Carry Me Back to Her Arms (Lyrics + Unreleased Versions) - Music of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture
19It turns out that the in-game version of this theme is actually split into two layers. A choir layer and an orchestral layer. The official soundtrack only has the full version with both layers, but I thought it would be neat to show off the other two layers by themselves.
This is definitely one of my favorite themes from this game. I just love how you can get a very strong sense of Frank's story just by paying attention to the lyrics. Jessica Curry really nailed it with his theme.
Part of me really wishes the other themes were split into layers like this one, but sadly this is the only theme done this way to my knowledge. Ah well, still neat to have this though.

Lyrics:
A-roving we went, my true love and I
Amongst the corn and the maize
When death leaned in with his sickle and clock
And swept my true love away
I have followed the nightjar home to her bed
I have followed the sound of her heart
Over field and valley I've counted them fly
And the seventh is always apart
So a-roving I'll go
Through my fields once more
With my ear to the maize and the corn
And wait for the day that death comes for me
To carry me back to her arms
To her arms
To her arms
To her arms, boys
To carry me back to her arms
And a-roving I'll go until death comes for me
To carry me back to her arms
To carry me back to her arms
