Mourners Lament - Lyrics by Candlemass


Lyrics
Let me stay here by your sidebe 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 blackthough I know this cannot give you back
I sleep by your shadowremembering your light
In my heart
I'm with you every night
Far goes your journeyinto the unknownwherever you might bebe well my son
Why just you my flesh and blood
I cannot live nor understandmy dearest treasure to be foundsix 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
