Blood of the rose

Noble knight, a champion
Upon the finest steed
Golden sword and burnished shield
Before this king I kneeled

Sworn to serve my allegiance
My ladies sword, her colours I wear
Loyal to the end

Deep, dark night you are haunting me
A thousand years have passed
And still I’m not free
I long to see the golden dawn
The blood of the Rose
Is all that’s left in my heart

Stammering and staring
It was their last hour
A madness of farewells
A man had given all other bliss
And all his worldly worth for this
To waste his whole heart in one kiss
Upon her perfect lips

A blood red tear in the raven’s eye
The grandeur lost to grey
Castle walls come crashing down
Lost to those who betray
I’ve lost the heart of my lady
Shattered blade, you can’t save me
Gone for eternity

Deep, dark night you are haunting me
A thousand years have passed
And still I’m not free
I long to see the golden dawn
The blood of the Rose
Is all that’s left in my heart
