Lyrics

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
