Eldruna - Mama Don't Cry Lyrics

Verse 1

Mama don't cry, I came back through the cold

With my hands full of ash and my heart still whole

I heard your prayers on the far black wind

They kept my feet when the night grew old

Who lift me up? Who called my name?

The sky goes dark, we will praise the flame

Mama, hear me now, I'm still standing here (still standing here)

From the deep, deep snow to the altar of tears

Chorus

Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry

We were made for the fire, we were made to rise

Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry

Oh, Mama don't cry

We got blood in our soul and the Lord on our side

Verse 2

I saw the wolves by the frozen light

But I kept your hymn like a torch in my spine

Hands on the table, feet on the ground

I broke that sorrow by the holy sound

You said, "Child, let the sorrow pass"

So I drew my grief like a cup to the glass

Pre-Chorus

Who lift me up? Who called and stayed?

When the old fear shakes, we will shout it away

Mama, hear me now, I'm not coming down (I'm not coming down)

From the mountain of ash to the holy ground

Chorus

Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry

We were made for the fire, we were made to rise

Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry

Oh, Mama don't cry

We got blood in our soul and the Lord on our side

Bridge

Hallelujah, I was lost in the deep

Hallelujah, but the storms still keep

Hallelujah, let the old chains break

Hallelujah, for the living's sake

Say it now, say it loud

Let the grave be empty, let the sorrow bow

Oh baby, I hear you

I hear you through the storm

Chorus

Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry

We were made for the fire, we were made to rise

Mama don't cry, Mama don't cry

Oh, Mama don't cry

Outro

Oh, Mama don't cry (oh, Mama don't cry)

We got blood in our soul (blood in our soul)

Mama don't cry (Mama don't cry)

Keep on singing 'til the hard night breaks

And the dawn runs bright
