The Bride of Silence

In candlelight’s glow, she sways through the haze,
A delicate night, her shadow ablaze.
The walls breathe her name, the stillness replies,
A ghost in the quiet, a raging storm in her eyes.

Every motion, a vow reborn,
Every silence, a love forlorn.

Oh, bride of silence, wrapped in the night,
Each swirl of her gown takes delicate flight.
The watchers keep vigil, their hearts on fire,
Where silence reveals her truth and desire.

Stars bear witness, the dark turns to gold,
A longing remembered, a hand left to hold.
Her laughter, a tremor that wakes castle stones,
She dances through echoes, never alone.

Every heartbeat, a world reformed,
Every whisper, a soul transformed.

Oh, bride of silence, wrapped in the night,
Each swirl of her gown takes delicate flight.
The watchers keep vigil, their hearts on fire,
Where silence reveals her truth and desire.

Out of her slumber, the world is turning,
Out of the silence, new passions are burning.
Her spirit ascends, her fate reborn,
The bride of silence, the calm before the storm.

Oh, bride of silence, rise from the deep,
Awakening hearts the shadows keep.
The siege of her heart ignites once more
She dances in stillness, she dances for war.

Let her move freely, her heart takes wing,
In spaces of stillness, love now sings.
To the bride of silence, a flame remains,
Eternal, eternal—her hush sustains.

Lyrics and creative direction: Tony Gibbs.

All creative work is developed through a human-led process where AI acts as a drafting partner, not a replacement. My role is to provide the emotional truth, lived experience and artistic direction. AI is used only to accelerate exploration, not to author the final point of view.

Some songs have been developed using an AI-assisted creative workflow. Every idea, story and emotional direction originates from my lived experience and/or my own imagination. AI helped me shape structure, phrasing and flow — the final voice, choices and meaning are entirely mine.
