[INTRO — 148 BPM, EERIE PIANO, CLEAN GUITAR, WHISPERED VOCALS] A garden slept beneath the moon, Bathed in silver, kissed by dew. Then came the bloom with a mouth of thorns, A beautiful lie where the plague was born. [WHISPER, BUILDING INTO A SCREAM] LET THE ROOTS DRINK DEEP! [VERSE 1 — LOW SCREAMS, SYNCOPATED DROP F RIFFS] You crept beneath the fertile ground, A velvet curse without a sound. You drank the light from every stem, Then taught the pure to rot like them. You fed them lies in shades of red, And starved the life inside their heads. You wrapped your thorns around their throats, Then called the strangulation growth. You took the sun. You stole the rain. You made their suffering your gain. A thousand flowers, stripped of grace, All wearing poison in your place. [PRE-CHORUS — CLEAN VOCALS, BUILDING TENSION, RISING GUITARS] And all the colors start to fade, Beneath the shadows that you made. Their petals black, their roots diseased, They beg for air upon their knees. [HARSH SCREAM] YOU CALL THIS LIFE?! [CHORUS — SOARING CLEAN VOCALS, LAYERED SCREAMS, MASSIVE MELODIC GUITARS] ROSES OF POISON, FEEDING ON EDEN! KILLING THE LIGHT WHILE THE GARDEN IS BLEEDING! You turned the beautiful into decay, And stole every sunrise away! ROSES OF POISON, THORNS IN OUR VEINS! YOU WATERED THE EARTH WITH OUR SUFFERING AND PAIN! Now every flower wears your disease— A garden of death where nothing grows free! [VERSE 2 — BLAST BEATS, AGGRESSIVE SCREAMS, RAPID DOWNTUNED RIFFS] You taught the lilies how to hate, Then blamed the rot upon their fate. You bent the stems until they broke, And fed them ash instead of hope. You stole their roots, you stole their names, Then made them kneel before your reign. You drank their youth, you cursed their bloom, And watched them suffocate in gloom. A thousand mouths repeat your lies, A thousand flowers learn disguise. You made them fear the morning sun, Until they begged to be undone. [BREAKDOWN 1 — 74 BPM HALF-TIME, SUB DROPS, LOW GUTTURALS] YOU DON'T GROW! YOU INFECT! [PAUSE — LOW BASS RUMBLE] YOU DON'T LOVE! YOU NEGLECT! [CRUSHING GUITAR SLAM] YOU STARVED THE ROOTS— TO FEED YOUR FUCKING THRONE! YOU KILLED THE GARDEN— AND CALLED THE ROT YOUR HOME! [2-BEAT SILENCE] BLOOM IN HELL! [CHORUS 2 — FULL MELODIC VOCALS, SCREAMS LAYERED BENEATH] ROSES OF POISON, FEEDING ON EDEN! KILLING THE LIGHT WHILE THE GARDEN IS BLEEDING! You turned the beautiful into decay, And stole every sunrise away! ROSES OF POISON, THORNS IN OUR VEINS! YOU WATERED THE EARTH WITH OUR SUFFERING AND PAIN! Now every flower wears your disease— A garden of death where nothing grows free! [BRIDGE — ATMOSPHERIC CLEAN GUITAR, DISTANT CHOIR, EMOTIONAL CLEAN VOCALS] I watched the violets lose their blue, I watched the roses poison through. I held the stems that used to shine, And felt their dying roots entwine. Was there a moment we could save? Before the garden became your grave? Before the thorns consumed the seed, Before the bloom forgot to breathe? [VOICE BREAKS INTO A SCREAM — INSTRUMENTAL BUILD] WAS THIS THE GARDEN WE WERE BORN TO BE?! [FINAL BREAKDOWN — 74 BPM, APOCALYPTIC DEATHCORE, DISSONANT CHUGS, LAYERED GUTTURALS] THE SOIL IS BLACK! THE SKY IS DEAD! THE THORNS ARE GROWING— THROUGH OUR FUCKING HEADS! [FULL-BAND SLAM] NO MORE SUNLIGHT! NO MORE RAIN! NO MORE FLOWERS— TO FEED YOUR PAIN! [BRIEF SILENCE — WHISPERED VOCAL] You wanted a garden... [EVERYTHING SLAMS BACK IN — MAXIMUM VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL INTENSITY] THEN CHOKE ON THE ROOTS YOU'VE SOWN! LET EVE
