Lyrics
In a castle in a valley In the heart of a king This is where my future lies He may take me slowly He may take me with care I'll take him on with pride This is o- This is only the start Of what's to come Lover of my innocence I'm a rose without a thorn Perfect queen by day A younger man comes closer now His fortitude I've seen As I kneel down to pray On your shore On your shore though I've been Anchored from the start Risk it all I've risked it all For a lover from the dark Long let the devil cry Long let the angels sigh A rose without a thorn You will not see me lately I am banished on my throne In heat in blood in stone Nonsuch is the call I hear It's pulsing through my veins In sleet in snow in rain On your shore On your shore though I've been Anchored from the start Risk it all I've risked it all For the beating of my heart Long let the devil cry Long let the angels sigh A rose without a thorn Lover of a king you give up everything Heads will roll Heads will roll For the beating of my heart Risk it all I've risked it all For a lover from the dark On your shore On your shore though I've been Anchored from the start I've risked it all I've risked it all For a lover from the dark Lover of a king you give up everything
