歌詞

Nothing is more pathetic, nothing more profound

Than a knight who survived, when the castle’s on the ground

In the burnt-out ruins, tell me, what is there to find?

Only the ghosts of the dreams I left behind

The Black Rose was a fake, a hollow, fragile shell

Crushed and broken down in this living hell

The face is the same, the voice and the grace

But a hollow king cannot take his place

No, he’s not the one... he’s just a ghost in the sun

That Red Rose was truly beautiful and bright

A vision of courage in the middle of the night

That’s why I have to end it, that’s why it has to die

I’m the only one who knows the truth behind the lie

I can’t stay pure, I can’t stay clean

In this world of sorrow, I’m the monster in between

Let my hands be stained, let the memory be shamed!

The one I couldn’t save, the one who truly led

He’s the one who should be here, instead of being dead

And I’m the one who shouldn’t be standing on this floor

The knight who failed his oath, the knight who closed the door

That noble spirit, that dignity so rare

There’s no place for me, only cold, thin air

That Black Rose is beautiful, in its own dark way

But the colors are fading into a shade of grey

That’s why I have to end it, I’m the one who knows

The secret that is hidden in the petals of the rose

I can’t stay pure, I can’t stay clean

I’m the only one who can end this scene!

I swear to the Red Rose, the one I lost that day

The Black Rose I cannot protect, I’ll take its life away!

Everything I swore to guard, everything I held dear

I’ll break it all down, I’ll conquer the fear!

There’s no going back, the path is turning black

But I have to keep moving... into the shadow!

The Red Rose... the Black Rose

The peaceful memories we shared

(Whisper) Then why... aren’t you here?

...Who took you away?

Madness begins
