In the old church, I have witnessed
A young man and young woman taking an oath
Kneeling in front of the altar
In each hand, they held a dagger
If I were already dead, my only request
Visit, my love, the orphaned grave
And when you hear the cries and lamentations
Our oath shall have ended
CHORUS
And when you hear the ringing of the bell
In the old church, take time to visit
Kneel, my love, in front of the altar
And pray for the departed beloved
[Repeat 2nd Stanza]
[Repeat CHORUS twice]
CODA
Kneel, my love, in front of the altar
And pray for the departed beloved
