(Verse 1) In the shadow of my ancient wall, Where no sunlight ever dares to fall, Grows a rose steeped in silent grief, Touched by cold night winds without relief. It stretches its thorns into the dark, Where no ray of light leaves a mark. (Chorus) Oh, wild rose deep in my garden's shade, How long will you wait as the shadows fade? Your crimson petals softly weep and fall, As silence turns the garden to a tomb for all. A dark dream born in sorrow and pain, Lost forever in the freezing rain. (Verse 2) No songbird sings within this space, No breath of spring can touch this place. For life has fled and turned away, While you linger here in slow decay. Blood-red blossoms framed in black, Where desperate shadows trace your track. [e guitar solo] (Chorus) Oh, wild rose deep in my garden's shade, How long will you wait as the shadows fade? Your crimson petals softly weep and fall, As silence turns the garden to a tomb for all. A dark dream born in sorrow and pain, Lost forever in the freezing rain. (Bridge) I feel the sharp bite of your thorny crown, Drawing tears as the dark settles down. We were born of the very same sorrow and blight, Where hope never blooms in the oncoming night. (Chorus) Oh, wild rose deep in my garden's shade, How long will you wait as the shadows fade? Your crimson petals softly weep and fall, As silence turns the garden to a tomb for all. A dark dream born in sorrow and pain, Lost forever in the freezing rain. (Outro) Night closes in, the faint light dies, The wild rose fades before my eyes... Only sharp thorns remain, frozen and bare, In the dark that holds me forever there.
