Divine Red Roses

Divine red roses, burgundy petals
They draw us in, it's gracefully brutal
Emerald leaves and those razor-sharp thorns
They cast a spell to have our hearts torn

I let a red rose near my skin too close
Little did I know, it hurt more than most
But I need to know, remember how it feels
The spell is real, for the wounds just don't heal

You wrap roses around your heart
Those who try to touch are always cut
Deep enough to leave scars so bad
The line is blurred between love and lust
You wrap roses around your heart
Those who try to touch are always cut
But you know only too well that
The scent of roses will always tempt us

Even the reddest rose falls to its demise
We all have to pay, for love has a price
To break the spell of their true disguise
We are fallen stars from the darkened sky

So one day your face and tattoos will fade
Even if I can't quite bear to erase
Just like the fate of all those red roses
All love in the end decomposes
