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
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
