Only Black Roses Live Now - Act 1

Word has reached A distant planet out their Semaj, this ancient Celt In ancestral despair His droid Etto Has bulletins relayed The last human on earth In final death display Civilisation as he knew it Has gasped its last breath For the butterfly winged angels Has left earth in death For once again their desire To gain the orb of life Has left the world as he knows it In death dying decaying strife For weeks he travels To a world he once knew In ancestral pilgrimage Answers he pursues He arrives through earths atmosphere Human eyes will never see He lands near Loch Torridon Kingdom of the King Kane family Whats left of his village Bodies drained of their life Children and the elderly Man and his wife For the very last time He views his ancestral surround For on these peat laden glens Black Roses abound Alba, his country In death dying decay As he speeds through its glens Black Roses display He reaches the lowlands And its riches of soil But nothing else grows Black Roses spoil Moments later There is the sound of a sonic boom Black clouds above separate Lights appear through the gloom
