Dark At Dawn - Maid Of Stone lyrics

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
