A short piano piece inspired by Erebus- the Greek god of darkness. 

Song of Erebus

A collaboration between my husband (Jesse "Jechael" Jolly) and me. Jesse wrote the lyrics, acoustic guitar, and provided the male vocals. I contributed the piano/instrumental parts and the female vocals. 

The song is about a young couple who dies in a car wreck. the lyrics are told in the perspective of the couple as they come to terms with the life they've left behind.

Lyrics:
I don't know how this came to be
And I don't know what's happening
One minute we're tearing up the street
Now you're all alone here with me
Now you just hang on baby girl
Because this ride ain't near over 
There's just one thing I want to know
But you don't have the answer

You're over there just as quiet as a church mouse
Trying like hell to figure this one out
Cold hands folded in your lap
Spinning your ring and watching the clouds
The color of your cheek is telling me
You're trying so hard to keep from crying
But it'll be alright, baby
It'll be alright, you'll see

Oh, I fancy I you right by my side
Beyond the day we die
But in the meantime 
We're in for the ride of our lives

There's just one thing I wanted to know
And your eyes beheld the answer
We left a lot behind down there
And it breaks my heart, we can't go back
But I see those gates up ahead
And they're shining just as bright as your smile
So hop on out baby girl
Let me get that one last time

Oh I fancy you right by my side
Beyond the day we die
But in the meantime 
We're in for the ride of our lives
