Shards in the Silent Wood
Ancient Male Vocals, Sparse, wind-blown intro with textured ambient sounds—whistling desert wind, subtle insect percussion, and the distant caw of a raven, Minimal guitar and occasional deep bass pulses create atmosphere, Percussive accents mimic gunslinger movements, while manipulated vocal fragments add haunting, soundex-style texture

Lyrics
Intro
The Widow’s first cry—glass tears fall and the forest fractures.
Verse 1
Beneath the shattered pine’s cold breath,
She weeps a river forged in death,
Molten tears that burn the ground,
Each drop a scream without a sound.
Pre-Chorus
Glass falls like rain from haunted eyes,
Splintered grief that never dies—
Chorus
Shards in the silent wood,
Cutting deep where sorrow stood,
Echoes break and memories flood,
Lost beneath the shards in the silent wood.
Verse 2
Roots twist like veins beneath the bark,
A forest bleeding, cold and dark,
Her wails carve time in endless loops,
A hymn that binds and rends and dupes.
Pre-Chorus
Glass falls like rain from haunted eyes,
Splintered grief that never dies—
Chorus
Shards in the silent wood,
Cutting deep where sorrow stood,
Echoes break and memories flood,
Lost beneath the shards in the silent wood.
Bridge
No light can pierce this crystal rain,
No voice can soothe the Widow’s pain,
Her tears like knives, they tear and bind,
The souls she’s left behind—
Outro
In shattered woods, where silence reigns,
Her sorrow falls, her endless chains,
A world undone in glass and blood—
The Widow weeps and breaks the wood.
