Lilac & Fire

The Witcher · Yennefer

The story in the song

This original song is a dark-pop × cinematic orchestral hybrid inspired by Yennefer of Vengerberg — the sorceress who rose from ruin and rewrote her own fate. It’s both an anthem and a confession, sung in the voice of someone who’s burned, rebuilt, and learned to love on her own terms.

Lyrics

Lilac on the wind, gooseberries in the dark Obsidian star beating like a second heart Cracked‑mirror child learning where the edges start Say my name; it portals through the scars They said I’d break; I bent the world instead Aretuza’s halls taught the cost of being remade Tissaia’s winter gaze—tame the sea inside my head I learned the word for pain in runes of violet red If hurt is ink, I write my name across the night If doubt is chains, I turn them sigils set alight Count me out, then hear me counting thunder right Lilac & fire — I rise from the pyre What doesn’t kill me carves my chaos into choir Underestimated? underline my power Sodden in my lungs, I turn that smoke to light Lilac & fire — Vengerberg in my spine Every scar I carry is a line I choose to write Yen‑ne‑ne‑fer Yen‑ne‑ne‑fer Stronger, stronger Lilac & fire Yen‑ne‑ne‑fer Yen‑ne‑ne‑fer Stronger, stronger Lilac & fire A wish once knotted two wild hearts against the cold But love is not a leash; it’s steel that learns to fold White‑haired child of storms—my promise to uphold Courts and circles watched, yet I rewrote the role If silence bites, I let its teeth become a crown If they erase me, I return as violet sound Say I am less—then watch the word profound Lilac & fire — I rise from the pyre What doesn’t kill me tunes my fury into choir Underestimated? every doubt becomes a wire Sodden on my tongue, I speak the smoke to light Black banners climbed; the hill remembered every name I fed the blaze with pieces I may never get again Fire answered fury; discipline kept it in The world said “break”—wildfire answered “bend” Ash in my throat, yet I keep breathing violets Magic lost then found—grief teaching quiets Haunted isn’t beaten; haunted means defiant From Kaer Morhen snows to halls that would deny it Lilac & fire — I rise from the pyre What doesn’t kill me writes me brighter in the choir Underestimated? watch a universe conspire Sodden in my past, but the future burns bright Lilac & fire — Yennefer in the night Lilac & fire Lilac & fire Every scar I carry is a spell I choose to write Yen‑ne‑ne‑fer… lilac & fire… Portal home through the dark
