Mark Avison - Nine Days Lyrics

Hear the tales told of bravery unknown
Of the blood spilt so darkly on the stone
Of our lady so innocently used
Of our lady so wrongfully accused

In the dark night only starlight
Knows that you might face the day alone
When the dawn plays what your soul prays
Just for nine days lay across your throne

So our child queen a slender freckled flower
By a window inside the castle tower
Those around you conspiracy they weave
And the walls feel your heart and courage cleave

In the dark night only starlight
Knows that you might face the day alone
When the dawn plays what your soul prays
Just for nine days lay across your throne

Over green fields and then across the sand
Take the freedom and you will take my hand
All the memories will be written true and fair
All the memories will be heard never despair

No remorse, no repentance where you're lain
There's no image of your face or of your pain
When your eyes cast across the leaden sky
Over cold stone we hear the ravens cry

In the dark night only starlight
Knows that you might face the day alone
When the dawn plays what your soul prays
Just for nine days lay across your throne
