A Widow's Dream

A widow dreams of her fallen angel
The broken branch, an empty manger
A widow dreams of her life with the saviour
Falls to her knees and begs for more

But the fields are filled with nightmare prophecies
Shadows cast upon her fading hope to be
A virgin widow walks through lanes of memory
Invokes the past, that it might save her
An aging widow weeps and turns towards the wall
Voices shout out names of those she can't recall
A widow dreams of sons, of daughters
Endless nights spent in silent slaughter
A widow dreams of love lost or thrown away
Searching for the light of day that might relieve her

A widow dreams of her fallen angel
A broken heart, no memory to save her

A widow looks upon her eyeless saviour
Begs for the strength to end it all, end it all
But the fields are filled with nightmare prophecies
No hope of finding mercy in this entity
A virgin widow lays down amongst the leaves
Invokes the past, but it can't save her

An aging widow weeps and builds another wall
Voices silent now, no cries or mocking calls
A widow dreams of sons, of daughters
Endless nights spent with thoughts that always haunt her
A widow fails to find her love and drifts away
Turning out the light of day that has deceived her
A widow's dream comes to its close
A widow's dream comes to its close
A widow's dream
A widow's dream
A widow's dream
A widow's dream
