Lyrics for 'Armies of Your Heart' from Beatrix Runs - out 1/24/12

Say that you love me

don't let me slip away

break through illusion

and take a leap today.

Here at the crossroads

we're suspended in our minds

waiting and hoping

we will not be left behind.

 

Cause I want to be with you

but I need a place to start

I'm surrounded and captured

by the armies of your heart

And I feel so alive when I sing,

and I hope you've realized:

 

Higher and higher

and higher as we climb

birds on a wire

we're frozen in the sky

Paint me a doorway

and I'll magic you a key

tell me a story

where the hero sets me free...

 

Cause I want to be with you

but I need a place to start

I'm surrounded and captured

by the armies of your heart

And I feel so alive - so I sing

and I hope you've realized:

 

I will stay here

safe and sheltered in your palm

till it's time to wing towards the sun.

 

Tiger, tiger burning bright

running swiftly through the night

Hunted down and caught in flight;

who will save you now?

 

..cause I want to be with you

and I knew it from the start

I'm surrounded and captured

by the armies of your heart

And I feel so alive

When I sing and I follow

as the melody takes flight

Yeah, I feel so alive

when the song disappears into the sky

it is time.

 

(Banksy)

I make my sister a mix-tape at Christmas that covers the best music for each year. It's only January, but your song "Armies of Your Heart" has already won mine. It's rare to hear music that evokes precisely what it aims for. I especially love the nod to William Blake. Keep up the good work, Elizaveta!

These lyrics captured me, "Paint me a door way, and I'll magic you a key", I do so genuinely relate to each of your songs, and this is, indeed another of my favorites... my anticipation to be able to listen to the entirety of your new Album on one CD so that I can listen and enjoy it on, "repeat all" continues to grow..

PS...I love the cover as well! :)
