The Abbey

An ancient abbey on the field
like a rock against the night
it will also be your shield

a room aglow by candlelight
filled with the smell of peat
men were sitting side by side

I can hear the preacher say
your time will fly away
but eternity
will remain forever
time to regret your sins

the brothers all live in peace
do their labor every day
here they all feel at ease

this place could be everywhere
as well inside your home
look and you will find it there
