Candlemass "Mourner's Lament" |
Let me stay here by your side Be one with you my precious child Let me cover your bed with tears I will save you from all fears I burn the candles for your soul I sing you prayers as the preacher told I bring you flowers, I dress in black Though I know this cannot give you back I sleep by your shadow Remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey Into the unknown Wherever you might be Be well my son [1st time: you are my son] Why just you my flesh and blood I cannot live nor understand My dearest treasure to be found Six feet under in sacred ground Watch me bleed you lucky ones I envy you your living sons I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath I will mourn him to my death I sleep by your shadow Remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey Into the unknown Wherever you might be Be well my son [1st time: you are my son] Why just you my flesh and blood I cannot live nor understand My dearest treasure to be found Six feet under in sacred ground Watch me bleed you lucky ones I envy you your living sons I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath I will mourn him to my death [Rest in peace] Let me stay here by your side Be one with you my precious child Let me cover your bed with tears I will save you from all fears I burn the candles for your soul I sing you prayers as the preacher told I bring you flowers, I dress in black Though I know this cannot give you back I sleep by your shadow Remembering your light In my heart I'm with you every night Far goes your journey Into the unknown Wherever you might be Be well my son [1st time: you are my son] Why just you my flesh and blood I cannot live nor understand My dearest treasure to be found Six feet under in sacred ground Watch me bleed you lucky ones I envy you your living sons I'll give mine the strength of my faithful breath I will mourn him to my death Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
