Candlemass - Mourner's Lament lyrics

rate me

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

[Chorus:]

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 <i>[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

[Chorus]

[Rest in peace]

[repeat 1st verse]

[Chorus]
