Across the Sky
Emilie Autumn Lyrics
"What is your substance, whereof are you made
That millions of strange shadows on you tend?
Since every one, hath every one, one shade,
And you but one, can every shadow lend."
See beyond the moment
Think beyond the day
Hear the word
My voice will not be cast away
Fatalistic fortune
Love goes on
But time does not return again
Across the sky
I will come for you
If you ask me to
Demystify
Your uncommon dreams
Stranger things have come true
Fear no more the midnight
Fear no more the sea
Close your eyes, regret nothing
You're safe with me
Look into the shadows
Step into the mist
Search your land but doubt never
I still exist
Across the sky
I will come for you
If you ask me to
Demystify
Your uncommon dreams
Stranger things have come true
Ask yourself: is this all there is?
Take no answer but the one you find
I have put my faith in aberrations of your kind
But even if you're in my mind
Across the sky
I will come to you
If you ask me to
Demystify
Your uncommon dreams
Stranger things have come true
Should we hear the silence?
Should we hear the noise?
I don't need this blind acceptance
I have made my choice
Light lives in the darkness
Beauty lives in pain
In destruction we may lose ourselves
But still I will remain
Across the sky
Across the sky
See beyond the moment
Think beyond the day
Hear the word
Hear the word

Performing with her all-female backing band The Bloody Crumpets, Autumn incorporates elements of classical music, cabaret, electronica, and glam rock with theatrics, and burlesque.
Growing up in Malibu, California, she began learning the violin at the age of four and left regular school five years later with the goal of becoming a world-class violinist; she practiced eight or nine hours a day and read a wide range of literature. Progressing to writing her own music, she studied under various teachers and went to Indiana University, which she left over issues regarding the relationship between classical music and the appearance of the performer. Through her own independent label Traitor Records, Autumn debuted with her classical album On a Day: Music for Violin & Continuo, followed by the release in 2003 of her album Enchant.
She appeared in singer Courtney Love's backing band on her 2004 America's Sweetheart tour and returned to Europe. She released the 2006 album Opheliac with the German label Trisol Music Group. In 2007, she released Laced/Unlaced; the re-release of On a Day... appeared as Laced with songs on the electric violin as Unlaced. She later left Trisol to join New York-based The End Records in 2009 and release Opheliac in the United States, where previously it had only been available as an import. Currently she is on tour to promote her newest album Fight Like A Girl. She played the role of Painted Doll in Darren Lynn Bousman's 2012 film The Devil's Carnival.

This is so different from her later creations, it was almost shocking to me. Like, if you compare this to Opheliac or I Know Where You Sleep.... It really is amazing how she can do such different things, and yet have all of it be so distinctively Emilie Autumn.
Rachel Fourie
This is one of my favorite songs by her
Vera Papp
yup, it's so awesome when someone is able to show many of their different sides.

The lyrics are deep, i love how good poet she is, since her first song pointed to things of the soul, from bottom to top, from existencial issues to real life fights, Emilie Autumn May not be the Best, but is My Best💞

That's how I first heard it. It was such an amazing experience.

I admit, I've known about Ms. Autumn for a while now and still haven't heard all of her songs. I don't know why. She has remarkable talent in all of her work. I'm always mystified by each song I hear. Maybe I don't want to waste that first time hearing her. Because my word, listening to her is truly astounding.
