Black roses

Each and every empty night, for mercy I plead
As darkness invited me, grabbed me
Took me to my valley of grief

..........Black roses blossom
..........They touched me and I followed

Glorious sadness waited for me, like a thief
To defeat me, rob me over again
Once again, I was hallow...
But this was the last time
Oh, I knew...

And now, these black roses enfolding me,
Hiding me from my love
Ever so flawlessly

..........But don't cry,
Oh, don't cry for me baby

Those thorns don't hurt me anymore
As they blossom on my grave
Ever so graciously

..........But don't cry,
Oh, don't cry for me baby

I will never let you go
Your memories carved into my soul
Ever so deeply

Each and every lonely night, for your love I cried
As fate drew the night across my eye
Bathed me in my tears of love

..........Black roses blossom
..........They touched me and I followed

My demons drove past the back roads of my mind
To hold me, lead me to my end over again,
Once again, I was dying...
But this was the last time
Oh, I knew...

And now, these black roses enfolding me,
Hiding me from my love
Ever so flawlessly

..........But don't cry,
Oh, don't cry for me baby

Those thorns don't hurt me anymore
As they blossom on my grave
Ever so graciously

..........But don't cry,
Oh, don't cry for me baby

I will never let you go
Your memories carved into my soul
Ever so deeply
