Heather Dale - White Rose Lyrics

LYRICS IN THE DESCRIPTION!

I'll tell you a tale of when time had no meaning,
When legend and history walked hand in hand,
When the swords of the mighty had bested the Dragon,
But the Elven still walked in the land.

White rose: queen of the summer,
White rose: queen of the fall,
White rose: the new guard will follow,
White rose: the old guard will fall.

The sun and the moon were fixed in the heavens.
The whole world grew weary as summer stood still.
A queen of great courage and the heart of the Dragon
Set her throne above the Elf Hill.

White rose: queen of the summer,
White rose: queen of the fall,
White rose: the new guard will follow,
White rose: the old guard will fall.

The queen on her throne called the Elven before her,
And said: look around you; time should march on.
I ask you to bow and make history the victor--
The day of the legends is gone.

White rose: queen of the summer,
White rose: queen of the fall,
White rose: the new guard will follow,
White rose: the old guard will fall.

The people approached her to offer their blessings,
And each brought red roses to lay at her feet.
But the Elven came forward to lay their last flowers:
White as the summer's defeat.

White rose: queen of the summer,
White rose: queen of the fall,
White rose: the new guard will follow,
White rose: the old guard will fall.

The cycles of time weave the world in their circles,
And the flower-crowned queen is among us again.
While the Elves have their place in the verses of legend
But not in the history of Man.

White rose: queen of the summer,
White rose: queen of the fall,
White rose: the new guard will follow,
White rose: the old guard will fall.

[cricketgirl1913]

I would fit in so much better back in the middle ages -.- then i could be one of the elves or hang out with them and life would be so much better

[FallingStar239]

@bellabradley4ever It's all a matter of interpretation. One way you could look at it is that the queen mentioned in the song could be time itself, saying that the age of faeries and Elves is up. That's how I see it.Or you could take it literally word for word, in which case it would seem that Man took over the lands, and the mystical times of old ended, becoming mere legends of the mist.

[Astelon27]

And that is why there are no elves left. History would have been so much more awesome with elves.

@hangedmantarot Thank you. x

@bellabradley4ever it is about a queen of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms) and her call for people who had Fantasy personas (Elves and the like) to stop being elves as the SCA is supposed to be as historically accurate as they can be. Heather Dale is a SCAdian (a SCA member) and is a very respected member of that community
