A life for Rose lyrics

In shadows deep, where moonlight softly fades I walk the paths through desolate arcades I see the walls where ivy tightly clings And hear the silent dirge the midnight sings I wander now through secret gardens I dreamed of Where spectral mist ascends from hollowed ground above A life for a rose I planted, now decays Its velvet petals wilt in endless maze Lies told that I buried, beneath the cold, hard stone A fragile beauty left to weep alone Oh, the fate that binds me, cruel and stark I'm bleeding with these thorns surrounding me in the dark The earth absorbs the promises I swore A whispered vow that time cannot restore The heavy air hangs thick with bitter scent Of passions spent and innocence all rent Perhaps destiny wants to tell us that planted flowers cannot scream Just wither slow within this waking, haunted dream A life for a rose I planted, now decays Its velvet petals wilt in endless maze Lies told that I buried, beneath the cold, hard stone A fragile beauty left to weep alone Oh, the fate that binds me, cruel and stark I'm bleeding with these thorns surrounding me in the dark The crimson drops upon the blackest leaf Are all the tears that grant my soul relief No gardener comes to soothe the wounded stem Just silent judgment on my diadem Surrounding me The thorns surround No sound, no sound Just thorns surrounding me
