My dark-tressed love, from sorrow's hand I claim
A shaft has struck my chest, its wound inflame
Cease tears for your beloved's silken frame
Today, love's heart has burst its bounds, come
A fortress built from grief, my home, my ground
My cries, unheard; my prayers, without a sound
Not one or ten, but countless woes abound
Like knots they rise upon my brow, come
No mountain matches the weight my aching heart bears
Days flee; life dwindles, and no one cares
My wounds are deep, cut clean, beyond repairs
The darkness grows around, come see, come see, come
My wounds are deep, cut clean, beyond repairs
The darkness grows around, come see, come
My wounds are deep, cut clean, beyond repairs
The darkness grows around, come see, come
My dark-tressed love, from sorrow's hand I claim
A shaft has struck my chest, its wound inflame
Cease tears for your beloved's silken frame
Today, love's heart has burst its bounds, come
A fortress built from grief, my home, my ground
My cries, unheard; my prayers, without a sound
Not one or ten, but countless woes abound
My wounds are deep, cut clean, beyond repairs
The darkness grows around, come see, come
