Nightingale

Bid his love to carry through darkness and
Beyond the grave
Stained with grief
The tears fall like rain through
Crimson sacrifice
Find forevermore in vain
Keep the memory locked deep within
Like a thorn of a rose
Piercing through the heart
Final farewell reaps life from her veins
And through it all the nightingale sings
Blinded by abidingly haunting hope that love prevails
Find forevermore in vain
Keep the memory locked deep within
All the vows once ardently made
Vanish into the night
What is joy to her
To him is pain
Find forevermore in vain
Keep the memory locked deep within
Like a thorn of a rose
Piercing through the heart
Final farewell reaps life from her veins
And through it all the nightingale sings
