We met in silence in the woods in the twilight of last spring
You were promised to a king
We tried to hide behind the flowers our last kiss
You were about to marry a king

Is there a way I can fight for us and liberty
Or the only taste of life is sweet melancholy
Will I have the courage to murder the king
Still you said there is only sweet melancholy
Though I am not afraid

Years went by, oh how they fly and now you are my queen
You are carrying the future king
You were once the one who swore true love to me
Now you reign on me and on my sins

Is there a way I can fight for us and liberty
Or the only taste of life is sweet melancholy
Will I have the courage to murder the king
Still you said there is only sweet melancholy
Though I am not afraid

Yes there are ways I can fight for us and liberty
Still you said there is only sweet melancholy
