In the heart of Thalor, where the spires rise,
Three sandstone towers pierce the skies.
Among those streets, where shadows play,
I found a love I could not stay.
Her smile was bright, her soul untamed,
But my heart whispered, "Leave her unclaimed."
For though she bloomed beneath the sun,
I knew, in time, I’d be the one
To steal her light, to weigh her down,
A rose that would wilt if I stayed around.
Chorus
O desert rose, I leave you now,
To the winds, to the stars, I make this vow.
For though I love, I set you free,
To grow where I could never be.
O desert rose, in Thalor's light,
May you bloom without my shadow in sight.
Verse 2
She danced through the market, laughter light,
A vision of freedom in the falling night.
But I am the storm that breaks the sky,
And her spirit, like the wind, must fly.
I watched her spin through the endless sands,
But knew my grip would chain her hands.
So I let her go, with heart held tight,
To wander alone through the endless night.
Chorus
O desert rose, I leave you now,
To the winds, to the stars, I make this vow.
For though I love, I set you free,
To grow where I could never be.
O desert rose, in Thalor's light,
May you bloom without my shadow in sight.
Bridge
For love that binds, it burns too bright,
It holds you close, but steals your light.
I could not stay, though my heart did yearn,
For I am a lesson you should never learn.
The desert calls you, winds of change,
And I must wander, far and strange.
Verse 3
Now the seas are wide, the stars are cold,
And I’m left with stories never told.
In every wave, in every sigh,
I see her face, but say goodbye.
She will bloom, where I could not roam,
A desert rose, forever home.
Chorus
O desert rose, I leave you now,
To the winds, to the stars, I make this vow.
For though I love, I set you free,
To grow where I could never be.
O desert rose, in Thalor's light,
May you bloom without my shadow in sight.
Outro
O desert rose, in sands so wide,
I leave my love, but not my pride.
For in your freedom, you will grow,
A desert rose—forever so.
