The bells tolled at her passing, and I wept tears of blood
The good life is so fleeting, and destiny is so cruel
My heart is tossed in a sea of pain, and I know that I am alone
She lies cold in her coffin, and all my joy has flown
We were once young and happy, she was my hope and joy

Her sweet eyes were so violent, she charmed my dark brooding heart
The shade of d**h struck my wedding night, and stole my lovely young bride
She calls now I must join her, to sleep cold at her side
