Rose
Holy Esque Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A quake in the sand, word's that break lovers hands
Primal screams to the one so I'd hope and I'd pray
I cry a hopeless decay, dreamed our world falling away
My key to inner soul so I want you to stay

My spirit desires and yours attains
The hour of separation and we'll feel all the pain
Eternity's your beauty, it's never the same

Here with my Rose, I'll tell you again

I doubt in my faith, now yours is lost in dark face
All broken lies so, I'd hope and I'd pray
Something so sweet, it's bittered and frayed
If you love something truly now give it away

A cry from the soul, chants in the wind
I spoke to God and he cried for his sins
Rose is my home, the home of the light
The light that exists for you, me and the night

Home, God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose
And God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose
And God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose
And God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose
I'll tell you again, said I'll tell you again

My heart, you cradled it far, I screamed my love and I wished you'd stay
The dark, it binds us here, I screamed and forever held onto the fear
The light, it shined so bright, something so sweet into the night
My soul, the innocent tole, created in love and I know that God knows
I'll always want more

Home, God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose
And God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose
And God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Roso
And God knows I'm cold, lying here with my Rose

Lying here with my Rose
Lying here with my Rose
