Roses Lyrics

Roses lyrics

Blind me with distraction

Build a frontier 'cross the void

All tomorrow been destroyed, in a breath



I moved out to the country

And I saw the scenery shake

As a summer parade meets its death

And God's assassins rode back into town

And paved their way upon the cold ground



Roses help me to pretend

Blushing brides and cosmonauts

Don't meet their bitter end



Give me grace, oh Mother

I have rumbled quite a feast

Traced the footsteps of a priest in the snow



But in my mind's picture

Of every face I've ever loved

Travel lightly suck their blood before they go



And God's assassins rode back into town

And paved their way upon the cold ground



Roses help me to pretend

Blushing brides and cosmonauts

Don't meet their bitter end



Roses, roses, cannot do this any more
