Do I need to read The Black Bond to enjoy this track?

No — every track is written to stand on its own as a folk-orchestral song. But if you read the book first, the track becomes scored to a specific scene, and the lyrics become diegetic.

“Mira”

Intro

instrumental, ~20s on solo piano stating bond motif transposed C-Bb-A-F

Instrumental.

Verse 1

Aedran low register

I dreamed her mother's beam

I dreamed the smoke I have not breathed

I dreamed her in a barn that was not mine

And the bond carried what the dream was for

Verse 1 cont.

Mira high register

I dreamed his brother on the field

I dreamed the dust I have not seen

I dreamed him on Vyrak's wing the last warm day

And the bond carried what the dream was for

Pre-Chorus

both voices stripped

And the bond did not soften

And the bond did not lie

And the bond was the door we did not close

Chorus

Aedran low / Mira high alternating

He said my name once

She said: I know

He said the bond is not only the magic

She said: I know

Verse 2

Mira high

I had been a witness

I had been a girl

I had been a name he was not allowed to say

And he said it once

Verse 2

Aedran low

I had been a sentence

I had been a number

I had been a man she was not allowed to feel

And she felt me

Pre-Chorus

And the bond did not soften

And the bond did not lie

And the bond was the door we did not close

Chorus

alternating

He said my name once

She said: I know

He said the bond is not only the magic

She said: I know

Bridge

solo voice + cello, motif re-states under

There was silence between us

And the spiral lifted slightly from my arm

There was a name we said once

And the saying was the bond

Final Chorus

both registers stacked in harmony

He said my name once

She said: I know

He said the bond is not only the magic

She said: I know

Mira

I know

The crash, the dream-cross, the five-word conversation, the latched door. The four tracks that contain the book's pivot.

All twelve tracks

Twelve songs in three movements. Threshold. Storm. Cost. The album scored to the spine of The Black Bond.
