three colours
I’ll tell you of a time
When blood coloured the sword of a warrior
True love was a crime
For hearts held by a king, as a king had held mine
Scream from the womb
Far better to love than to live in this tomb
Love first opened my eyes
When blood coloured the snow and the raven was
Death drinking in Life
Three colours I know were embodied
In one lover for me
A terrible beauty has set my heart free
And so black was his hair
And so wild his eyes
And his skin was so fair
Till a kingdom of lies
Takes him from me
Born to misery
It’s all over for me
There’s no wisdom can soften a sorrow
That’s deeper than the sea
A heart broken who knows that tomorrow
Will bring only more pain
Far better to die and be with him again
