Verse 1
My heart walked across a razors edge.
To the end of a cliff and stood on the ledge.
Looking down to see a spiral of flames.
Pain and pleasure combine in a name.
The name a mystery I can't quite know.
A vision of beauty from a place full of woe.
A dream that dances and dies in her eyes.
In a time of forever darkness cries.
Chorus
It’s the tale of the rose.
It’s the tale of the rose you and I
Verse 2
In a mystic language only time has forgot.
A hidden message left in our blood to clot.
A secret only lovers know.
That opens the door and solves the code.
A message that feeds like a parasite.
Dispelling darkness. Ending night.
Eternity sits in our hands a moment.
As droplets from her tongue help end the torment.
Chorus 2x
It’s the tale of the rose.
It’s the tale of the rose you and I
Verse 3
We touch each other and flesh starts to burn.
Together forever stomachs eternally churn.
Below a granite stone stands a solitary rose.
Written on the stone above. Eternally close.
Chorus 4x
It’s the tale of the rose.
It’s the tale of the rose you and I
