Lyric

Black roses scatter, beautiful and cold

Along with this blade, a story untold

I made a vow, I’ll protect it all

Even if my life is the price for the fall

Betting everything on this final call

Plucking the red roses, one by one

Dancing in a dress, though the day is done

Flaxen hair swaying in the crimson light

Yes, that’s me, the shadow in the night

Raising my sword, I’ll give you a kiss

Swear your loyalty, let nothing go amiss

Inherited majesty, a father’s heavy pride

A mother’s absolute grace, nowhere to hide

Everyone is swallowed by the aura you bring

Everyone stops breathing for the future king/queen

Gazing at the black rose with eyes so kind

If the red rose was given, what would we find?

Wouldn’t it be brighter? Wouldn’t it be true?

Let’s walk together, just me and you

Take my hand, let the light break through

Inherited kindness, a father’s warm care

A mother’s gentle touch, hanging in the air

Everyone is swallowed by the love that you show

Everyone stops breathing as the feelings grow

Black roses scatter, beautiful and cold

Along with this blade, a story untold

Casting aside doubt, I’ve made my stand

To protect the one who holds my hand

I’ll bet my life for this sacred land!

How many have fallen? I’ve lost the count

As the pile of bodies continues to mount

For your sake, I’d break even the rose you love

If it meant keeping you safe in the heavens above

I wished for a future where we’d laugh and be free

But destiny... it won't let us be

In that moment, an arrow pierced the air

Striking your chest while I stood in despair

Slowly you fell, in the corner of my sight

The world turned to grey in the middle of the fight

Black roses scatter, beautiful and cold

Along with this blade, the end is foretold

The red rose I swore to guard with my soul

Is crumbling away, losing control!

Still... I choose the red rose until the end

My broken heart, I can never mend!

A red rose offered to the earth below

A knight collapsing in the evening glow

I offer this loyalty... only to you
