The Abbey

An ancient abbey on the field
Like a rock against the night
It also can become your shield
A room aglow by candlelight
Filled by the smell of peat
Men were sitting side by side
All the brothers live in peace
Do their labor every day
Here they all feel at ease
This place could be everywhere
Also inside your home
Look and you will find it there
I can hear the preacher say
Your time will fly away
But eternity
Will remain forever
Time to regret your sins
An ancient abbey on the field
Like a rock against the night
It also can become your shield
A room aglow by candlelight
Filled by the smell of peat
Men were sitting side by side
All the brothers live in peace
Do their labor every day
Here they all feel at ease
This place could be everywhere
Also inside your home
Look and you will find it there
