[00:08.00]Her heart underneath
[00:12.50]cries quietly
[00:17.00]This part of me
[00:21.50]I choose not to see
[00:25.50]What lives must I take
[00:31.00]for fealty's sake?
[00:35.50]How much blood must stain
[00:40.00]this warrior's blade?
[00:46.00]War leaves its trail
[00:49.50]in moonlight so pale
[00:50.50]Its shadows they flow
[00:52.50]in rivers, in rivers
[00:55.50]So put on my mask
[00:58.00]I'll go where they ask
[01:00.00]So I might once again see the
[01:02.50]Roses of May
[01:05.00]Staining my soul and stinging my eyes
[01:09.50]The red on my hands
[01:11.50]won't wash away, wash away
[01:13.50]No where to run from what I have done
[01:18.00]I'm no longer, no longer
[01:20.50]a Rose of May
[01:23.50]Fate holds the blade before you
[01:27.50]mirrored in maiden's eyes
[01:32.50]Far from myself I fly
[01:36.00]into the perilous skies
[01:40.00]And they said
[01:44.00]Follow the blade before you
[01:46.00]Fear fall and courage rise
[01:50.00]Leave all your tears behind you
[01:55.00]Far from where innocence lies
[02:09.00]Cage of the kings
[02:13.50]No need for wings
[02:19.00]So turn them to stone
[02:23.00]From roses to bone
[02:28.00]When you look at me
[02:32.00]what do you see?
[02:36.00]This costume I weave
[02:42.00]disfiguring me...
[02:48.50]War leaves its trail
[02:50.00]in moonlight so pale
[02:52.50]Its shadows they flow
[02:54.50]in rivers, in rivers
[02:57.50]So put on my mask
[02:59.50]I'll go where they ask
[03:02.50]So I might once again see the
[03:04.00]Roses of May
[03:06.50]Staining my soul and stinging my eyes
[03:11.50]The red on my hands
[03:13.50]won't wash away, wash away
[03:15.50]No where to run from what I have done
[03:19.50]I'm no longer, no longer
[03:22.50]a Rose of May
[03:24.50]Storm clouds are creeping closer
[03:29.50]Danger is drawing near
[03:34.00]Why am I not protecting all that
[03:38.00]I once held dear?
[03:42.00]And you said
[03:43.00]Break free from all that holds you
[03:47.50]Kings hand and maiden's tear
[03:52.00]run now into my arms
[03:56.50]Together we'll conquer our fears
[04:10.50]Led here by fate
[04:15.00]No longer afraid
[04:20.50]So here now I lay
[04:25.50]My Roses of May
