We met in silence in the woods in the twilight of last spring You were promised to a king We tried to hide behind the flowers our last kiss You were about to marry a king Is there a way I can fight for us and liberty Or the only taste of life is sweet melancholy Will I have the courage to murder the king Still you said there is only sweet melancholy Though I am not afraid Years went by, oh how they fly and now you are my queen You are carrying the future king You were once the one who swore true love to me Now you reign on me and on my sins Is there a way I can fight for us and liberty Or the only taste of life is sweet melancholy Will I have the courage to murder the king Still you said there is only sweet melancholy Though I am not afraid Yes there are ways I can fight for us and liberty Still you said there is only sweet melancholy
