Mourners 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 [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 [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]
