'mourner's Lament' Lyrics - 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 treasures 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
