The Singing Skull - The Widow's Curse Lyrics

The Widow's Curse
[Instrumental]
*(Verse 1)*
In a house on the hill where the winds blow cold,
A widow weeps for the love she holds,
Her heart torn asunder, her grief too deep,
So she made a pact that her soul must keep.

She whispered to the dark, she begged the night,
"Bring back my love, in shadow or light,"
But the price was high, and the curse was sealed,
For once it began, no heart could heal.
[Instrumental]
*(Chorus)*
The widow's curse, forever bound,
In shadows, her love was never found,
She calls to the living, lures them near,
But her love's return will cost them dear.
A kiss from the widow steals your breath,
And drags you down to her love's cold death.
[Instrumental]
*(Verse 2)*
Each night she waits by the window's glow,
Hoping for a glimpse of the man she knows,
But instead, it's strangers who come to stay,
Drawn to her sorrow, they cannot stray.

She welcomes them in with a smile so sweet,
But the air grows heavy, the silence deep,
For her curse is to love, but never to keep,
And those who enter soon fall asleep.
[Instrumental]
*(Chorus)*
The widow's curse, forever bound,
In shadows, her love was never found,
She calls to the living, lures them near,
But her love's return will cost them dear.
A kiss from the widow steals your breath,
And drags you down to her love's cold death.
[Instrumental]
*(Bridge)*
In the cold, dark night, she roams alone,
A ghost of sorrow in a house of stone,
She reaches for life, but finds only despair,
For the living can't stay, and the dead don't care.

*(Chorus)*
The widow's curse, forever bound,
In shadows, her love was never found,
She calls to the living, lures them near,
But her love's return will cost them dear.
A kiss from the widow steals your breath,
And drags you down to her love's cold death.
[Instrumental]
*(Outro)*
Now she waits, but her love won't come,
The curse forever leaves her numb.
For every soul she pulls beneath,
She remains alone, in endless grief.
[Instrumental]
