Lyrics

No more smiles, no more tears, no more prayers, no more fears Nothing left, why go on, when your lover is gone Shout with one, ring the bells, through the towns and the farms With the shouts and the bells, bringing him back to my arms Must each man go to war, ever more, ever more While some loner woman stands empty heart empty hands When the time came to part, and he kissed me goodbye From the depths of my heart came a great lonely cry "Heaven have mercy" "Heaven have mercy" Once again they carved his name upon a cross I remember the dance where we first fell in love How we whirled around and around, while the stars danced above We would walk by the shore, watch the ships sail away Lovers need nothing more, just a new dream each day So we dreamed of a home, with a garden so fine And a son with his eyes, and a nose just like mine Now it's done, why be brave?, why should I live like this? Shall I wait by the grave for my lost lover's kiss? Stop the bell, stop the bell! I have no tears left to cry Must I stay here in hell?, lord above let me die "Heaven have mercy" "Heaven have mercy" "Heaven have mercy"
