Black Rose
Mandator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some wolves were howling and it was full moon
Suddenly a total silence
I knew it had to happen soon
I was lonely out there
Waiting for my messenger
He was about to bring me the
news
That would change my life forever
Mandator's song "Black Rose" tells the story of a protagonist waiting alone in the dark, surrounded by the eerie sounds of howling wolves and a full moon.

Mandator/Mysto Dysto is great! I cannot understand why they did not continue the awesomeness. Their three albums consist of the most amaizing metal songs I've ever heard. My Favourite is the Power of the Law and this Black Rose, especially the slower part from 4:00 to the end.
Napalm Martini
Anything by Mandator is gold.

Found this song by accident while looking for Thin Lizzy's Black Rose... gotta say, best fucking mistake I've ever made! I can't believe how amazing the soloing from 2:04-3:15 is.
