lyrics

She was his flower and he was her king
for him she might have done anything
a starry eyed bride with her knight by her side
all the world opens itself wide

It must've been sweet sweeping her off her feet
then standing over her dying
Cut like a lamb and the blood's on your hands
Covered in dirt from the lion

Oh swallow her up, swallow her up
as she's crying
Lay her down low where no one can go
where no one knows Romeo Rising

He was well known unti they were alone
and there a hideous creature was scheming
Waiting to strike in the safety of night
Under where their children lay dreaming

Oh swallow them, swallow them up
as they're crying
Look in their eyes, tell them that it's alright
They're in the hands of Romeo Rising

So high to climb, so far to fall
So much to keep you above it all
You play out your part with a rage in your heart
that leaves you so far outside the walls
When you're alone in your room
with no one to answer to
I hope you can't erase her pale lifeless face
and that it stays forever with you
forever with you
