In Darkness Let Me Dwell lyrics

Song information

Artist: Die Verbannten Kinder Eva's
Album: In Darkness Let Me Dwell...

Lyrics

Sorrow, stay! lend true repentant tears
To a woeful wretched wight
Hence, despair with thy tormenting fears
0 do not my poor heart affright

In darkness let me dwell
The ground shall sorrow be;
The roof despair to bar
All cheerful light from me:
The walls of marble black
That moistened still shall weep;
My music hellish jarring sounds
To banish friendly sleep

(Thus wedded to my woes
And bedded to my tomb
Oh let me living, living die
Till death do come)
