Blood & Roses

[Verse 1] In velvet dusk, the thorns arise A crimson bloom beneath the skies I wear the petals on my skin Each scar a hymn, each wound a sin The choir moans in catacombs Where lovers sleep in shattered poems I walk the aisle of shattered vows With bloodied feet and thorn-crowned brows [Pre-Chorus] They called me fragile, called me flame But passion never dies in shame I sing for ghosts who never wept For roses buried where they slept [Chorus] My voice was forged in fire and ash A requiem beneath the lash I sing for those the night devoured For hearts that bloomed, then bled, then soured No crown of gold, no gentle prose Just thorns that bloom where no one goes A song of love that death composes A tale of blood entwined with roses [Verse 2] The moonlight drips like waxen tears On graves that echo ancient fears I kissed the night, I kissed the pain And danced beneath the acid rain My name is carved in shattered glass A vow to never let love pass I am the thorn, I am the bloom The siren in the shadowed tomb [Pre-Chorus] They crowned me queen of silent screams But I still sing in fevered dreams A rose that bleeds, a voice that burns A soul that never quite returns [Chorus] My voice was forged in fire and ash A requiem beneath the lash I sing for those the night devoured For hearts that bloomed, then bled, then soured No crown of gold, no gentle prose Just thorns that bloom where no one goes A song of love that death composes A tale of blood entwined with roses [Bridge] Let the requiem rise from ash Let the petals fall like glass I’ll wear the crown of broken light And sing the dark into the night [Outro] So if you hear me in the wind Know passion never learned to bend Blood & Roses — I sang, I bled And left my soul in notes unsaid
