Green Roses - Orthodox Celts

At the crack of the dawn thunder and lightning crossed the way

The shadow of knight waited to see the bright light of the day

Nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of rain

The river of blood under his feet run wild again and again

Chorus:

The green roses will grow

While green fields turn to red

Only memory remains

Of hero and his faith

He just stood and he stared with a sword in his hand

Under the bridge of rainbow’s gold he fought for his land

The black crow stole his destiny and flew from the cross

Flyin' high, goin' so far to take his soul away

Chorus:

The green roses will grow

While green fields turn to red

Only memory remains

Of hero and his faith

At the crack of the dawn thunder and lightning crossed the way

The shadow of knight waited to see the bright light of the day

Nobody saw his bitter tears through the dark veil of rain

The river of blood under his feet run wild again and again

Chorus:

The green roses will grow

While green fields turn to red

Only memory remains

Of hero and his faith
