Lyrics

Tears for my heart?
Prayers for my soul?
My tears are old,
My prayers for naught.
My fate I weave with shuttle old
Here to remain,
Fore’er and e’er.
My life is written, scarlet and black
Here to remain,
Fore’er and e’er,
My love has flown
My tears are old
The land of ghosts,
Calls for my soul.
