The Tears of Rowena This cruel news that the winds have told me My heart is broken That oath is undone Your body now is ashes Your soul has fallen to hell Your black sins stain the earth And my soul cries Now it is my duty To make this tragedy The last of its kind O First One I failed Evil tamed him And now in hell My light won’t reach him So much darkness unfurls I’m wasting away The light is fading from this world I am one of the lasts Who honors the light And I’m fading more each day O First One I failed Evil tamed him And Now in hell My light won’t reach him O First One I failed Now he’s alone The tears of Rowena Will flow forever Ah ! Ah ! What have I done ! I wasn’t there to protect him ! No ! No ! No ! The fault is mine ! I am the one who failed Me, heir of the bright light ! No ! My pride and honor has been stained I have lost definitely this fight I don’t deserve anymore To get back to my shores My life must be abhorred Rotten now is my core The flame will now consume me Hoping that you’ll be free ! Now I’m alone with my cries ! Cursed am I ! Cursed am I ! Cursed am I ! Now I should die ! #symphonicmetal #powermetal #fantasy
