Elijah

## "Elijah"Song by ALX

"**Elijah**" is an unreleased song by Allie X. It was recorded in 2012 and produced by X and Nautiluss.

## Background

The song made its live debut at MUTEK on June 1, 2012, during which X made a guest appearance under her previous stage name ALX and performed the instrumental concept demo of the song with Nautiluss. A month later, X recorded a demo with incomplete lyrics which was sent to ALX live band members for reference. Following this, the final version of the song would be performed live at Hillside Festival on July 27, 2012.

The song was scrapped later in July due to the ending of the ALX project but its melody was eventually reused for the song "Aurora" which was submitted to Canadian Film Centre.

The studio demo version of "Elijah" leaked online on February 27, 2016.

* Demo version

**[Verse 1]**

Oh, dear Elijah

When my heart is pure

I see your face, Elijah

Are you the harbinger?

So will you come through the fire?

I wanna see through the blur

Yeah, will you come take me higher?

'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know

**[Chorus]**

Elijah, a million bells are ringing

Elijah, thirteen years I'm singing

Oh, I know it's never enough

I'm waiting for the big revival, Elijah

**[Verse 2]**

Oh, my dressed Elijah

Don't know what's best for you

Far away thunder is gonna make his move

And in the wilderness

The neighbours give you the food

I'm in the wilderness

Yet I know, I know, I know, I know

**[Chorus]**

Elijah, a million bells are ringing

Elijah, thirteen years I'm singing

Oh, I know it's never enough

I'm waiting for the big revival

Elijah, Elijah, Elijah

**[Bridge]**

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Elijah, Elijah, Eli

Li, Li Li, Li, Li, Li

**[Outro]**

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can, nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can, nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can, nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can, nothin' you can do

**[Verse 1]**

Oh, my dear Elijah

Left my soul with you

Old friend, Elijah

Know what's best for you

When I tell you tonight

That nothing's gonna come true

No, I won't tell you tonight

'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know

**[Chorus]**

Elijah, something seems sincerely

A trial

Back on track is how it goes

Yeah, I know it isn't enough

Someway we missed revival, Elijah

**[Verse 2]**

Oh, my dear Elijah

I give my soul to you

Oh, my friend, Elijah

Know what's best for you

So can I hold you tonight? Is that alright with you?

But I can't hold you tonight

'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know

**[Chorus]**

Elijah, something seems sincerely

The trials

Back on track is how it goes

I know it isn't enough

Someway we missed revival, Elijah

**[Bridge]**

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli, Eli

Elijah, Elijah, Elijah

**[Outro]**

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

When there's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

When there's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

When there's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

There's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do

When there's nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do
