Dark clouds overhead they fill me with pain

The heat of your passion now shall elude me

Now in my world the darkness does rule

My horizon so dark like a blanket of death



In the fortress tall lies a lonely rose

In the dungeon dark captive is my soul



The seedling once small they now touch the sky

Burn down the forest burn down the trees

But the masses so grand they block out your light

In the dark of his shadows I now live my life



In the fortress tall lies a lonely rose

In the dungeon dark captive is my soul



In darkness and hatred I sought to elude you

This curse of damnation brings me to repent

But the ages gone past will guide and will teach us

from life we are given to march into death



in the fortress tall lies a lonely rose

in the dungeon dark captive is my soul
