[00:10.29] When I recall his parting words
[00:15.87] Must I accept his fate
[00:20.75] Or take myself far from this place
[00:26.66] I thought I heard a black bell toll
[00:33.51] A little bird did sing
[00:37.14] Man has no choice
[00:39.88] When he wants every thing
[00:46.67] We'll rise above the scarlet tide
[00:51.35] That trickles down through the mountain
[00:57.68] And separates the widow from the bride
[01:12.71] Man goes beyond his own decision
[01:18.43] Gets caught up in a mechanism
[01:23.66] Of swindlers who act like kings
[01:29.71] And brokers who break everything
[01:35.61] The dark of night was swiftly fading
[01:41.71] Close to the dawn of day
[01:46.42] Why would I want him just to lose him again
[01:55.53] We'll rise above the scarlet tide
[02:01.13] That trickles down through the mountain
[02:07.11] And separates the widow from the bride
[02:12.18]
