[Lyrics]
One by one
The petals fall
To the floor below
To end it all
Another day
Another life
It's time to stop the quarrelling
It's time to end the strife
Another hour
As the pain just seems to pass
Another fallen petal means
Another wasted chance
Another one in bloom
For another purchased soul
Was it worth the sacrifice,
For the strings you want to pull?
The black rose blooms
One for every fallen soul
But drenched in blood,
It's a curse in a disguise
The seeds are sewn at your discord
Though there's a thorn
For every truth among the lies
Day by day
The petals die
Counting down
The remainder of the lie
Another day
Another faded love
A shade of everything
Reflected in the blood
The rose is coloured red
A beautiful disguise
Maybe one day
You'll see through it with your eyes
The black rose blooms
One for every fallen soul
But drenched in blood
It's a curse in a disguise
The seeds are sewn at your discord
Though there's a thorn
For every truth among the lies
One by one
The petals change
This transaction
So calm, and yet so strange
A soul is lostIs it ever found?
If it's been bought
Then let them hear this sound
Black Rose
I wrote this song back when I was in high school. This was probably among the first twenty songs I ever wrote. It was originally just written to a guitar loop from SpliceMusic.com back when that was a thing. I dug it up because it was one of my friend's favourite songs of mine, and I wanted to re-record it truer to the original than the version that exists on "Come To The Dark Side". I'm actually still fond of this despite me not being very fond of pretty much anything I wrote in high school, so I guess that's something!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the track. :)
