The Child Of Sorrow

Dark night - black and tenacious,
Wind whispers through the leaves,
Where the owl shriekes.
I'm sitting at the river and watch the waters
Flow.

'Cause I'm the child of sorrows!
Brought tears and hate,
I'm the herald of doom,
I'll preach your death!
I take away your youth,
I take away your health,
I take away your love,
I take away your life!

Dead light of the moon
Falls through the mighty trees.
I stare at the clouds chasing in the sky.

From far a cry of the bird of prey
Reaches my ear and makes me chilled.
I follow you!

I know your time has come,
And I know I will obey
These absurd orders of your times,
In the hunt for life you run,
Your cold breath cuts through the shadowlands,
Again you fight but you can't win!

An inner voice speaks in soft words,
Open your eyes
When the pale shadow of death falls over thy
Face
And the blood spills from your veins
