We’ve played our roles in our passion plays
They’ve imposed on us right from the cradle
No matter what you dream, beware of what you say
Until the cogwheel’s out of control to burst out of place
No time to breath, don’t have no time to waste
Bring on the night, seize every drop of life away
Slice a tasty hour off from
(Or in a blink it will be gone)
A stranding future, bring it on
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day’s been torn apart
We’ll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Feasting on a blind desire
Let the scent of poisonous flowers tempt me away
A sweet temptation and a pure red rose
While the hour don’t wait for a blink to cram the past
I’ll get a move on
No hesitation makes no one a better man
I can’t wait to finally know now
What is gonna show now in
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day’s been torn apart
We’ll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of a poisonous rose tempt me away
Boy, reach out for what is due
Or you’ll lap up what’s left for you
Throw ourselves into the waves
And as the grinding wheel of time
Is grinding out the chimes
To echo in the night
We’re off into the moonshine
Mystery of a blood red rose
Burning like a raging fire
When the day’s been torn apart
We’ll leave it behind
Mystery of a blood red rose
Future glowing on a pyre
Let the scent of a poisonous rose tempt me away
(And I will waste no time tonight)
And I don’t waste no time at all tonight
