Man is born to understand

Destiny is in his hands

Life becomes the gift that

Guides the dream

All around you everywhere

Time erodes, it rips and tears

Cloaks the thread and hides

Away the key



From the dawning of creation

To the twilight of the world

When you hear it ring

It tolls for thee

Every face of every nation

Waits to watch the flag unfold

You alone know what

Her name will be



Every man must fight to know

The name of the rose

Then you'll hold her close eternally

Each one has the right to know

The name of the rose

Deep inside you know

The name of the rose



Cross the lands of ice and snow

Follow where the four winds blow

Search the skies and all

That lies beneath

Walk the sun burnt desert plains

Beaten by it's anvil rays

One crusade to justify belief



Every man must fight to know

The name of the rose

Then you'll hold her close eternally

Each one has the right to know

The name of the rose

Then you'll know how much

Her name can mean



Only then your heart will show

The key



Only when you seek, you find her

Like a summer breeze reminder

Slowly something stirs the soul

To breathe

Then if you believe you'll find her

Like a memory but kinder

The lovers timeless reach returns

The key

Happy to disclose

The name of the rose



You call my name don't wonder why

You fan the flames that never dies

You trust my ways you never die

You call my name it's justified

You're in my veins you sacrifice

I'm not afraid to give you life
