Mourner's Lament - Candlemass

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

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
