The City of Tears

Bluish droplets collide
They faint and intertwine
On the iron stained glass
Waving in the half-light

Delicate spinal columns
Witness to fleeting beauty
Skeletons tending to heaven
Bears the cathedral city

The storm's retreating roar
Clashes with the thunder's roll

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the City of Tears
Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the City
The City of Tears

Roaming in my pale mantle
I am the ghost and the guest
Under the bridge and my feet
Pass my fondest memories

I dried my alabaster
Eyes to fix in history
The heroes of the hours
That shaped my destiny

Raindrops cascade down the hill
A grey river shedding its fill

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the City of Tears
Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the City
The City of Tears

No more grist for the mill
No more salt for my grief
I face the icy fears
As they fade in the breeze

I lie down on the warm sheet
I close my heavy eyelids
And I dream without barriers
A crease appears on my cheeks

Castle built on a black cliff
Hidden by the evergreens
The slow rustle of the wind
Cradles the City of Tears
Soothing the lonely shadows
Pounding the murky arches
The symphony of echoes
Is sheltering the City
The City of Tears
