Blood Roses

Intro

(Ohhh) Blood roses...

(Ohhh) In the rain...

Verse

We danced under summer skies, your hand in mine so tight

Laughter like a river, flowing through the night

You picked me wild roses, thorns that didn't sting

Promised me forever, with that golden ring

Pre-chorus

But the horns blew distant, drums beat like a storm

Letters from the front lines, keeping my heart warm

I waited by the window, candle burning low

Praying for your shadow, through the frost and snow

Chorus

Blood roses, blood roses

Petals torn and red, like the tears I shed

Blood roses, blood roses

Love we swore would last, dying in the blast

(Ohhh) Blood roses falling

(Ohhh) For you, calling

Blood roses, blood roses

Crimson in my hands, where our story ends

Verse

Mud and smoke and fire, rifles cracking sharp

Your voice in my dreams now, pulling at my heart

A letter stained with hurry, "Hold on, my sweet girl"

But the reaper came riding, through that cruel world

Pre-chorus

Fields of broken bodies, rivers running red

I press those wilted flowers to my empty bed

Thorns that cut me deeper, every breath I take

Whispering your name now, for heaven's sake

Chorus

Blood roses, blood roses

Petals torn and red, like the tears I shed

Blood roses, blood roses

Love we swore would last, dying in the blast

(Ohhh) Blood roses falling

(Ohhh) For you, calling

Blood roses, blood roses

Crimson in my hands, where our story ends

Bridge

If I could turn the seasons, pull you from the ground

Wash the war from your eyes, hear your heartbeat sound

But these thorns remind me, of the love we knew

Fading like the morning, under skies so blue

Chorus

Blood roses, blood roses

Petals torn and red, like the tears I shed

Blood roses, blood roses

Love we swore would last, dying in the blast

(Ohhh) Blood roses falling

(Ohhh) For you, calling

Blood roses, blood roses

Crimson in my hands... (ohhh)

Outro

Blood roses...

(Ohhh) Falling...

Blood roses...

(Gone...)
