I looked for love and then I found disgrace My life dissolved into an empty shade As dead as stones ine the moundering wall His heart was a silent grave My throat in tunes so sadly expressed What grieves my chest so painfully oppressed For your misery I will not sacrifice My holy virgin pride
Ring out the bell let my mourning echo through the walls My heart sleeps so lonely My ghost will seek you at night
Calm was the day though I was trembling hard Calling me to explain to him at court yard Then I refused to marry him at once For his heart was sick with hate
The duke screaming insanely at the court Have her beaded for she denied the lord Her execution a blind man's deed Beheaded her for her faith
I have not sinned nor am I insane Yet you will have me beheaded for believing in the good and honest My cause not defended You caused my death You stabbed my soul and took away the bare earth under my feet From here you will be the one to slowly decay night by night When you see my sad guiltless ghost walking upon you I will carry my head and leave it before your feet
My ghost will seek you at night My angel will seek you at night My ghost will seek you at night My angel will seek you tonight
