Maer - Sister

Maer is a new dark folk/chamber prog project from Anna Murphy (Cellar Darling) and Marjana Semkina (Iamthemorning). The first single Sister also features Benjamin Baret of Ne Obliviscaris and Keli Guðjónsson of Agent Fresco.

Sister is our first message to the world. A message of love and loss, and denial. Thank you to all the wonderful people that helped us bring this to life, and everyone who is supporting us on this journey. This is just the beginning.

Lyrics:
Sister,
Close the door after me
You see, wherever I go
The darkness is looming on

My sister
You don't know what I've seen
All these years that I've spent alone
Silence taken over my soul
And the darkness is looming on

Sister,
It's been so many years
Since you walked out of the door
And the darkness is moving on

My sister,
It's the loneliest dream
All these years that you have been gone
Silence taken over my soul
But the darkness is moving on
The darkness is moving on

All these years
I have been waiting for
You to embrace my soul, oh no

It seems to me
Now that the moment's gone
That I've been waiting for it in vain

Sing me to sleep, my sister
Lock the door and stay inside
I am always by your side
In death, my sister
We're united till the end
In the darkness after all

You know
Until the end
I’ll stay with you
Always by your side
In death
You belong to me alone
Till the end
In the darkness after all
