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
