Rose

For endless years and years

Now I roam the outer void

And the boring same old games

Are meaninglessly repeated

All my wealth and energy

Insufficient substitutes for a life

That I exchanged for a desire

That never will be satisfied

(lead - Mai)

I spin my net, in a sinister black

So monstrous, my degeneration

Where the careless gain sorrow

And all their greed brings pain

Invisible for the ungifted

And doomed by my darkness

I take their material legacy

And defile their fragile mortality

Solitude feeds my fatal lust

Vast deadly traps are hidden

Raped by the light of the rose

I teach them in devotion

All these harmless victims

Their fight without prospects

Finalizing my supremacy

And a welcome to my isolation

Then raise my pride

My insidious bride

Narcotising my emptiness

By a senseless eagerness

And the hungry teeth of time devour

What I used to be in ancient past

And decades flow into the void

To bring up this stiff monument
