A Lone Rose

My queen, hear me
Heed my longing cry
Your rule is failing
Our love weeps tonight

We stand close
Bound in silence
Cold tears flow
Your heart a lone rose

My queen, hold me
My sweet ray of light
Come follow me
To where the stars hear your plight

In sorrow
In solace
Together we stand
Against this shadow of dread

I’ve yearned for
These frozen moments
In your arms I unfold

Stay with me this night
Let me share your pain
May our oaths rebind
As I guide you to the flame

Darkness cast from our souls
White fire burns through our bones
This world we leave as one
Rise now above the flames
Far from mortal hate
Far from eternal nightfall

Hold me close
Savour my touch

The veil falls away
Your beauty remains
Distant fires dim their light
Yet your beauty remains

This fiend is not you
Rending flesh from bone
One misspoken word
And our world burns

My queen, hold on
Don’t fade away
My setting sun

Please
Stay with me
Please
Don’t fade away
