Dark rose for a mourning

Will this suffering ever end ?

Or will it eat into my soul deeper ?

I am alone in this garden of pain

Only the black ones remain

Dark roses for a mourning

Forever I shall mourn your death

Never will rest take my hand

I belonged to you my dear lady

And I belong to this land of death

A black rose in my hand

Rain pouring from darkest skies

Into my soul, cleaning away

The man I have become

To protect you against any harm

This rose is for you

I failed and you fell

Oh, beautiful angel

From the clear skies you were

To the dark mud of earth

A black rose for a mourning

Your untouched beauty

Was a crystalline white rose

My painful sorrow

Is a shadowy black rose

Black rose on a white marble grave

For five years now you lie

My sleeping beauty shall never rise

And ever since I remember

Your porcelain skin stained with blood

A black rose by your side

The black rose, my guilt

I am the one who killed you

You held a snowy rose

And your blood made it turn

To the deepest black I have ever seen

Ever since this rose lay on your grave

Forever beautiful and young

Killed in all its glory

Just like you my fairlady

A dark rose from a darkest soul

To mourn the beauty of an angel
