My Greatest Day - Persephone

The candle’s flickering

My eyes are burning

My fingers bleeding

The needle, faster and faster

As if it knows that not much time is left

The candle’s flickering

There’s silence in my room

I hear the needle

Perforating the velvet

The moment soon will come

I hope it will always stay

It will be a beautiful dress

For my greatest day

My love and me joined forever

Eyes still burning, I could have known

I’m too excited, fingers sewed to the bone

I’m bleeding but still no disaster

The needle, faster and faster

As if it knows that not much time is left

My bridegroom is longing for his wife

The candle’s flickering

I wear the beautiful dress

Ready to enter into my very last journey

My love and me joined forever

Nothing can ever come between us

This is my greatest day
