A gilded rose has much allure

Although it bears brutal heartache

in thorns

-

One day, he might just look at me

I wait until that day dawns

Dressed in silks and silver heartstrings

True love waits for no machine

-

Countess of blood

Metal adorns

Consumed in pride and treach'ry

This flood of oil

Pursuit of youth

How can these soothe her longing?

-

Look here, I've changed now

Love for you I vow

I dream that this song may reach you

Why do you turn away?

Why won't he accept my heart?

In the end things only fall apart

Flowers will perish without

Beauty
