But one day, he met the darkness
And all whom he thought loyal
Became his enemies.
They wanted his crown, his throne, his rose
And his death
Though they could not get any of that
At least not until he would fulfill his destiny.
Not until the rose turned green,
The dragon red.
Not until the rose fell red
In the big sea of darkness and
Was washed ashore by the breath of the dragon.
Not until he would meet
The First Queen of Asturias.
