Orthodox Celts - Green Roses lyrics

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
