See him creeping round the churchyard
For a whole year he's been alone
His sorrow's blows have driven him mad
He sleeps each night by her headstone
There by the bell tower sleeps a stone
I alone can read its text
The fence is a red rooster's throne
He was once the live heart in your breast
On the paling fear is impaled
Each night I now dig down to see
To find and hold close what remains
Of the face that once smiled for me
I spend eternal night there with the bells
A lonely beast cowered in his own hell
I seek each new night, and day is my cell
You once again foil me so well
Come back to me
With my bare hands I dig deep down
To find that which I have most missed
The moon wears her most gorgeous gown
Your cold mouth asks to be kissed
I take you gently by the arm
Your skin parts like cobwebs tearing
And you are losing all your parts
As you escape me once again
I spend eternal night there with the bells
A lonely beast cowered in his own hell
I seek each new night, and day is my cell
You once again foil me so well
Come back to me
So I take to heart all your remains
The night is hot and we are bare
The damned cock greets morning again
I leave him lying beheaded there
