lyrics

The nights were long and the days were dark
You only came when the cold set in
The midnight sky and the silent stars
Were the only witness

You sang the hymns of olden times
I'll meet you in the morning light
Skin and bones and blood on stone
Were the only life you knew
Until you became the thief of love

You were a stranger in a strange land
Always hunted by the worst of men
So many delivered by your hand
Either liberty or death

You sang the hymns of olden times
I'll meet you in the morning light
Skin and bones and blood on stone
Were the only life you knew
Until you became the thief of love

I'll never know or truly understand; you're not mine to claim
The scars you owned reflected in this broken land
You showed us the way

You sang the hymns of olden times
I'll meet you in the morning light
Skin and bones and blood on stone
Were the only life you knew
Until you became the thief of love
