Magdelena Hell

You lift your hand to shield your eyes
from the mid-morning sun
and stare into the brilliant painted sky
In the background
Dissonance chimes a sullen lullaby of
a «ghost bride» haunted by her voice
When promises were spoken were
regrets so far behind?
Left to simmer, unresolved
Born in the revelations-
in a cruel twist of fate
Magdelena Hell — the light is dim.
Magdelena is light is dim
As my nightmare begins to unfold
I wonder will you miss the peace
As you’re basking in the afterglow
I’ve been here before
when the cinders return
The absence consumes
and the love letters burn
Basking in the afterglow
Basking in the afterglow
Removing your possessions
provides some relief
from the fracture that will not heal
while you walk along the ledges
I hope that if you fall
the ghost will comfort you
along the way.
For both of us it’s buried
yet somehow clings to life
I’ll pretend and you’ll avoid the truth
Have you forgotten how much
I can forgive
As you wait for your rapture in the deep.
Magdelena the light is dim
as my nightmare begins to unfold
I wonder will you miss the peace
As you’re basking in the afterglow
I’ll peel back this wound
When the cinders return
The absence consumes
and the love letters burn
Basking in the afterglow
Basking in the afterglow
