Galaktion's Mary

"Mary, That Night"
(Verse 1)
You crossed yourself that night, oh Mary,
Your eyes were fading, cold yet bright.
Like autumn skies, so lost and wary,
A silent storm of golden light.
(Pre-Chorus)
The candles burned, the church was glowing,
But your pale face, a mystery…
Was it a blessing? Was it mourning?
A vow of love or misery?
(Chorus)
Wind was crying, rain kept falling,
Steps were lost in shadows deep.
O Mary, was it love’s last calling,
Or just a prayer the night would keep?
(Verse 2)
The dome was shining, echoes trembling,
Soft rose scents still filled the air.
But waiting hearts, forever aching,
Whispered prayers of lost despair.
(Pre-Chorus)
The broken vows, the silent weeping,
A ring now lost to fate’s cruel hand.
Was it a wedding or a grieving?
O Mary, I don’t understand…
(Chorus)
Wind was crying, rain kept falling,
Steps were lost in shadows deep.
O Mary, was it love’s last calling,
Or just a prayer the night would keep?
(Bridge)
I stood beneath your darkened window,
Leaning weak against the wall.
The trees like ghosts, their whispers hollow,
Like wings that rise, then fade and fall.
(Verse 3)
O sudden light that died so quickly,
A dream that vanished into air.
Why did my fate slip through my fingers,
Like drifting snow, like whispered prayer?
(Outro)
The wind still sings, the rain still lingers,
Like broken hearts that never heal.
And I wept, just like King Lear,
Left alone with all I feel…
