Reminiscences of the Mourner - Tristitia

I read the holy Epitath

On your grave stone

Down on my knees, I say a pray

As the rains falls down on me

Tears of blood begin to flow

Your remains for ever I will mourn

Life awaits beyond the stars

In oblivion on Earth we fall

For peace in Heaven we yearn

Or in flames we all shall burn

Thousand years of sadness

Envelop my soul

Eternal seems the pain, it crosses my path of life

As I gaze towards the horizon

Into another mirage I fall

I hear Death’s voice calling

Through the shadows I walk

Behold, great Lord

Should I go on

Tell me, great Lord

Or should I just end all this

Tristitia, Tristitia

Endless grief, endless grief

Thinking of all those years

Have drained off all my tears

Eternal seems the pain, it crosses my path of life

As I gaze towards the horizon

Into another mirage I fall

I hear Death’s voice calling

Through the shadows I walk

Behold, great Lord

Should I go on

Tell me, great Lord

Or should I just end all this

Tristitia, Tristitia

Endless grief, endless grief
