Lyra Ashworth - Run And Tell The Priest (Lyric Video)

Описание: "Five who fell and found their thrones,
One who hid in blood and bones—
See the violet? See the beast?
Run and tell the village priest..."

——————————————

"Run And Tell The Priest" is a symphonic metal anthem from The Astral Dominion — a dark fantasy series featuring political intrigue, sapphic forbidden love, and a protagonist who sees patterns in everything.

Lyrics:

Seven riders at my back
Hooves like thunder, closing fast
Every heartbeat counts the distance
Forty-seven feet won't last
My mind won't stop its endless spinning
Cataloguing how I'll die
The angle of the fall beneath me
The cold indifference of the sky

They call it mercy when they hunt us
Holy fire, sacred chase
They've written scriptures for my burning
Drawn diagrams of my disgrace

So run and tell the priest I'm coming
Run and tell him what you've seen
The thing you made by always hunting
The monster born from what you mean
You wanted something to be frightened of?
You wanted devils in the dark?
Run and tell the priest I'm coming
And I'm carrying the spark

She threw herself before the lightning
Took the blast that meant my heart
And something in me snapped like kindling
Something old began to start
The patterns aren't a curse now—
They're a language I can speak
I see the threads that hold your power
I see exactly where you're weak

You built your light on stolen fragments
Forced it into shapes that scream
I hear them crying to be loosened
I'll show you what your mercy means

So run and tell the priest I'm coming
Run and tell him what you've seen
The thing you made by always hunting
The monster born from what you mean
You wanted something to be frightened of?
You wanted devils in the dark?
Run and tell the priest I'm coming
And I'm burning with the spark

Violet light streams from my fingers
Something ancient in my voice
Every enchantment you've been given
Unravels now—you have no choice
I reach into the weave and pull it
Watch your holy weapons die
You made me run for twenty years
Now watch me learn to fly

"Run," I say
And my voice sounds like something older
Something that remembers
What you did to earn this

So run and tell the priest I'm coming
Tell him everything you've seen
The Sixth Fragment isn't sleeping
The monster's waking from your dream
You wanted something to be frightened of?
You made your devils in the dark
Run and tell the priest
I'm here
And I am carrying
The spark

Run and tell the village priest...
Run and tell him what you've seen...
