Mourning Hymn Lyrics

[Chorus]
Goodbye to you unborn one
My child, my daughter, or even my son
I'll be seeing you never again
Cast into unknown, abandoned, I've failed you my child


[Verse 1]
Now I can't sleep, for the voices in me
Scream nothing but torment, sing only of pain
I cannot speak joy unto you
For the peace in me stripped, now settles gloom

[Refrain]
I see your face, though I cannot remember
To my son or my daughter, I will love you forever
I see your face, though I cannot remember
The life in me gone, I will long forever
I will long forever

[Verse 2]
Have you ever wished to feel the completion of life?
To know you've done it and cannot deny
But somehow in this moment of time
You're a painful decision, death by my permission

[Chorus]
Goodbye to you unborn one
My child, my daughter, or even my son
I'll be seeing you never again
Cast into unknown, abandoned, I've failed you my child
Goodbye to you unborn one
My child, my daughter, or even my son
I'll be seeing you never again
Cast into unknown, abandoned, I've failed you my child
[Pre-Chorus]
I see your face, though I cannot remember
To my son or my daughter, I will love you forever
I see your face, though I cannot remember
The life in me gone, I will long forever

[Chorus]
Goodbye to you unborn one
My child, my daughter, or even my son
I'll be seeing you never again
Cast into unknown, abandoned, I've failed you my child
Goodbye to you unborn one
My child, my daughter, or even my son
I'll be seeing you never again
Cast into unknown, abandoned, I've failed you my child

[Post-Chorus]
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
Cast into unknown, abandoned, I've failed you my child
Goodbye
My child, my daughter, or even my son
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, abandoned, I've failed you my child

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
