White dove lay lifeless on a crown of thorns 
Beside a broken sword 
Whirlwind blew out a candle 
Heartrending cry 

Tears were streaming down her face 
Cold dread of death black cursed embrace 
An endless nightmare croacked on the brink of despair 
She felt she would die 

Her thoughts flew to his brave betrothed 
It was so long ago! 
Sweet loving eyes of thee so far from mine 
She felt she would die 

Sweetheart, my light cruel fate calls me to fight 

Sudden shadows fell on me 
Was the dream of white dove a message of thee? 

You may be wrong 
May he live long! 
How many winters 
What cold you suffered in the pale warmth of hope 

Gloomy icy blast from battlefront 
Blew his dumb ashes back to court 
Atropos broke fine thread of his life 
She felt she would die 

Calling from the highest hissing tower 
Corvine shades abducted her murdered soul 
Birds of ill omen stained the sky 
She felt she would die 

Jewel, my love the war is calling from above 

Sudden shadows fell on me 
Was the dream of white dove a message of thee? 

Was not only a dream 
Of suffocated beam 
Harmonic torment 
Tragedy masked in romantic dress 

The tower was calling...she climbed the stairs to breathe better the death 

...and the heaven was bleeding 
She dressed in snow flickering as lily in storm 
Like a dove flew up 

E i cielo tinto nel rubino 
Stringeva al seno suo il muto giglio, 
Spenta la rosa nel viso candido bambino 
Ricamava la parca fatal il sigillo vermiglio, 
Igneo affluente del gentil ruscel diamante 
Dolce scivolava al freddo mar del pianto. 
Fragil ebbro d'amor libravasi lo spirto vagante, 
E la terra la bruma copriva d'incanto‰
