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.

Ninety-Two Days

“I have wanted you for ninety-two days. I would like to begin.”

Three months of silence broken by a single sentence at a latched door. The track that scores the first kiss the bond will not let either of them lie through.

Full lyrics

“Ninety-Two Days”

Intro

instrumental, ~15s on solo piano + cello drone on D

Instrumental.

Verse 1

Aedran low register

I have wanted you for ninety-two days

I have counted them in the silence between drills

I have counted them on the wall the way I counted three years

I have counted them, and I would like to begin

Verse 1 cont.

Mira high register

The partition is wool and a half a hand from the wall

The latch on the loft door has been mine to set or not

I have heard you breathing on the other side

And I have heard my own answer

Pre-Chorus

both voices, stripped

And the bond did not soften

And the bond did not lie

And the bond carried the count, and the count carried the want

Chorus

Aedran low / Mira high alternating

Ninety-two days

And I would like to begin

Ninety-two days

And the loft has not been quiet

Ninety-two days

And neither of us said no

Verse 2

Aedran low

I drew the wing on the wall I could not leave

I drew the wing on the wall that was the world

I am drawing it now on the partition with my eyes

And the partition is the wall I want to leave

Verse 2

Mira high

I have not unlatched the door

I have not crossed the partition

I have made a count of the count he made for me

And the count is a count I want to end

Pre-Chorus

And the bond did not soften

And the bond did not lie

And the bond carried the count, and the count carried the want

Chorus

Ninety-two days

And I would like to begin

Ninety-two days

And the loft has not been quiet

Ninety-two days

And neither of us said no

Bridge

both registers stacked in harmony

You have wanted me for ninety-two days

I have wanted you for ninety-two days

And we are still on either side of the partition

And we are not, and we are not

Final Chorus

Ninety-two days

And I would like to begin

Ninety-two days

And the loft has not been quiet

Ninety-two days

And the latch was always mine to set

And the latch was always mine to lift

About the track

Three months of silence broken by a single sentence at a latched door. The track that scores the first kiss the bond will not let either of them lie through.

The Black Bond is the first novel of The Skarn Reach, an Aurora Lyra romantasy. Every Aurora Lyra novel ships with a companion album — twelve original songs scored to the book’s emotional spine. This track is one of three in the Storm movement.

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

All twelve tracks

Hear the full arc.

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