follow...

Mother, Mother

Chapters 4-5: Too Much Light Will Make You Blind - Summary

Mira reluctantly meets with Lucien to discuss her doubts, but finds herself trapped in a masterful display of psychological manipulation. Rather than answering her questions, he turns them back on her, identifying her deepest fears and desires with chilling precision. He positions her resistance as inevitable destiny toward conversion, suggesting she's already "walking towards the Light" whether she realizes it or not. His manipulation techniques—false intimacy, exploiting her lifelong sense of otherness, promising belonging while ensuring isolation—leave her more psychologically destabilized than before.

Unable to sleep as Lucien's words echo in her mind, Mira is drawn by an ancient calling into the forest at midnight. There she discovers a mysterious stone carved with pulsing symbols—remnants of pre-Silence magic. In her emotional breakdown, she pleads for help and receives an answer: a Nimwe appears, a luminous void creature with cat-like features and violet eyes matching Mira's own. The being warns that "too much light will make you blind" and reveals the void is not evil but creation itself, now threatened by unchecked light that will "choke the realm." She leaves Mira with a silver feather as proof and prophecy.

Despite this supernatural warning, Mira's crushing loneliness and need to belong drive her toward a decision she knows is wrong. She chooses to undergo the Baptism ritual, consciously trading her wild, untamed truth for the illusion of belonging.

Too Much Light Will Make You Blind  
Track 03

"Too much light will make you blind..." "...make you blind..."

I held a silver feather once  
A creature made of void and stars  
She sang to me of balance lost  
Of light that leaves eternal scars  
Ah-oh-ah... oh-ah...

Now father kneels in pristine white  
My dearest friend has lost her way  
And I stand here between two worlds  
Knowing which one I'll betray  
Way-oh-way... oh-way...

They say "join us, be chosen, belong"  
But the woods still sing their warning song  
I feel myself disappearing  
Into light that's searing  
I'm disappearing…

Too much light will make you blind  
When you cannot see, you'll follow  
I'm walking into my cage tonight  
Trading truth for something hollow

The Nimwe warned me, warned me well  
But loneliness is my private hell  
So I surrender what is mine  
To the light that makes me blind

Tomorrow they will wash me clean  
Of everything I used to be  
The forest gods will call my name  
But I'll pretend I cannot see  
Oh-way-ah... ah-oh...

Lucien smiles like he's already won  
His hand a shackle on my soul  
I nod and smile and play along  
While a future untold pays the toll  
Hey-oh-hey... oh-hey...

I'm sinking, sinking, sinking down  
(The Nimwe said beware)  
Into white robes, into their crown  
(But I'm too scared to care)

I'm fading, fading, fading out  
(The wild gods know I lied)  
This light is killing all my doubt  
(And everything inside)

Too much light will make you blind  
When you cannot see, you'll follow  
I'm walking into my cage tonight  
My spirit breaking, hollow

The Nimwe warned me, I know it's true  
But I'm too afraid to be without you  
So I'll wear white and speak their lines  
Let the light make me blind  
Make me blind...

Silver feather locked and hidden  
Wild prayers now forbidden  
I am walking to my drowning  
In the light, in the light  
In the blinding light...

"Too much light..."  
"...will make you..."  
"...blind..."

I know... I know...  
But still I go... Still I go...

Too Much Light Will Make You Blind

Chapter 8: Baptism - Summary

The baptism ceremony reveals Zenithian conversion's true nature. As Lucien channels blinding white light into Mira, she experiences violent intrusion—not salvation but annihilation designed to erase personality and rewrite consciousness. However, something ancient in her blood creates an impenetrable barrier that completely repels Zenith's power. For the first time ever, Lucien's ritual fails. He maintains the facade of success to preserve his authority, but both now know the truth: Mira is immune to the supernatural mind control that has successfully converted everyone else, and something inhuman lurks behind Lucien's divine persona.

Something Ancient Rises  
Track 05

Barefoot on the marble cold  
A thousand eyes, a thousand souls  
Watching, waiting, wanting more  
As I walk toward the altar door  
Mmm-ah-oh... ah-oh...

White gown hanging like a shroud  
Incense choking, lilies bowed  
Every step echoes my fear  
The golden light is drawing near  
Oh-way-ah... way-ah...

Kat is praying for my soul  
While I'm about to lose control  
The marble drains my body's heat  
As I lay down in my defeat  
Hey-oh-hey... oh-hey...

His hand upon my head like fire  
The vow I speak is born of liars  
"I give my body, mind, and soul"  
But something stirs beyond control...

He's reaching in, he's reaching deep  
Into the places where I sleep  
Burning light tries to erase  
Everything about my face

But something ancient starts to rise  
Something he can't recognize  
From blood and bone, from shadow's keep  
A power that was always asleep  
Always asleep...

Lifted up into the air  
The congregation stops to stare  
They think it's grace, they think it's gold  
But I can feel him lose his hold  
Ah-yah-oh... yah-oh...

His fingers twitch against my skin  
He cannot make his light get in  
Behind his smile I see the crack  
The shadow watching, watching back  
Way-oh-way... oh-way...

Not my will, not my choice  
Something deeper finds its voice  
Ancient blood beneath my skin  
Won't let Zenith's light come in

He pushes harder, I push back  
Not with light but something black  
Not evil, no—just something free  
Something wild protecting me  
Protecting me!

He's pulling back, he's letting go  
There's something here he doesn't know  
The Light recoils from what I am  
His perfect ritual is a sham

And in his eyes I see the truth  
Behind the light, behind the proof  
A shadow wearing holy clothes  
And now he knows... he knows I know  
He knows I know...

"Rejoice!" he cries to hide his fear  
"Another Chosen standing here!"  
They cheer and clap and sing their praise  
While darkness swims behind his gaze

I stand before them, playing my part  
With something ancient in my heart  
Untouched by light, unmarked, unknown  
A wild thing wearing Chosen clothes  
Wearing Chosen clothes...

Something Ancient Rises

Chapters 9-10: Forsaken - Summary

Chapter 9 introduces "Forsaking"—a fate worse than death where the condemned becomes socially dead, invisible to all despite still existing. Lucien uses a man who encountered Nimwe in the forest as example. The man's wife, who reported him, is praised as exemplary while clearly traumatized. Lucien establishes a surveillance state where family must report each other for signs of doubt, declares the forest off-limits, and delivers a direct warning to Mira through prolonged eye contact.

Chapter 10 shows the brutal reality of being Forsaken. Lucien brands the man with supernatural white light that burns through soul and flesh, marking him with a glowing circle of eternal exile. Stripped and humiliated, the victim desperately seeks his family. His wife shields their children and completely rejects him. The crowd's contempt escalates from spitting to mob violence. Lucien watches impassively before warning Mira: "Such is the fate of those who listen to the Nimwe."

Forsaken
Track 06

I stood before the altar in my robe of holy white  
My husband on his knees below, condemned by Heaven's light  
They said to speak his name aloud would stain my children's souls  
So I turned my face to stone and let the silence take its toll

This is how the light devours  
This is how we break apart  
Stone by stone and hour by hour  
Tearing out each beating heart

We were family, we were whole  
Now we're shadows in the sun  
They save the body, damn the soul—  
Look what we've become  
What we've become...

He crawled to me in daylight with our children at my side  
Begged to say goodbye to them—I felt my mercy die  
I closed my eyes against him as the righteous gathered near  
I did what faith required of me, though it cost me dear

I did what faith required of me  
I set my husband's spirit free  
But in the dark when no one sees  
I hear him calling through the trees...

Mmm-ah-oh... ah-oh...

This is how the light devours  
This is how we break apart  
Stone by stone and hour by hour  
Tearing out each beating heart

We were family, we were whole  
Now we're shadows in the sun  
They save the body, damn the soul—  
Look what we've become  
What we've become...

We were brothers, we were sisters  
Till the Light declared us wrong  
Now we're phantoms, now we're nothing  
Singing exile's bitter song

Oh-way-oh... way-oh...

They stripped him bare before us all  
The priest's hand burning bright  
We watched the mark sear through his flesh—  
The brand of banished light

I saw them spit upon his skin  
I saw them throw the stones  
The children screaming for their da  
While mother turned to bone

The marketplace ran red that day  
The faithful sang and jeered  
And Lucien stood above it all  
With neither smile nor tear

This is how the light devours  
This is how we break apart  
Stone by stone and hour by hour  
Tearing out each beating heart

We were family, we were whole  
Now we're shadows in the sun  
They save the body, damn the soul—  
Look what we've become  
What we've become...

They said the Nimwe whispered lies into his willing ears  
That darkness called him to the woods and fed him on his fears  
But in the silence of the night when Zenith's eye won't see  
I wonder if the Nimwe's voice was kinder than our creed

I did what faith required of me  
I set my husband's spirit free  
But in the dark when no one sees  
I hear him calling through the trees...

Mmm-ah-oh... ah-oh...

This is how the light devours  
This is how we break apart  
Stone by stone and hour by hour  
Tearing out each beating heart

We were family, we were whole  
Now we're shadows in the sun  
They save the body, damn the soul—  
Look what we've become...

We were brothers, we were sisters  
Till the Light declared us wrong  
Now we're phantoms, now we're nothing  
Singing exile's bitter song

Oh-way-oh... way-oh...

What we've become...  
What we've become...

Calling through the trees...

Mmm-ah-oh...

Forsaken

Chapters 11-13: Still Water - Summary

Chapter 11 "Light as a Feather": Summoned to Lucien's quarters, Mira discovers he found the Nimwe feather hidden in her trinket box—her father unwittingly granted him access to their home. Lucien's supernatural ability to detect magic makes denial impossible. When Mira attempts to deny knowledge, Lucien threatens to plant the feather in Kat's home, resulting in her immediate Forsaking and certain death. The chapter culminates in his ultimatum: marry him to prove devotion to Zenith's Light, or watch Kat die for a crime she didn't commit. The "proposal" is "a command wrapped in the illusion of choice," using Mira's love for Kat as the ultimate weapon.

Chapter 12 "Still Water": At the pier, Mira finds even nature corrupted—the wind has vanished, the ocean lies unnaturally still. When Kat arrives asking about Lucien's meeting, Mira is forced to perform excitement about the proposal, unable to reveal it's coercion without endangering her friend. Kat's joy demonstrates her complete conversion and inability to recognize Mira's distress. The chapter portrays Mira's psychological fracturing as she maintains the facade while internally "splintering into a thousand irreparable shards."

Chapter 13 "In the Eyes of Zenith": The forced wedding unfolds as public spectacle while masking private battle. During vows, Mira demonstrates resistance by crafting double-meaning responses—"I give myself to you, as the dawn yields to the day" (knowing dawn doesn't choose to yield). Lucien's vows reveal explicit ownership: "from this day forward, you are mine." The ceremony concludes with a forehead kiss as symbolic claiming.

Still Water
Track 07

Can't breathe... can't scream...
Still water in my lungs...  
Oh-ah-oh... drowning...  
While standing in the sun...

I want to tear my throat wide open  
Spill the truth like crimson wine  
Tell them what crawls beneath his smile  
How his kiss tastes like brine

But still water fills my mouth  
Every time I try to speak  
The monster's fingers in my chest  
Playing with what makes me weak  
Oh-way-oh... can't bleed it out...

My skin is screaming underneath the white  
My bones are breaking with each step I take  
But all they see is still water  
Perfect bride without a wake

Still water in my throat, I'm choking  
On the vows I cannot say  
That he's eating me alive  
While they throw flowers in my way

My forest wedding dies inside me
Moss and earth turned into stone
I'm swallowing still water
While the monster takes me home
Takes me whole... swallows whole...

They laced me up in white surrender
Pulled the corset till I split
But the real chains are invisible
The ones that make me submit

I had a lover made of lightning
Who would dance between the trees
Now I'm marrying still water
That will freeze me by degrees
Mmm-ah-oh... freeze my screams...

If I could vomit up the truth
If I could bleed it on their floor
Show them how his touch devours
How he feeds on what I was before!

But still water keeps me quiet
Still water keeps me tame
I'm dissolving in his presence
Forgetting my own name...
My own name... what's my name?

Tomorrow he'll unhinge his jaw
And swallow what remains of me
But tonight they celebrate
The still water ceremony

My father kissed my forehead
Where the monster's mark will go
He thinks he's giving me away
He'll never, never know
Oh-ah-oh... never know...

Still water in my throat, I'm drowning
In the daylight, dressed in lace
The congregation's singing hymns
While something takes my face

My forest lover's just a carcass
That I carry in my chest
Still water is dissolving
Everything I once possessed
Once confessed... now suppressed...

I cannot slit my throat to tell you
(Still water, still water)
What waits beneath the gold
(Be still now, be still)

The monster wears a holy face
(Still water, still water)
And I'm already cold
(So cold... so cold...)

Can't... breathe...
Still water...
In my lungs...

Still Water

Chapters 14-18: Holy Ghost - Summary

Entering Lucien's sterile home, Mira finds no trace of her belongings. He creates vulnerability through forced intimacy before dismissing her to sleep alone. Her father and Kat are both sent on dangerous missions, leaving her completely isolated. When she confronts Lucien, he gaslights her before the marriage is consummated against her will. She experiences severe dissociation and psychological fragmentation. Trapped in ongoing violations, she exists in dissociative trauma where time becomes meaningless. Lucien forces her return to public life where she must perform as the devoted wife while internally dissolving. He then employs calculated false tenderness that forces involuntary physical responses, weaponizing her body's reactions to create devastating shame and confusion.

Holy Ghost
Track 08

I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost in his house  
(In his house, in his house)  
I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost, can't get out, can't get out  
(Can't get out, can't get out)

Step inside, they close the door behind me  
White and gold but nothing here defines me  
Hands on skin I never said could touch  
"You're blessed," they say, but blessings shouldn't hurt this much

Father gone to spread the holy word  
Best friend sent where monsters haven't heard  
Left me here with hymns and empty walls  
Husband, shepherd, predator—he's all

They see the ring, they see the vow, they see me smile  
But I've been underwater for a while  
Holding breath, holding still, holding on  
To a girl who's been erased since I put this white dress on

Wash it off, wash it off, but the stain won't fade  
(Won't fade, won't fade)  
Pray it off, pray it off, but I still feel the weight  
(The weight, the weight)  
I'm a ghost in the house where they worship his name  
(His name, his name)  
Holy ghost, holy ghost, and I'm drowning in shame  
(In shame, in shame)

Numb, numb, going numb when he enters the room  
Float up, float away, leave my body consumed  
Scrub raw in the morning till the water runs red  
Can't wash off the feeling that I'm already dead

They smile in the marketplace, "You're glowing, my dear"  
I'm smoke, I'm a shadow, I'm not really here  
Mirror shows a stranger in a borrowed face  
Wearing his name like it's taking my place

And the cruelest part? (What's the cruelest part?)  
When the vessel betrayed, when it played its part  
Body said yes when my mind screamed no  
Now the shame's another chain I can't let go

Wash it off, wash it off, but the stain won't fade  
(Won't fade, won't fade)  
Pray it off, pray it off, but I still feel the weight  
(The weight, the weight)  
I'm a ghost in the house where they worship his name  
(His name, his name)  
Holy ghost, holy ghost, and I'm drowning in shame  
(In shame, in shame)

They call him light  
(But I see the dark)  
They call him blessed  
(But I bear the marks)  
They call it sacred  
(But it feels like theft)  
They call me wife  
(But there's nothing left)

Serpent in the shepherd's clothes  
Monster that nobody knows  
Everybody bows and prays  
To the man who takes and takes and takes

But there's a forest that remembers me!  
There's a blade that could set me free!  
There's a girl beneath this holy ghost!  
And she's the one I'm saving most!

Walk it off, walk it off, to the woods I'll fade  
(I'll fade, I'll fade)  
Take it off, take it off, all the white, the shame, the cage  
(The cage, the cage)  
I'm a ghost leaving the house where they worship his name  
(His name, his name)  
Holy ghost, holy ghost, but the wild calls my name  
(My name, MY NAME)

I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost  
(But not for long, not for long)  
I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost  
(Gonna be gone, gonna be gone)

He can keep his heaven...  
I'm going home

Holy Ghost

Chapter 20: Whispers in the Woods - Summary

At the hidden waterfall where she plans to end her life, Mira raises Lucien's stolen dagger to her chest. Her desperate plea—"Please… give me a reason to live"—triggers supernatural intervention. A mysterious white cat with violet eyes appears, then a Nimwe emerges from the mist. The being addresses her as "little starling" and promises "This too shall pass" before touching her forehead. This contact triggers a violent magical awakening—power erupts from within her as violet light explodes from her body. Something "vast and long-buried" rises to the surface, something that "had always been there—dormant, restrained, waiting." The awakening shatters the barriers containing her magic. The dagger falls forgotten into the pool as she realizes: she doesn't have to die to escape. She can run. The awakening gives her new purpose and the power to flee.

Run From the Light
Track 09

To the falls, to the falls, to the falls I go  
(Let me go, let me go)  
To the deep, to the dark, to the undertow  
(Let me go, let me go)

Through the vines, through the green, through the shadowed way  
Past the moss, past the stones where we used to play  
Dagger cold against my chest, silver in my hand  
One last breath, one last step to the promised land

Violet eyes watching from the trees  
Soul burning through the mist  
Something ancient, something wild  
Something I can't resist

I see through the holy lie  
I see the predator's eyes  
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done  
Tonight I run!

Run, run, run from the monster in the light  
Run, run, run, I'm getting out tonight  
Run, run, run to the forest, to the wild  
Run, run, run like a feral child

He can keep his heaven, keep his throne  
I'm running to the woods, I'm going home  
Run, run, run from the monster in the light  
Run, run, run, I'm getting out tonight!

He calls it love, I call it chains  
He calls it blessed, I call it pain  
Wolf dressed up in shepherd's clothes  
But the forest called and now I know

The Nimwe showed me violet flame  
Whispered "starling" - my real name  
I don't have to die to be free  
I just have to run, just have to flee

I see through the holy lie  
I see the hunter in disguise  
I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done  
Watch me run!

Run, run, run from the monster in the light  
Run, run, run, I'm getting out tonight  
Run, run, run to the forest, to the wild  
Run, run, run like a feral child

He can keep his heaven, keep his throne  
I'm running to the woods, I'm going home  
Run, run, run from the monster in the light  
Run, run, run, I'm getting out tonight!

Hey-nim-we, hey-nim-we, oh-way-oh...  
Hey-nim-we, hey-nim-we, ah-yah-ah...

Monster, monster in the holy light  
(Run away, run away)  
Monster, monster thinks he owns my life  
(Run away, run away)

But I'm faster than his chains tonight  
(Run away, run away)  
I'm wild, I'm awake, I'm taking flight  
(Run away, RUN AWAY)

He'll wake up and I'll be GONE!  
Into the forest, into the dawn!  
He can't follow where I'm going!  
The wild is mine and I AM RUNNING!

Run, run, run from the monster in the light  
Run, run, run, I'm getting out tonight  
Run, run, run to the forest, to the wild  
Run, run, run like a feral child

He can keep his heaven, keep his throne  
I'm running to the woods, I'm going home  
Run, run, run from the monster in the light  
Run, run, run, I GOT OUT TONIGHT!

Run, run, run, run away  
(I got away, I got away)  
Run, run, run, run away  
(I got away, I got away)

From the monster, from the light  
(I got away, I got away)  
Into the forest, into the night

I GOT AWAY!

Run From the Light

Chapters 21-22: Into the Unknown Wild - Summary

Chapter 21: Mira returns to gather survival supplies, recognizing "running into the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on her back. Lucien arrives unexpectedly, sensing something fundamentally different about her: "You feel… strange. There is something on you, something… in you." His supernatural sensitivity to her magical awakening creates new dangers. The stress causes her to vomit. She realizes with horror that her transformation has left detectable traces.

Chapter 22: During a Zenithian service, a mysterious explosion destroys part of the Hall—caused by Forsaken rebels bombing it. In the chaos, Mira attempts escape but Lucien confronts her, triggering violent manifestation of her void magic—"black tendrils" that burn his flesh. His shocked revelation—"She's Nimwe"—suggests she may not be human with awakened powers but rather a supernatural being who believed herself human. Fleeing into the forest, she encounters a terrifying Beastborn. A mysterious woman rescuer appears: "Less ya wanna take on that beast... I'm the best shot ya got." Mira chooses to trust this stranger, vanishing into the unknown.

Into the Unknown Wild
Track 10

Heaven's bleeding golden light  
The altar cracks, the temple sighs  
Something holy splits the night  
And I'm the ember, I'm the fight

The saints are falling from their thrones  
A thousand colored pieces rain  
I'm gathering the fragments of my soul  
Racing through this blessed hurricane

My whole life sewn in leather seams  
Every secret, every prayer  
I turn to find him in the smoke  
Standing between me and the air

Do I stay with the devil I know?  
The monster wearing holy robes?  
Or do I run into the night?  
Into the dark, away from his light?

Into the unknown wild I go  
Where the shadows breathe and rivers flow  
I don't know what's waiting there  
But anything's better than his prayers

Into the unknown, into the trees  
Where the darkness might just set me free  
The devil I know wants me to stay  
But I choose the wild, I choose to run away  
Into the unknown wild  
Into the unknown wild

His fingers close around my wrist  
I panic and the shadows twist  
Black tendrils tear from my skin  
Something ancient waking deep within

He screams my secret to the sky  
"She's Nimwe!" - but I won't die  
Not here, not now, not in his cage
I'm running on adrenaline and rage

The forest looms ahead of me
Darkness promising I could be free
But I don't know what monsters hide
In the shadows on the other side

Into the unknown wild I go
Where the shadows breathe and rivers flow
I don't know what's waiting there
But anything's better than his prayers

Into the unknown, into the trees
Where the darkness might just set me free
The devil I know wants me to stay
But I choose the wild, I choose to run away
Into the unknown wild
Into the unknown wild

Hollow eyes in the forest deep
Beastborn prowling while I weep
A stranger's voice cuts through the night
"I can save you if you trust me right"

The evil that I know would break me
The monster in the light would take me
Drag me back to white and gold
Back to being bought and sold

But the unknown - the unknown calls my name
The wild is dangerous but I'm not the same
I'd rather die free in the woods I love
Than live as his possession in the house of his god

Into the unknown wild I run
Trading his chains for the rising sun
I don't know what tomorrow brings
But tonight I'm free, tonight I have wings

Into the unknown, into the night
Where the forest swallows all his light
The devil I knew almost made me stay
But I chose the wild, I ran away
Into the unknown wild
Into the unknown wild
Into the unknown wild

I don't know what's out there
But I know what's behind me
And I'll take my chances with the dark

Fire behind me
Forest ahead
The old life dying
A new one instead
Into the wild...
Into the wild...
Into the wild...

I'm free

Mileena Rayne is a talented songwriter from Minnesota, USA. Her upbringing was unconventional, as she spent most of her childhood being raised by her grandparents. During her teenage years, Mileena experienced a period of instability, moving between various homes before achieving independence at the young age of 16. Music has always been a constant in her life, providing an escape and a source of inspiration, giving her strength through challenging times.

Growing up surrounded by music, Mileena was fortunate to learn the piano, which became a foundation for her musical journey. She joined an orchestra, initially playing the viola before switching to the cello, and also learned to play the guitar while dabbling with the violin. With her life experiences shaping her lyrics as if they were entries from a personal journal, Mileena's songs capture the raw emotion and stories of her life, resonating deeply with listeners who connect with her authenticity.

Beyond her passion for music, Mileena is also the author of the Blood of the Wild Gods book series and is deeply committed to the healthcare industry. She currently works as a Registered Nurse and has over a decade of experience in long-term care, pharmaceutical research, and psychiatric care. A devoted mother to her two precious daughters, she balances her responsibilities with her creative pursuits, seamlessly weaving her passions into every aspect of her life.

Poetry and Music are two of my biggest passion, they are vehicles that drives my imagination, and medicine for my heart. And I have loved putting my poetry to songs. 
I love my traditional Vietnamese stringed instruments, and I love my Heavy Metal,  but I'm PolyJamorous XD
