Blood of the Rose - Rick Miller

Noble knight, a champion\nUpon the finest steed\nGolden sword and burnished shield\nBefore this king I kneeled\nSworn to serve my allegiance\nMy ladies sword, her colours I wear\nLoyal to the end\nDeep, dark night you are haunting me\nA thousand years have passed\nAnd still I’m not free\nI long to see the golden dawn\nThe blood of the Rose\nIs all that’s left in my heart\nStammering and staring\nIt was their last hour\nA madness of farewells\nA man had given all other bliss\nAnd all his worldly worth for this\nTo waste his whole heart in one kiss\nUpon her perfect lips\nA blood red tear in the raven’s eye\nThe grandeur lost to grey\nCastle walls come crashing down\nLost to those who betray\nI’ve lost the heart of my lady\nShattered blade, you can’t save me\nGone for eternity\nDeep, dark night you are haunting me\nA thousand years have passed\nAnd still I’m not free\nI long to see the golden dawn\nThe blood of the Rose\nIs all that’s left in my heart
