The Rose

Spiraling stairs mark the way of the rose Where hearts fight the battles of love See the dark princess presiding in red And the castle that shines from above One is the siren, the other is home But take care, there is more than you see Remember your promise, oh, child of the grave Make your choice carefully Kindness betrayed you and set you against The ones who abuse and control And yet it repaid with so precious a friend A kindred and complement soul Though she is your joy and your reason to be You are shying away from the world Yes, love isn't always so simple a thing Do you know? Have you heard? When stars are just lights on the ceiling And when that something eternal is found Though purring of engines should call you away Don't ever give in to the sound Prince, will you bring revolution and pierce The shell of the world with a sword? A chorus of shadows tells riddles and warns Of fate and the hero's reward Your signet has carried you many a year Do you so lightly throw it aside? Defend the white rose, and so vanquish the pain That imprisons your bride When stars are just lights on the ceiling And when that something eternal is found Though purring of engines should call you away Don't ever give in to the sound When stars are just lights on the ceiling And when that something eternal is found Though purring of engines should call you away Don't ever, don't ever give in to the sound Oh-oh-oh
