Rose Petals and Ashes
[Verse] She sat there with a cigarette smile Watching shadows creep a thousand miles Beneath the moon's cold and hollow glow Love's betrayal led her to this show [Verse 2] Lips of fire spoke words of deceit In the dark he lay Circles complete Bittersweet ashes scattered around In a grave yet with nary a sound [Chorus] The roses wilt while her heart turns cold In shadows deep stories left untold Love turns to dust every vow untrue Echoes remain of a love misconstrued [Verse 3] Slow decay fills the room with its scent Broken heart now resolves to lament Life drained out by unkindly schemes Left her here with the shattered dreams [Bridge] In the silence she finds her release In the darkness she gathers her peace Once was love now forever decayed Truth revealed by the price he paid [Chorus] The roses wilt while her heart turns cold In shadows deep stories left untold Love turns to dust every vow untrue Echoes remain of a love misconstrued
