No more smiles, no more tears   No more prayers, no more fears   Nothing left, why go on   When your lover is gone      When the time came to part   And he kissed me goodbye   From the depths of my heart   Came a great lonely cry:      Heaven have mercy!   Heaven have mercy!      Miners came   They carved his name   Upon a cross...   Shout with one, ring the bells   Throughout the towns   And the farms   Will the shouts and the bells   Bring him back to my arms      Must each man go to war   Evermore, evermore   While some lone woman stands   Empty heart, empty hands      I remember the dance   Where we first fell in love   How we whirled 'round and 'round   While the stars danced above      Now it's done, why be brave?   Why should I live like this?   Shall I wait by the grave   For my lost lover's kiss?      Stop the bells! Stop the bells!!   I've no tears left to cry   Must I stay here in hell?   Lord above, let me die...      Heaven have mercy!   Heaven have mercy!   Heaven have mercy!
