They laid you into the grave
(They laid you into the grave)
Covered you with a heavy stone
(Covered you with a heavy stone)
I knelt for a long time in the candlelight
But I couldn't bear the emptiness
So I brought you back home, my love
What God once gave us
Death will never take from us
With every new kiss from me
(You wake up, you wake up)
A new heart beats in you
(In the night, in the night)
I was your groom, you my bride
(I was your groom, you my bride)
I preserved you on my skin
(I preserved you on my skin)
I anointed and I combed your hair
Painted you with a soft touch
I entrusted you my heart, my blessing
With every new kiss from me
(You wake up, you wake up)
A new heart beats in you
(In the night, in the night)
Your hair gleams like black silk
Your eyes like crystal
So clear
With every new kiss from me
(You wake up, you wake up)
A new heart beats in you
(In the night, in the night)
Your hair gleams like black silk
Your eyes like crystal
So clear
With every new kiss from me
(You wake up, you wake up)
A new heart beats in you
(In the night, in the night)
Your hair gleams like black silk
Your eyes like crystal
So clear
