Your most gracious majesty Lady of All Parting,
Seems that our endless tale ends up never starting...
Leave some clues implying what you think thereof,
Wasting luck in dying, one earns luck in love.
Your most gracious majesty Lady of Good Fortune,
Once you've turned your back on us, what it's you are watchin'?
Ain't the bullets sighing when they pass above?
Wasting luck in dying, one earns luck in love.
Your most gracious majesty Lady of Compassion,
You showed such a heart for us in the true old fashion.
Half the tears and crying could have been enough,
Wasting luck in dying, one earns luck in love.
Your most gracious majesty Lady of Protection,
Still that dance goes on and on under your direction.
Let's don't give up trying when push comes to shove,
Wasting luck in dying, one earns luck in love.
