The Judgement of the Rose
guitar chords lyrics
I worked hard to raise a daughter
Who could make her father proud
Through obedience to her family
And strict adherence to the faith
I taught you to follow the rules
And to obey the right man.
I taught you to honour your body
And not cast yourself before the swine
I showed you the straight path
I had just learned you spoke to a man
Out in the streets, in public view
This man was the enemy and the invader
And a blond-hair, blue-eyed infidel
Not only did you speak to this devil
But you dared to fall in love with him too.
And a blond-hair, blue-eyed infidel
Not only did you speak to this devil
But you dared to fall in love with him too.
Thus you brought a great plague upon this house
And there is only one cure
Death to those who dishonour!
How could you have stained me deeply?
How could you have embarrassed me in front of my friends?
Have you no sense of decency?
Have you lost all virtue and respect?
You are no longer my daughter
You are no longer a human being
And if I had known this day would arise
I would have killed you the moment you were born
Death to those who dishonour! / I showed you the straight path
