Chapter Two - You Said you'd Grow Old with Me, by Michael Schulte
Ugh, this song just breaks my heart every time I hear it. And I really think it encompasses Keira’s emotions and the pain she’s experiencing.
I’d like to say, “I’m okay”, but I’m not
I try, but I fall, close my mind, turn it off
But I can’t be sober, I cannot sleep
You’ve got your peace now, but what about me?
I try, but I fall, close my mind, turn it off
But I can’t be sober, I cannot sleep
You’ve got your peace now, but what about me?
Thought we had the time, had our lives
Now you’ll never get older, older
Didn’t say goodbye, now I’m frozen in time
Getting colder, colder.
Now you’ll never get older, older
Didn’t say goodbye, now I’m frozen in time
Getting colder, colder.
– You Said You’d Grow Old with Me
Chapter Three - Dynasty, by MIIA
This song speaks to both Keira’s life at the moment and the Marians’ failed attempts at bringing the people of the Southern Shield into their Empire.
Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn’t shake
Thought we built a dynasty, like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn’t break up
Thought we built a dynasty, like nothing ever made
Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn’t break up
It all fell

It all fell down
It all fell
It all fell down

Chapter Four - Someone to Stay, by Vancouver Sleep Clinic
You were alone, left out in the cold
Clinging to the ruin of your broken home
Too lost and hurting to carry your load
We all need someone to hold.
Clinging to the ruin of your broken home
Too lost and hurting to carry your load
We all need someone to hold.
You’ve been fighting the memory, all on your own
Nothing worsens, nothing grows
I know how it feels being by yourself in the rain

Beneath the skin
So breathe in, breathe out
Let the human in

Chapter Twenty-Seven - Moments Passed, By Dermot Kennedy
I wanted to run to you
What if I’m caught up on it’s me you’re calling?
What if I’m lost now, plus if demons come in?
When she kissed me I felt a new freedom or something

In my winters, she’ll be burning slow
Feels like December knows me well
