The Rose
The Proms Lyrics

As your future is broken down,
As your dreams and aspirations are shattered,

Look back as your past is crumbling
Reflect on the disintegration of your past

As hope denied again, looking into her eyes of hell
As your optimism is crushed, confronted by a tormenting presence

You will break
You will emotionally and mentally collapse

Gears will break, buried away
Mechanisms within you will malfunction, suppressed and hidden

Beat me to death now
Inflict upon me intense suffering and torment

Beat me, beat me to death
Continue to subject me to relentless agony and destruction

As I cry to your ashes as you cry to me
As I mourn for the remnants of what once was, as you mourn for my pain

So don't pretend to be my friend
Do not deceive me with false friendship

You cannot rectify your mistakes
You are incapable of correcting the wrongs you have committed

When every hope carries closure
When each expectation brings only finality and conclusion

You have become the denied
You have transformed into the epitome of denial

Loneliness is a lifetime, as years
The feeling of isolation extends throughout one's existence, as time passes by

Tormented, you're forced to die
You suffer incessantly, compelled towards a symbolic death

Soaking in a pool of your own blood
Immersed in the consequences of your actions, drowning in your own guilt and remorse

Crushed bones engulfed in fire
Your broken spirit consumed by intense anguish

Forced to fall down
Compelled to succumb to defeat

Your blood still stains
The remnants of your sins and transgressions still mark your existence

(Captive) As this time
(Trapped) In this moment

(Forever) And civilised structures
(Endlessly) And the foundations of society

(Captive) Will fall away
(Trapped) Will crumble and fade

(Forever)
(Endlessly)

You are still blood stained
You are still marked by the consequences of your actions
