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 !
