Текст песни
Down by the Mondego the water runs cold
A whisper of secrets a story unfolds
You were a shadow in the halls of the great
A stolen glance that sealed our fate
They called you a danger a Castilian stain
But in your eyes I saw through the rain
Just a heart I could answer a hand I could hold
A love more precious than silver or gold
The council is meeting the kings face is stone
They speak of treason and claims to the throne
A fathers fear a serpents kiss
It all comes down to a traitors bliss
Oh Ins! They wrote your name in blood and tears
A ghost in the gardens for a thousand years
They tore the crown from your raven hair
And left my soul in cold despair
They spilled your life on the palace floor
But my love still cries and longs for more
I was out hunting the sky was so clear
I never imagined the darkness so near
Three loyal cowards with daggers so keen
To blot out the sun and murder my queen
You begged for your children you fell to your knees
Your voice was carried away on the breeze
They left you broken beneath their hands
And I returned to a bloodsoaked land
A kingdom of silence a vow I will keep
My vengeance is patient and runs dark and deep
A fathers sin a fathers price
Paid in full beneath cold watchful eyes
Oh Ins! They wrote your name in blood and tears
A ghost in the gardens for a thousand years
They tore the crown from your raven hair
And left my soul in cold despair
They spilled your life on the palace floor
But my love still cries and longs for more
So Ill pull you from the earth wipe the clay from your face
And set you on a throne in sorrow and grace
Ill dress your bones in velvet and silk
And force this court to drink their guilt
Let every lord and lady bow their head
And swear their fealty to the dead
Kiss the cold still hand of my bride
There is nowhere in this kingdom you can hide
Oh Ins! They wrote your name in blood and tears
A ghost in the gardens for a thousand years
They tore the crown from your raven hair
And left my soul in cold despair
They spilled your life on the palace floor
But our love will last forevermore
In Alcobaa two tombs of stone
Forever waiting never alone
Foot to foot so when we rise
Ill see you firstIll see your eyes
Until the end of the world we remain
Beyond all sorrow beyond all pain
