Story behind the song

A warrior's unspoken love for his Queen

Lyrics

Alone with her pride, her passion and pain
My Queen lies alone in the night
And beneath a cathedral-like bower of trees
She looks and she sighs at the vision she sees
The meaning escapes her, her feelings freeze
What wisdom, what knowledge to gain?
Alone with her pride, her passion,
her pain.

My Queen hears the glories they cried
When our brilliant black steeds cantered side by side
The glory days fade like the tide
Leaving white, barren sands
Like the jilted bride.

I, alone, know her pride, her passion and pain
As my Queen lies alone in the night
She's not far from the fires that burned until morn
And she's wearing the garb of the grieved and forlorn
I can't hold her to me and remove this thorn
No wisdom nor knowledge to gain
In all Heaven and earth is worth this
Without her pride, her passion and pain
Without her pride, her passion and pain
Without her pride, her passion and pain
Without her pride, her passion and pain
.....
