Coronatus - The Monk lyrics

A long time ago lived a monk In dark middle ages he lived He prayed to father and son For the grace of an innocent life line One day he went out to the woods To ease all this heaviness He fled from the monastery walls To the silence and peace of the forest Was it dark grace or was it a spell For whatever you name this old legend I tell The finger of God marked the monk And his entire world was a ship that sunk The monk reached a clearing, a well He sat down to rest for a while So tired he was falling asleep When he woke up a strange feeling caught him When he woke up the breathing was different Was it dark grace or was it a spell For whatever you name this old legend I tell The finger of God marked the monk And his entire world was a ship that sunk He headed towards the monastery gate He begged for entry, he knew he was late The monk at the gate was unknown to him Nameless fear rose, caused sweat on his skin Was it dark grace or was it a spell For whatever you name this old legend I tell The finger of God marked the monk And his entire world was a ship that sunk None of the brothers remember the monk Nor did he remember their faces as well The abbot discovered the name of our monk Noted missing one day 14 decades ago
