Rose and Cross - so is the battle lost? Is there now no time to jive? Rose and Cross - you know the price it's cost? But the hope is still, the hope is still alive Rosicrucius - is your story told? Or is there still more to come? Rosicrucius - from my simple soul I shall eat the morning, eat the morning sun Chorus: If I was ordered not to travel another mile If I was told I could never see another city There is one thing I'll always hold, that's the smile Of the symbol that is peace, the white, white dove Rose and Cross - can we ever toss All our prejudice aside? Rose and Cross - turn this petty loss into hope and glory, hope and glory with pride? Rosicrucians - paint your symbols fair write your verses in the sand Rosicrucians - you missed Baudelaire But we still extend, we still extend our hand...
