Is this is not a pretty tale?
|
Is this not a riddle?
|
A bow shoots arrows through the air
|
A bow drags notes from a fiddle
|
But who is the beau of a young girl's heart?
|
That a king may send to battle
|
|
Is this not a pretty tale?
|
Is this not a riddle?
|
If red is the breast of soldier's tunic
|
Hung with a silver medal
|
And red is the thorn that protects the rose,
|
A deeper red than the petal
|
How deep is the red our redeemer bled,
|
The debt of our sins to settle?
|
|
How deep is the red?
|
How deep is the red?
|
How deep is the red our redeemer bled?
|
How deep is the red?
|
