This Stone

Upon this stone I write my name in blood

I do this for the sake of love

For your love you did take

Upon this stone my heart did break

No roses grow upon this stone

For the warmth and love you now withhold

Thorns now take their place

For the tears coming from my face

Upon this stone

I feel so cold

This coldness could freeze a man so bold

Though I am young

I feel quite old

Upon this stone

I am wrapped in chains

I don’t know if I can stand this pain

How to go on I do not know

Shall I forever remain upon this stone

Someone come and kill me now

For upon this stone I lower my brow

To take life’s final bow

Upon this stone wolves eat my remains

My body consumed while my blood stains

They eat the meat, but leave the bones

Of the man once upon this stone

Upon this stone

I will say

Though I am gone

My love shall forever remain

UPON THIS STONE
