Crusades - 1657 (Black Curtains Draw) lyrics

The salt and soil have settled The hymns escaped the air The view of home obstructed And returns in turn now rare A shadow of itself And he about the same Eyes that shone so brilliant Now perplexed and without aim ‘So close the ground About her shade Black curtains draw My bride is laid' How is your faith now, Father? Do you still trust she'll be there? How she appeared within our dreams Through that harrowing year? I want to believe You're better than this I need to believe you're better I know you need To forget that time I know you need to forget her The course that lay before us Differing in distance
