Black Roses
Pyrael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I feel is emptiness.
A hollow shell of what once,
Was inside of me.
Inside of me.
Loneliness,
Torturous hours of loneliness.
Without my love.
Without my love.
Painful thorn-tears,
Running down, blade to blade.
Searing sacrifice of my heart.
Just black roses,
Just black roses.
Dreams may come,
Of you and I and us again,
Some way somehow, I’ll bring it back,
To love again,
To love again.
Looking towards the heavens,
For the resurrection,
And the sight of you,
Maiden of my soul.
Just one more time,
One more time,
One more time,
But you’re gone.
All I see in side is the memory of you,
Can’t take back the pain since you went away.
Since you’ve gone all I see are black roses,
All black roses, Just black roses.
