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
