BLACK ROSE
lyrics: J. Morse © 1983
Look now, and see
A piece of a comedy
What could it be? Please tell me
Open your eyes
And see through her lies
Cut them down to size. . . be wise
Looking back, have you done anything to anyone
Time's passed. . . in all those years, you must have done
Something to hurt someone
But now. . . they've got you and you'll never break free
From the fate prepared for you, but at least
You won't go silently
Midnight is black
Like the petals -- they lack
Colour and feeling
But when you're kneeling will you care?
Open it now
A thorn, a flower borne
From hatred and scorn, sent this morning
Bow low your head
And pray for the end
Look around the bend -- you're dead
Looking back, have you done anything to anyone
Time's passed. . . in all those years, you must have done
Something to hurt someone
But now. . . they've got you and you'll never break free
From the fate prepared for you, but at least
You won't go silently
Midnight is black
Like the petals -- they lack
Colour and feeling
But when you're kneeling will you care?
A black rose
A sign of death
Prepare yourself and catch your breath
Now you must run
Even though it's a waste
You can taste it, you soon will meet your fate
Midnight is black
Like the petals -- they lack
Colour and feeling
But when you're kneeling will you care?
Midnight is black
Like the petals -- they lack
Colour and feeling
But when you're kneeling will you care?
