Pyrene - Live Performance by Sarah DeShields

Pyrene, performed live at East Boone Listening Room, 2024
For Pyrene, the body of the mountain, the unsung heroine of grief.
Lyrics:
"I am a mountain of brothers, fathers, sons
They climb round my body and they leave me when they're done
That ridge that you loved as a boy was my backbone
For I am a mountain of brothers, fathers, sons
My roots grow down deep
Heavy, heavy, heavy
My sorrow grows long
Steady, steady, steady
I am a rock of silence, say the trees
I sang to them my story but they led me to the beasts
On my shoulders they grow, they could never bend low, it's alright
For I am a rock of silence, and I don't blame the trees"
