Maid Of Stone Lyrics - Dark At Dawn

Fade away, my love 

Under painful clay 

Deep in the desert 

Where no mortal's ever set foot 

There she is lain 

With a rose in her mouth and her hand 

Into the voidness 

Her sandy hair without colour, for good? 

I've been praying, Lord, 

Since she's left me 

So all alone in the darkness 

Guardian made of stone, 

Won't you answer 

My prayers for her coming home 

My dear, please speak to me 

Beloved, answer me 

Give me a sign to rely on 

I know you still hear me 

Even you cannot see me 

On my knees, don't deny me 

Lifeless womb 

Her grave, a pyramidal tomb 

Crying and praying 

That her leaving the light was no end 

Then it awoke 

After hours and days 

And then spoke the rose made of stone 

"Who loves shall be never alone." 

I've been praying, Lord, 

Since she's left me 

So all alone in the darkness 

Guardian made of stone 

Gave me answers to 

My prayers for her coming home 

My dear, she spoke to me 

Beloved, answered me 

Gave me a sign to rely on 

I know you still hear me 

Singing sad melodies 

For this rose-water's accompany
