Where the Headstones Shine (live at Gamlestaden, Gothenburg 1992) Lyrics


A chilly wind blows

Through the rows of sheaves

In the meadows that shimmer

Far down within

I'm lying alone in the dark, I'm trapped and gone

A sudden chill, great powers summon

Stole my day, the night turns on

For my god of prisoned souls

Take my life and do the best

Let me die you fool you're false

Please take my soul and let me rest

How much longer before

The end of my suffering

Shall I grasp out my life to be a soul

High up but still underground

Knowing that forever torment awaits

The light getting brighter

I can't turn back, I can't resist

In silence not able to move my lips

I watch my body down below

Hope for the eternal

Paradise to come

Now as I await

My forever beauty sleep

Come to your eternal prayer

Where you can silently sleep away

Where you slowly will die

Where the headstones fucking shine
