King of Stone


Under the tree her body laid

A red-stained dress and a necklace of jade

With her in his arms he remains still

Atop the cherry blossom hill

As the centuries pass they will be forgotten

For the fight has been lost and their kingdom has fallen

In life they could never be apart

In death they remain heart to heart

A queen of bone, still beautiful as ever

And a king of stone, who will stay with her forever
