John Skelley - The Cryptic Elegy of the Glass Widow Lyrics

In a mansion of mirrors and crystal shade
Resides the widow and a solitaire
Her gown, a shimmer, a shattered light
Her eyes, a void of a starless night

She walks the halls, her footsteps mute
Her tears, like glass, they absolute
For each drop, a memory lost
In a crypt of frost, she counts the cost

Cry, oh cry, tears of glass
As your sorrow does amass
In the silence of your tomb
Fate has sealed your gloom

Her hands, they craft from pain and strife
A tapestry of a shattered life
Each piece of glass, a moment caught
In a palace time has brought

The sun, it dares not to pierce her veil
For fear of a story her mirrors entail
All that we are, all love once true
Now reflected in every hue

Her voice, a whisper through the glass
Sings of love, of pain, of class
A serenade to what once was
In a crypt where all is lost

Cry, oh cry, tears of glass
As your sorrow does amass
In the silence of your tomb
Fate has sealed your gloom

Now the widow's vigil ends
Her story the glass mends
A monument to love's decline
In the silence she'll resign

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Those energy echoes through eternity
A testament to love and woe
In a crypt where shadows grow
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
