Widow's Tears from Monarchy by WillRock

This song was the reason I started this project - it had been floating around my head for a few years, and I never attempted to record it because I couldn't find someone good enough to record the song. Then I found Valentino, who has done an amazing job not just on this song, but the whole album. Viking Guitar handled some of the more challenging riff work (because I suck ) and some amazing soloing. Finally, Stevo Bortz ended up providing some very thought provoking lyrics and backing vocals that were the perfect counter to Valentino's high tenor. Overall, a massive triumph beyond what I could have foreseen, a massive collaborative success.

Lyrics

Lyrics: a chartered course
my heart is stopping the sun
my memories
each ray is shinning on one

another night
clouds gathering with fright
i hold on to the light
hoping to hell i'll win this fight
another place
remind lines on your face
time lost without a trace
of passing days

coming home
where i've known
all my experience has grown
and all fears
will disappear like
widow's tears
in the sea
carry me
breaking the currents, set me free
and all fears
will disappear like
widow's tears

the years have gone
i stopped the count long ago
a million miles
when i was aching to roam

follow the stars
guiding me to your arms
soul's close, bodies so far
wanting to fly

coming home
where i've known
all my experience has grown
and all fears
will disappear like
widow's tears
in the sea
carry me
breaking the currents, set me free
and all fears
will disappear like
widow's tears
