Emilie Autumn - Up She Rises

☞ "Up She Rises" to be sung by the characters of The Captain, Emily, and Inmates Grace and Mabel in my new musical The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, here performed by myself playing all roles. I originally recorded these "Behind the Musical" songs as a tool to teach the eventual real actors what to do. I finally decided to share my secrets and release these recordings to you so that we can all go on this journey together, and bring this epic, empowering musical to the stage as a family:).
☞ For complete lyrics, turn on "Captions" for the video as I've taken great pains to type them in and line them up for you and drank a vat of Earl Grey in the process, or see them below.☕️

UP SHE RISES
from The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, an Original Musical
(Characters: The Captain, Emily, Inmate Grace, Inmate Mabel)
THE CAPTAIN:
Lift the anchor, raise the sail…
Draw your sword and do not fail…
Sight be sharp and aim be true…
Captain’s blade knows what to do…
Through the salty sea air that blows,
Up she rises, down she goes.
Sailing to someplace that nobody knows,
Singing up she’ll rise ‘til the morning.
Captain keeps watch as the darkness grows,
Up she rises, down she goes.
They’ll fall to no harm if my eyes never close,
Singing up she’ll rise ‘til the morning.
EMILY:
What is she doing?
And does she ever sleep?
INMATE GRACE:
Not with her eyes closed.
She says she’s watch to keep.
EMILY:
She speaks so strangely…
She’s not from London…
INMATE MABEL:
No, I heard she’s German.
EMILY:
I knew it!
INMATE MABEL:
Keeps to herself, but-
EMILY, INMATES MABEL & GRACE:
When we’re sleeping,
Up she’ll rise…
Up she’ll rise…
Up she’ll rise…
THE CAPTAIN:
Through the thunder and rain that flows,
THE CAPTAIN & EMILY:
Up she rises, down she goes…
THE CAPTAIN:
A pirate will fight when her enemy shows,
Singing up she’ll rise ‘til the morning…
EMILY:
Ah…
