The instrumental half moves between the shadow of persecution and the island’s spacious, otherworldly atmosphere, with music that suggests inherited memory and a power passed between women. The vocal half turns toward fear, defiance, protection, and renewal, echoing Niamh’s fate and the connection between her and Neve without treating the story as a generic witch’s tale.
