The story of a love too strong to die. Based on the poem, Sir Launcelot and Queen Guinevere as told by Alfred Tennyson with an excerpt read from the poem.
lyrics
Noble knight, a champion,
Upon the finest steed.
Golden sword and burnished shield,
Before this king I kneeled.
Sworn to serve my allegiance,
My ladies sword, her colours I wear.
Loyal to the end.
Deep, dark night you are haunting me,
A thousand years have passed,
And still I’m not free.
I long to see the golden dawn.
The blood of the Rose,
Is all that’s left in my heart.
Stammering and staring,
It was their last hour.
A madness of farewells.
A man had given all other bliss
And all his worldly worth for this.
To waste his whole heart in one kiss.
Upon her perfect lips.
A blood red tear in the raven’s eye.
The grandeur lost to grey.
Castle walls come crashing down,
Lost to those who betray.
I’ve lost the heart of my lady,
Shattered blade, you can’t save me.
Gone for eternity.
Deep, dark night you are haunting me,
A thousand years have passed,
And still I’m not free.
I long to see the golden dawn.
The blood of the Rose,
Is all that’s left in my heart.

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
Dark but designed to move you, this Dallas group uses menacing synths and popping live drum to make heavily rhythmic post-punk. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 13, 2019
