Mourn for Her Lyrics

She once was a wonder - pure and new
From the child the beauty grew
Now she's been ravaged by excess
A sin to which she can't confess

I fear it's much too late
Seems the damage has been done

I used to watch the wind
Stroke through her golden hair
I'd lose myself in her deep blue eyes
Seldom angry - often calm - romantic fertility
Always by my side - all we need she provides

We speak of hope for tomorrow
But do nothing today
We're losing our grip
Poison runs through her veins
She's fading away
Overcome by the pain
Mourn for her

We open the book to find we're on the last page
Raise the curtain - they've set the stage
An old and tired woman who can give no more
The curtain closes - return to void
