Dm Her heart under-C neath cries quiet-Dm ly
This part of C me I choose not to Dm see
What lives must I C take for fealty’s Dm sake?
How much blood must C stain this warrior’s Dm blade?
Chorus: War leaves its C trail in moonlight so pale
Its shadows they Bb flow in rivers, in F rivers
So put on my C mask I’ll go where they ask
So I might once a-Bb gain see the Roses of Dm May
Staining my C soul and stinging my eyes
The red on my Bb hands won’t wash away, F wash away
No where to C run from what I have done
I’m no longer, no Bb longer a Rose of Dm May
C Fate holds the F blade before you C mirrored in Dm maiden’s eyes
C Far from my-F self I fly in-G to the perilous C skies
And they said follow the F blade before you C fear
Fall and Dm courage rise A leave all your Dm tears behind you
E Far from where innocence A lies ah Bb ha, ah Dm ha
Cage of the C kings no need for Dm wings
So turn them to C stone from roses to Dm bone
When you look at C me what do you Dm see?
This costume I C weave disfiguring Dm me
Chorus: War leaves its C trail in moonlight so pale
Its shadows they Bb flow in rivers, in F rivers
So put on my C mask I’ll go where they ask
So I might once a-Bb gain see the Roses of Dm May
Staining my C soul and stinging my eyes
The red on my Bb hands won’t wash away, F wash away
No where to C run from what I have done
I’m no longer, no Bb longer a Rose of Dm May
C Storm clouds are F creeping closer C danger is Dm drawing near
C why am I F not protecting Gm all that I once held C dear?
And you said C break free from F all that holds you
C kings hand and Dm maiden’s tear A run now in-Dm to my arms
to-E gether we’ll conquer our A fears
Led here by C fate no longer a-Dm fraid
So here now I C lay my Roses of Dm May
