Black Rose

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 lost
Is it ever found?
If it's been boughtThen let them hear this sound
