Michael Alø - Cold Beneath The Stones Lyrics

Down by the river where the shadows lie
There's a grave that the townsfolk pass by
They say it holds a restless soul
Trapped in the earth, with no place to go

Once he was a man of pride and strength
But pride can be a weapon at length
He lost his way to greed and sin
Now the earth won't let him in

Cold beneath the stones, he cries
For the life he lost, for the endless lies
No peace to find, no rest to own
He's forever cold beneath the stones

They say at night when the moon is pale
You can hear his voice upon the gale
Whispering secrets of a life gone wrong
In the mournful tune of a sorrowful song

The river flows with a silent grief
Carrying tales of a life too brief
The stones they guard the sins untold
And the soul that lingers in the cold

Cold beneath the stones, he cries
For the life he lost, for the endless lies
No peace to find, no rest to own
He's forever cold beneath the stones

The river flows with a silent grief
Carrying tales of a life too brief
The stones they guard the sins untold
And the soul that lingers in the cold

Cold beneath the stones, he cries
For the life he lost, for the endless lies
No peace to find, no rest to own
He's forever cold beneath the stones

No one knows the deeds he's done
But the earth remembers every one
The wind it weeps, the trees they moan
For the man who's left to die alone

So if you pass that lonely grave
Where the willow trees in silence wave
Say a prayer for the restless ghost
Who's lost in the dark, his heart a ghost

The stones they hold his memory tight
Beneath the cold and the endless night
He'll never find his way back home
Forever cursed to roam alone

Cold beneath the stones, he cries
For the life he lost, for the endless lies
No peace to find, no rest to own
He's forever cold beneath the stones

As the night fades into gray
His whispers slowly drift away
But the chill remains, the wind still groans
For the soul that's cold beneath the stones
