in the realm of the black rose

4  playing their melodies I want to know so I can teach my children ohh

Play intro again here:

7  Pray tell me the story of young Cuchulain how his eyes were dark and his
expression sullen

8  And how he'd fight and always won and how they cried when he had fallen

9  Oh tell me the story of the Queen of this land and how her sons died at
her own hands

10 And how fools obey commands Ahh tell me the legends of long ago

Play intro again here:

Spoken over 12,13

12 Where the mountains mourn come down to the sea Rosian Doubh come back to me

13 Rosian Doubh come back to me
