Three and Thirty Years lyrics

[Verse 1]
Three and thirty years I tried
To forget all the tears I cried
Then one who knew me long ago
Appeared upon my lonely road

[Verse 2]
Warning me of trouble soon
And talking me of pending doom
Then all at once he disappeared
And left me in a tomb of fear

[Verse 3]
Pray in silence, brave the cold
A son, a mother, priest and robe
Will hold The Word until their sleep
A dove will fly above the keep

[Verse 4]
Now forever life is gone
Beholden to a sacred song
The sun will too late understand
That dark consumes the light of man
That dark consumes the light of man
