Blackened Crown

One of Eisley's earliest songs, this is also one of their most accessible. It builds from a delicate acoustic opening into a chilling, emotive climax. The band recorded this when Stacy was about 11 years old.

Often when the bands play shows in and around Dallas, Houston, or Austin, fans from the Eisley forum request this song.

Lyrics

A face broken upstairs I fall down
Tumbling I lose my ground
Paint my hair a blackened crown
Lift my head as I cry out

Did you hear me holler at you
to come save me I'm in danger
My pearls have fallen into mud
and you were too late

This breath precious to you
knocked from me
Taken so faintly and
I never feel 'till it's too late

Did you hear me holler at you
to come save me I'm in danger
My pearls have fallen into mud
and you are too late.
