Black Roses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The flower on my mind
Slowly fades away
The strength of the dark
Makes the black rose bleed
A journey has begun
Where earth is lost and cold
When fear keeps pushing me on
And breaks through my thoughts
Preventing my reason
Betraying my will
I'm breathing
The thorn in my mind
Slowly fades away
The strength of the light
Makes the black rose heal
A journey has begun
Where earth glows as gold
When fear keeps pushing me on
And breaks through my thoughts
Preventing my reason
Betraying my will
I'm breathing
