when roses die

-------------------
(english songtext, unreleased)

I was caught in a dream,
heard a pervading scream,
it rankled deep in my soul,
like a nail in it's hole,
startet feeling to spin.

Thought acute how to stop,
a whish to outright wake up,
but there wasn't a chance,
the scene capured my glance,
a dead rose touched my skin.


so i just wondered why,
have the roses to die,
could it be that the humans are lyin',
and all their hearts are denyin',
that is when roses die,
a dark angel flies high,
millions of souls are cryin'
when the roses are dyin'.


Next night i couldn't sleep,
even tried counting sheep,
still present was my dream,
i inhaled it like steam,
but sometime i dozed in.

Had now to see their agony,
it was so haunting to see,
loveliest roses fade away,
i could no longer stay,
watching this nameless sin.


so i just wondered why,
have the roses to die,
could it be that the humans are lyin',
and all their hearts are denyin',
that is when roses die,
a dark angel flies high,
millions of souls are cryin'
when the roses are dyin'.


This time i couldn't go,
because i had to know,
the reason for this disease,
would they ever find peace?
Worried long 'bout this quest.

The solution that i found,
took my soul to the ground,
the wildcatting damned night,
my speculations where right,
cognition gave me the rest.


no more wondering why,
have the roses to die,
it is because the humans are lyin',
and all their hearts are denyin',
that is why roses die,
the dark angels fly high,
millions of souls are cryin'
when the roses are dyin'.

no more wondering why,
have the roses to die,
it is because the humans are lyin',
and all their hearts are denyin',
that is why roses die,
the dark angels fly high,
millions of souls are cryin'
when the roses are dyin'.
