(Intro)

ahhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh

(Verse 1)

The stars hung like silver, gems in the night Above the stone fortress, bathed in pale light I climbed to the terrace, where roses bloom wild To meet the High Forest’s ethereal child Our realms are at odds, by the steel and the pine A history written in blood and in wine I knelt on the marble, my crown on the floor To give her a promise, and something much more

(Chorus)

And the torchlight flickered, a reflection of fear The weight of the kingdom was drawing so near The light in her eyes, like a spell from the old As I reached for a hand that I wasn’t to hold

(Verse 2)

She whispered in Elven, a song of the trees A melody carried away on the breeze When heavy boots thundered, on stairs made of stone The King and his guard came to claim back their throne His armor was jagged, his temper was cold He looked at his son like a debt to be sold

(Chorus)

And he called out my name, and it wasn’t with love More like a decree from the heavens above She looked back at me, with the grief in her gaze Then turned and was lost in the silver-leaf haze

(Bridge)

They galloped and vanished, like mist in the air And my heart turned to iron, in the grip of despair Now I am the echo, when the moon rises high The ghost of a secret, under a dark sky

(Outro)

The answer is silence, an unspoken word A love that is fading, a song never heard Love... Love...
