Shroud of Flowers Lyrics


Dying when the sun goes down,

dying over the waves, facing the sky,

where agony is like a dream.

My soul: a bird embracing its flight

Silence forever.

I will hear

no more cries.

Dying when all light

has faded into the night.

I will be the sun

slowly drowning in the sea.

(x2)

Dying, and young;

before time

raises its crown,

when life says

"I am yours".

Dying when all light

has faded into the night.

I will be the sun

slowly drowning in the sea.

(x2)

Mother, I'm tired and craving to sleep.

I want to rest my head on your chest.

Open your arms,

and may flowers grow

on my grave.
