Lyrics
TITLE: EUROPA
VERSE 1
In a stone‑carved palace where the pale roses climb,
Europa leans dreaming at her window lost in time.
Moonlight on her tresses like a veil of silver rain,
She waits above the silence for a love to break her chain.
Soft winds kiss the garden where the nightingales all sing,
But she listens for the footfall of a knight, her everything.
PRE‑CHORUS
Her heart is a lantern in the long and lonely night,
Glowing for the promise of a rider dressed in light.
CHORUS
Europa, Europa, maiden of the moon,
Waiting for her destiny to find her very soon.
Europa, Europa, roses at her side,
Dreaming of the silver knight who comes to be her guide.
Europa, Europa, longing to be free—
A Cinderella waking to the life she’s meant to see.
VERSE 2
The palace walls are heavy with the weight of ancient days,
Her hours filled with drudgery, the quiet, endless haze.
Yet still she keeps her vigil where the moonlit roses grow,
Imagining his armor with its silver shimmering glow.
He rides across the kingdoms with her name upon his breath,
A prince who breaks the shadows and the spell of living death.
PRE‑CHORUS
Her dreams are woven tapestries of freedom’s gentle call,
A world beyond the tower and the cold unfeeling hall.
CHORUS
Europa, Europa, maiden of the moon,
Waiting for her destiny to find her very soon.
Europa, Europa, roses at her side,
Dreaming of the silver knight who comes to be her guide.
Europa, Europa, longing to be free—
A Cinderella waking to the life she’s meant to see.
BRIDGE
And when the dawn is rising, she will hear his armor ring,
A promise forged in starlight carried on a silver wing.
He’ll lift her from the window where her lonely vigil grew,
And take her to a kingdom where her heart can bloom anew.
FINAL CHORUS
Europa, Europa, maiden of the moon,
Your prince is riding swiftly—he will find you soon.
Europa, Europa, roses in the breeze,
Your fairy‑tale beginning whispers softly through the trees.
Europa, Europa, fate has heard your plea—
Tonight the silver knight will set your dreaming spirit free.
