It was a story
told for years
When a young girl
dwelled this land
With eyes shone
like the stars
And a smile that
charmed both heaven
and earth
The moon was ashamed
when next to her
When the flowers
bowed their heads
Her songs could
tame the beasts
Her hands
could wave
all sorrows away
Yet that Fate
was envy about
this girl
And a plot was
planned to
lay her down
To a pasture
she was led
Where the grass
was always green
In the midst of
this wonderland
Stood the plant
that'd bring her
permanent end
Yet that Fate
was envy about
this girl
And a plot was
planned to
lay her down
The plant of death
was in her eyes
Sending its fragrant
through the air
Laughter form below
was heard
With a touch
the task was done
Like an arrow
it speared her heart
Like venom
it killed her light
As her body
slowly dropped
Stopped the singing
from around
Her soul left
without a sound
This god of love
was deeply hurt
When the tragedy
was known
It cut right
into his heart
With tears and pain
he flew to her
To end this sorrow
he drawn his sword
How red the blood
that sprayed around
As the thorns grew
around it stem
And the petals
stained in red
Turned the plant
into a rose
