sad story

Folder: 
apprenticeship

it's a sad story out there

don't go just by yourself

but if you do,

take a light with you.



she used to have a torch

she led my steps to the right way

but now, her light is just a gleam

the frozen northern wind

has blown it out.



it's dark out there

for long time they've been groopin'.

i've been once there: it's dreary

beneath the cruel frost

my light almost got fallen.  



i need to go, i have to go

to that sad nest

to bring with me the joy

of days passed long ago.



oh God, please mercifully look on us, i plead

just light my frighten'd torch

and lead me through the gloomy shadows

to light the hellish darkness

to stand against the evil waves

yet not me, but you, Master.



now, you go first, prepare the ground

and help me sow the seed in stony souls

and let your word give fruits.



i can't do more

but make your glory shine

and bring them to your peaceful haven,

bring them to your rest.
