In the Name of the Rose Songtext
von Timo Tolkki's Avalon

How...
How innocence is dying here tonight
In the morning sun
And all that we fought for
Just embers that are glowing in the dark
When the day is done
Still innocence just has to die
Pure and simple, beautiful
And sorrow still fills my broken heart

In the name of the rose
Die in the rose
Looking through the morning haze I realize
In the name of the rose
Die for the rose
Everything I′ve ever been forevermore
In the name of the rose


Dying
The innocence is dying here tonight
We got to move on
Fighting
We got to keep on fighting 'til the end
We got to journey on
Towards the avalon we go
The best is yet to come so follow me
And others to the promised land

In the name of the rose
Die in the rose
Looking through the morning haze I realize
In the name of the rose
Die for the rose
Everything I′ve ever been forevermore
In the name of the rose

Aaahh, aaahh, aaaaahh

In the name of the rose
Looking through the morning haze I realize
I'm dying for the rose
I'm fighting for -
Everything I′ve ever been forevermore


In the name of the rose
Die in the rose
Looking through the morning haze I realize
In the name of the rose
Die for the rose
Everything I′ve ever been forevermore
In the name of the rose
