Never raising my eyes from the road long gone
Having walked this road a thousand times
Will walk it a thousand more
Needing nothing more than your memory to light my way

You lit a candle in my dark world
Warmed the hart which stopped beating so long ago
I never deserved your love
And yet you loved me, without conditions, without questions

I know you would have followed me into eternity
If I had asked
Knowing my kiss would bring eternal life to your body
But only death to your soul
I newer did

I will love you forever, my black rose, you whispered
As I held you tight
You never broke your promise
A mortals forever is so short

Standing once again at the place where we first met
Tears of crimson running down my cold white cheeks
Still holding on to your memory
Your memory and a single black rose
A rose as black as my immortal soul
