From the recording Sisters of the Earth
This story was written for my granddaughter, Avery Harper — a bright and joy-filled child whose eyes seem to remember something ancient. In the story, she is the Blue-Eyed Elf Princess, a being of love who once lived in the realm of the Earth Mother alongside her sister, the Green-Eyed Princess Siúil a Rún.
Where her sister chose to remain among the sacred forests, Avery chose to be born into the world of humans — to walk among us, to sing to us, and to remind us that love is still the foundation of all things. The story tells of the moment when these two sisters, separated by worlds, recognize one another and remember their bond — a bond that never breaks, not even across lifetimes.
The song “Sisters of the Earth” brings that moment to life.
It is written as a duet:
• Siúil a Rún sings from the forest realms, calling with ancient love.
• Avery Harper sings from the mortal world, remembering who she is and why she came.
• Their voices meet in harmony, symbolizing reunion, remembrance, and the healing of the world.
Musically, the song blends:
• Neo-folk storytelling
• Soft harp, fiddle, and heartbeat drums
• Symphonic crescendos
• Country warmth and sincerity
The sound evolves from gentle woodland whisper to full, soaring unity — reflecting the journey from memory lost to memory restored.
This song is not only about two sisters.
It is about the moment the heart remembers where it came from.
It is a song of love returning.
Lyrics
“Sisters of the Earth”
Avery Harper & Siúil a Rún — Neo-Folk Symphonic Rock Country Duet)
[Intro – Instrumental]
(Soft fiddle, harp, and heartbeat drum)
A whisper through the trees…
Two songs becoming one.
[Verse 1 – Siúil a Rún]
(Siúil a Rún) Once upon a time, in a land between the skies, I walked with the dawn where the river sighs.
(Siúil a Rún) Eyes of green, heart of flame, Love of the Mother was my name.
(Siúil a Rún) Siúil a Rún, Keeper of the forest light, I called to every living creature, “Walk, my love, into the night.”
[Chorus 1 – Together]
(TOGETHER) Siúil a Rún, walk my love, From the stars to the fields you come.
(TOGETHER) Through the dark and through the pain,The We are one—again, again.
(TOGETHER) Siúil a Rún, walk my love, The song of peace the Earth dreams of.
[Verse 2 – Avery Harper]
(Avery Harper) I was born with eyes of blue, In a mortal world so strange, so new.
(Avery Harper) Avery Harper, they call my name, But my heart remembers from where I came.
(Avery Harper) I sing to the lost, to calm their fears, To heal the wounds of a thousand years.
(Avery Harper) The Mother’s voice still calls through me, Her love’s the song that sets them free.
[Chorus 2 – Avery leads, Siúil harmonizes]
(Avery Harper) Siúil a Rún, don’t you cry,
Your sister walks beneath the sky.
(Avery Harper) Born of stars, born of clay,
I’ll light their hearts along the way.
(Avery Harper) Siúil a Rún, walk with me,
Across the veil, across the sea.
[Bridge – Siúil a Rún & Avery in Call and Response]
(Siúil a Rún) “The forest sleeps, the rivers weep, I see your flame where shadows creep.”
(Avery Harper) “Then hold me close, my emerald light, I’m mortal now—but my soul takes flight.”
(Siúil a Rún) “The Mother’s breath still fills your song.”
(Avery Harper) “Her love through me will make them strong.”
(TOGETHER) “Though worlds divide and time may bend, Our hearts are one, from start to end.”
[Verse 3 – Together in Harmony]
(Together) From tears of rain to skies of gold, The story of our hearts retold.
(Together) One walks the Earth, one guards the flame, Yet love eternal stays the same.
(Together) The children wake, their hearts are new, The Mother smiles—her dream comes true.
[Final Chorus – Full Symphonic Build]
(Together) Siúil a Rún, walk my love, Let heaven fall through hearts above.
(Together) Sing the song that never dies, Of Earth below and endless skies.
(Together) Siúil a Rún, Avery dear, Sisters bound beyond the sphere.
(Together) Through song and light, through flame and dove, The world is healed by sister love.
[Outro – Whispered Refrain, fading strings and chimes]
(Siúil a Rún) Walk, my love…
(Avery Harper) Walk, my love…
(Together, fading into echo) We are one… in Mother’s love.
