Little creature, keeper of misery
My heart is mine now leave me be
Stop ringing your bells, the story of death will be told
If I had a gun, I know what would unfold

Over plains of earth
And waves of sea
Sorrow lingers on
There is no mirth
It won't leave me be
Sorrow lingers on

Little creature, keeper of sorrow
I told you to stay away but my heart you did borrow
I want it back and for you to never show your face here again
Little creature you are slowly becoming my friend

Over plains of earth
And waves of sea
Sorrow lingers on
There is no mirth
It won't leave me be
Sorrow lingers on

Longing to escape, yearning for freedom
Darkness murders light, will joy ever come?
I am forever stained with the stench of sorrow
For me there is no tomorrow
