Mourner's Lament Lyrics

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
