Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
The shadowed past, time's relentless flow,
Upon these cliffs, boiling seas below.
Where is my heart? What did he do?
The cruel hand of fate, If I only knew.
His vows of love, whispered on the breeze,
He swore his heart, my shelter from the seas.
Set sail one morn, before the morning frost,
Beneath the moonlit skies, his life was lost.
(Chorus)
Oh, from the depths of my despair,
Love and loss, too hard to bear.
Seven years, I mourned for thee,
Lost my love, taken by the sea.
These haunted cliffs, a spectre in the night,
These shades in the ghostly moon light.
Along the white cliff-face walls,
Until the ancient boneyard calls
(Verse 2)
Wasn’t the sea and I know you lied,
You filled your bed, with your child bride.
Seven years you hid, and lived your life,
You made me suffer, I was your wife!
Grief of loss and then madness,
Nothing left but, insane sadness,
I found you both, asleep in your room,
I set a fire, it become your tomb.
(Chorus)
Oh, from the depths of my despair,
Love and loss, too hard to bear.
Seven years, I mourned a lie,
I watched you burn, I watch you die.
These haunted cliffs, a spectre in the night,
These shades in the ghostly moon light.
Along the white cliff-face walls,
Until the ancient boneyard calls
(Verse 3)
To the cliffs, blood on my soul,
I didn’t care, about the lives I stole.
Madness, deep in my heart,
To the cliffs, right to the start.
The boiling sea, like a roaring flame,
The waves and rocks, they called my name.
Ann Penny they called, into the night,
Off the Cliff I fell, the sea took my life.
Please listen and tell me what you think.
