Poets of the Fall — Roses (Carnival of Rust 2006)

Текст песни: Roses (Carnival of Rust 2006)

[Verse 1]
I've walked the distanceI paid my dues
And tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real
Held no appeal
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal

And so I came to gaze upon the stars
When they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars
And the mask I had outworn

[Pre-Chorus]
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

[Chorus]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again

[Verse 1]
I've heard the rumors, started fires
I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need
Behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat
But healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the seed
And so I came across the medicine man
And he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand
And my own voice full of scorn

[Pre-Chorus]
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

[Chorus]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again

[Bridge]
Without you I'm nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing is impossible
It all seems to fit the frame

[Pre-Chorus]
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone

[Chorus]
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again

Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try...
