Black Velvet Woes

Black Velvet Woes

Black Velvet Woes

Black velvet robes of death sweep the night's final breath
Tombs awaits its fill, the lifeless body listless chill
A succession with the rolling drum, the final march succumbs

The ending chapter closes, and death adorns with roses
The reapers cycle swiftly poses
Weep now and let those tears stream
The stillness of the heart secludes in silenced screams

A lifetime summed in a few words the sobbing fills Cathedrals walls
Candle flames cast silhouettes that rise and fall
A grieving widow calls out her true loves name
Life for her will never be the same
Black Velvet woe has brought her pain, the reaper has made his claim
