#fields of elation

[v3ssl]

I want to roll the numbers

I want to feel my stars align again

Even if the earth breaks like burnt skin

And the heavens just won't open up for me

Persephone and Hades Inspired - last updated: 5/20/24 Banner by @sentientcave

You dream of a man you've never met, a man you have loved since before you were born. Captain John MacTavish is the opposite of everything you've been taught to want from a man. It would take more than gods to keep you apart.

Prologue

Part 1

[sward-iak]

I was gonna wait to post this but I’m way too excited. @charliemwrites has an awesome Persephone AU (NSFW Content!) in the works with Captain MacTavish and I just had to do something for it. The painting is a study of a 17th Century Oil Painting known as the “Abduction of Persephone” (abduction is sometimes replaced by a different more triggering word, it depends on preference as far as I can tell but do correct me if I’m wrong!) made by an Unknown Artist. Charlie was so fun to work with on this project and her server was so encouraging throughout the whole several month process, I can’t thank you guys enough <333

I may end up doing another photo set inspired by this fic cause it’s just!!! There’s only two chapters but I’m going fucking nuts for it, I can’t wait for her to write the next part!!!

If you guys enjoy this painting please consider checking out my Gumroad or donating to my Ko-Fi <3

ONE - ALBUM COVER & LYRICS

Thread the Needle

Fields of Elation

When the Bough Breaks

[elkkiel]

I've had the chorus to fields of elation looping in my head for like 5 days now and I'm not upset about it in the slightest. idk if it's actually a thing but Vess sounds so much younger(?) and it's very endearing to me

[naroence]

The fields of elation,

quiet and lonely.

Love, Chop, Death, Love - Booze

1

Booze brings me down.

It lifts me up.

It gives me joy.

It makes me paranoid.

2

Wine is my curse.

Wine is my curse and my salvation.

Wine makes me depressed.

Wine makes me cry.

3

I want to kill myself in my sleep.

I want to kill myself without wanting to, without pain.

I want to kill myself because I can do nothing else.

4

The bedroom seems scary, just like my soul.

I'm screaming for Help, nobody listens.

The walls are leaning in, closing in, closing me in.

5

Remembering yesterday I ache and bleed.

Remembering yesterday I stumble drunkenly.

My whole life a see-saw in the land of paranoia.

6

Have I become an alcoholic out of need or stupidity?

7

My dreams, only they worth something in my austere life, no matter that they are in black and white.

My being is a farce, an ode to nothingness, and I can't wait for it to end.

I reel pleading for death.

8

I have become lonesome, excessively so.

I have become irascible, excessively too.

I can feel the injustice of it all skin deep and I crumble.

Which injustice though?

9

Every night I walk.

Every night I walk in rage.

Every night I walk and plead for the next day not to dawn.

It always does.

10

I am a great pretender.

I am handling my madness and my addiction with outstanding acting skills.

Nobody can tell that I'm an alcoholic apart from me.

Nobody pays any attention to me, apart from me.

11

Can anyone hear me now, I wonder, as I fall with a bang.

12

Last night I smashed the side mirror of a car in the street.

I had no beef with it, but you know...

It was the first thing that came into my line of sight, so broke it I did.

13

The silence is bleeding.

Words it bleeds.

I want to speak, but I have no voice.

14

Hatred is blooming inside of me.

Hatred and scorn.

For all the others. Whoever they may be.

I want to kill someone, but I can't.

I lack the power.

15

I like this fall, this sinking into the abyss of drunkenness.

I like this pain, the only thing that I truly own.

I like that I am no longer me, because who I am is someone I do not like.

16

Eleni... Maria... Eleni... Maria...

Why have you forsaken me?

Why, now that I need you, are you not here?

Why?

17

More and more I am afraid of the dark.

In the dark my deepest fears come to life.

My mistakes seem monstrous.

In the dark... In the dark... In the darkness I seek my shadow!

18

I sleep very little, I wake up too much.

I do not live my days, I just process them

I'm afraid of darkness, I am scared of light.

19

When was it last that I got drunk from joy?

I miss, everything I miss, all I cannot touch.

You...

20

I saw you last night with someone else.

You've moved on and left me behind.

You've painted my soul black.

So I fell into the sea to drown myself.

And then I swam to shore.

And then I came home and drown myself in booze.

I kept filling my body for hours, for hours I kept emptying my being.

And as always, I've achieved nothing.

What a stupid dream!

21

This fall suits me well.

It fits me fine, this madness does.

Glorious is this decadence.

I try and fail to convince myself.

22

I no longer talk with no one.

I have nothing to say.

I can't stand them no more.

No more I can stand myself.

I have no one I can talk with.

23

I was laying in bed, weeping, crying, howling.

I was laying in bed slapping myself, hurting it.

I was laying in bed yelling: Get up, Get Up, Get up, but I couldn't.

My strength had completely left me.

And I have left it.

24

Somebody savagely beat me last night.

I don't remember why.

I only remember the bruises, because these I can see.

Black eye, swollen lips, painful ribs.

The remains of the battle.

Oh, I do remember making a vow:

I will take my revenge, I said.

Thing is though, I don't know who it was.

25

When am I awake, when am I asleep, I feel confused,

I can no longer tell.

All day I sleep on my feet, and at night I lie awake.

Do I see dreams? Or is it them that see me?

26

I want to hit rock bottom.

I want to hit rock bottom.

I want to hit rock bottom.

But is there a way back from that?

27

I am going to become a beggar for love.

I will become a beggar for pity.

I am going to Maria to ask for help.

To ask for love.

I will go to Maria to...

28

I am not going to Maria.

No, I will not go to Maria.

I don't deserve her sympathy.

Her love is but a dream that

unworthy as I now am I shall not seek.

Only I can save myself.

All alone...

29

Little by little, I drink less wine.

My addiction, little by little, recedes.

Little by little, I am coming out of the dark.

I tremble, I yearn, I feel passion and fear.

Little by little...

30

I am looking for a reason, a foothold.

Something I can lean on and rise again.

I can do it, and yet I can't.

The body's used to different ways.

I have to tame it.

31

Sleepless nights, sleepy days.

But, at long last, something seems to be changing.

My dreams, you know, little by little, have started to become colourful.

I have started coming back into the light,

32

Redemption is no longer far, salvation is just around the corner.

I know that, I can feel it.

Where exactly shall I seek these twins now?

Where will I find them?

33

I have to murder loneliness.

To kill it, I must.

I need friends, and lots of them; captain where are you?

I need love.

To receive and to give.

I need to escape the avenues of silence.

I need a cloud of joy.

I need to become yet again me.

I need...

It is too much that I need but most of all

I need a life.

So,

Goodbye darkness my old friend.

You no longer scare me.

So long sadness.

Your hold on me is gone.

Wine to you I say...

Oh, no, you I cannot abandon, not for long, for I dearly love you. From now on though you will not consume me. I will simply enjoy you.

Goodbye, my goodbyes.

New life, I bid you welcome.

❌Middle Fingers Up If You Don't Give A F*ck❌

[sfsolstice]

Your name is a sin I breathe, like oxygen Caught in the careless arms of lust, again Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation, quiet and loamy

[melit0n]

In relation to my Feilds of Elation post! It's not the same amount of emotion of certain clips of The Love That You Want or Acensionism, but it's got soul.

I think it's also pretty cool to look back at older clips and see how much Vessel's singing has evolved and improved. One of the main reasons I want Feilds of Elation back on the setlist (other than for the fact it's one of my favourites) is also just to compare how much better he's gotten. He sounds ethereal here, so I can only imagine how much more wonderful he'd sound now

Music Release: Fields of Elation, November 10 2016

While not an official single, Fields of Elation from the forthcoming 2016 EP One, was posted to YouTube on this day in 2016. It is one of those rare songs where we are provided with official lyrics.

The daylight recedes In unison, this room Buries the hours Like death, in motion Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation quiet and loamy Your name is a sin I breathe, like oxygen Caught in the careless Arms, of lust again Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation quiet and loamy Nobody else can pull me out The fields of elation quiet and loamy I'm losing my faith in our lives apart

In the description of the video, there was additional early lore provided.

Facebook: / sleeptoken BUY NOW on Bandcamp: https://sleeptoken.bandcamp.com/ Instagram: / sleep_token Thanks to MindHackTV & Nyxea Illustrations Sleep Token are a masked, anonymous collective of musicians; united by their worship of an ancient deity crudely dubbed "Sleep", since no modern tongue can properly express it's name. This being once held great power, bestowing ancient civilisations with the gift of dreams, and the curse of nightmares. Even today, though faded from prominence, 'Sleep' yet lurks in the subconscious minds of man, woman, and child alike. Fragments of beauty, horror, anguish, pain, happiness, joy, anger, disgust, and fear coalesce to create expansive, emotionally textured music that simultaneously embodies the darkest, and the brightest abstract thoughts. He has seen them. He has felt them. He is everywhere. Sleep Token, led by the perpetually tormented, supremely talented Vessel, creates music that brings to the fore our most submerged thoughts and feelings, coaxing them from the desolate, terrifying caves of our subconscious mind.
