about

This song was written by Marya Stark inspired by bones and a time before the internet. ‘Fly Away’ is evocative of prophecy, dreams, and the magic at midnight.

By this point, it was towards the end of summer months of 2020, several waves of chaos into the lockdown, and we were riding the many uprisings and divisions within the culture.

Leah threw out the idea of needing respite from all the internet dumpster fires that were wreaking havoc on our online communities, and called for a song to reach into the healing power of our ancestral magics. Thus, the topic we chose was ‘bones’, with the style being that which was way before the internet.

This song tells the story of a dream of a young woman who is being called into an initiation at the temple. She has visions of her sacred women kin dancing around in a star-stepping pattern as a practice of oracular divination and invocation prayer.

lyrics

Marrow of the hallow
Bone from the shadow
Sparrow to the meadow
Fly away fly away
Feather flight and fallin
Stormy seas a calling
Whispered night you’d stolen
Fly away fly away

Wings on the wind of a borrowed song
Take me to the temple wanting
Love and her lilting petals drawn
Ever in the dance a dawning
Night and her maiden vessels open
Arms to the red moon raining
Tales from the bone, garden of stone
Scripts in the flames remaining

Cast yer bones
In the circle
Step to the left
Arms stretched
Toward constellations
Rain down through the memories
Weaving the threads
Her tapestry held
The shape of a prophecy
