White Rose
Heather Dale Lyrics

I'll tell you a tale of when time had no meaning,
Let me recount a story of a time when the concept of time was not established yet.

When legend and history walked hand in hand,
In this era, both legends and real historical events were closely intertwined with each other.

When the swords of the mighty had bested the Dragon,
The strong warriors were able to defeat the ferocious and powerful dragon by using their swords.

But the Elven still walked in the land.
Despite the legendary triumph over the dragon, the Elves continued to exist.

White rose: queen of the summer,
A white rose, symbolic of purity and innocence, is the leader during the summer season.

White rose: queen of the fall,
The same white rose is also the leader during the autumn season.

White rose: the new guard will follow,
The white rose represents the new order or leadership that is about to take over.

White rose: the old guard will fall.
With the emergence of this new leadership, the old ways and regime will no longer hold power.

The sun and the moon were fixed in the heavens.
During that time, it seemed as if the position of the sun and the moon in the sky were unchanging.

The whole world grew weary as summer stood still.
Summer lasted for an extremely long time, and the world seems to have grown tired of it and desired change.

A queen of great courage and the heart of the Dragon
This queen had immense bravery and even held within her the same strength that the dragon once possessed.

Set her throne above the Elf Hill.
She established her authority above the Elven's home, which can signify her power over them.

The queen on her throne called the Elven before her,
She summoned the Elven to come before her on her throne.

And said: look around you; time should march on.
The queen encouraged the Elves to embrace change and to let time pass, urging them to move forward.

I ask you to bow and make history the victor--
The queen requested the Elves to submit to history and allow it to triumph over legends.

The day of the legends is gone.
She declared that the era of legends is over and time will now take its full course.

The people approached her to offer their blessings,
Her subjects showed great respect to her and even offered her their blessings.

And each brought red roses to lay at her feet.
Each of them also offered her red roses, representing love or admiration, as a token of their respect.

While the Elven came forward to lay their last flowers:
The Elven also came to bestow her a gift, the final and the last flowers they will give, which are white colored, representing their surrender or acceptance.

White rose: queen of the summer,
The white rose is still the ruler of summer, as one cycle ends another one begins.

White rose: queen of the fall,
As the fall season arrives, the white rose still reigns as the symbolic leader.

White rose: the new guard will follow,
The white rose represents the upcoming leadership and the order that it brings.

White rose: the old guard will fall.
The previous regime will be replaced with the new one, led by the white rose.

The cycles of time weave the world in their circles,
The cycle of time is continuous, like a never-ending circle that shapes and dictates the world.

And the flower-crowned queen is among us again.
The white rose leader has re-emerged again to reign.

While the Elves have their place in the verses of legend
The Elves are no longer a part of history but continue to exist in myth and legends.

But not in the history of Man.
They are not remembered anymore in the documented history of humanity.
