A recorded reading of “Cold Glory”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You left like frost— no sound, no stay. But silence bloomed in a radiant way. Where love once bruised, I found new flame. Now I rise in quiet and don’t speak your name. This is my cold glory— not revenge, not scream. Just grace and grief woven into a dream.
Lyrics
You left like winter Without a word Frost on the windows Where silence stirred But I wore your leaving Like a velvet crown Built a castle from the snow When you let me down Every tear froze Then turned to steel You thought I'd break But I learned to feel This is my cold glory My empire of ache Where beauty blooms From what you forsake You carved the wound But I claimed the flame I rise in frost And don’t speak your name This is my cold glory My radiant chill I lost the war But I climb the hill You ghost through my mirrors But I don’t see your face I’ve painted the shadows With new grace Where I once shattered I now reflect A thousand pieces You can’t neglect Every tear froze Then turned to steel You thought I'd break But I learned to feel This is my cold glory My empire of ache Where beauty blooms From what you forsake You carved the wound But I claimed the flame I rise in frost And don’t speak your name This is my cold glory My radiant chill I lost the war But I climb the hill There’s no revenge Only bloom I found myself In this frozen room Not love, not hate But a crown I grew From the snow you left When you withdrew This is my cold glory Not rage, not grief Just strength that bloomed When you gave me peace I rise from ruins With crystal flame Not to haunt— Just to reclaim
