Twilight Prayers in the Cloister – Amy McMaiden

My first single? It’s about a grieving mother who has lost her son. I created this song for all mothers who bear that sorrow. You can view my music video at amymcmaiden.uk, rtvchannel.com, and of course, on YouTube.

Twilight Prayers in the Cloister

[Verse 1]
At the back of the silent monastery
A mother whispers through her pain
Her heart heavy with every knock
Her son lies here beneath the strain
Sometimes he stumbles sometimes he breaks
Every wound a tale of pride
Oh how she yearns for just one breath
One last embrace before goodbye

[Chorus]
Oh my son you fought so brave
For honor’s name for freedom’s wave
In the shadows of the falling dawn
You gave your all now I’m alone
Together we’ll rise forever we’ll roam
Dig a grave for him and me
In this place where love is sewn

[Verse 2]
The sister’s voice a solemn sound
Your son dear heart he’s no more here
All his suffering has departed
He found his peace without fear
Yet how she feels the weight of loss
In a churchyard they lay their claim
A mother’s heart forever torn
Together they thrive beyond the pain

[Bridge]
In the twilight where shadows blend
They fight together not alone
For every tear a bitter trend
In God’s embrace they’ve found a home
A love like this can never fade
With every heartbeat hope is laid

[Outro]
Now they fight forever their spirits soar
Yes forever for God’s throne
In the light of love they are reborn
In hearts united they’re never alone

Oh my son you fought so brave
Oh my son you fought so brave
