The Rose Also Has Thorns
There are red threads sewn across this sky
We've wronged our rights again and just in time to lie
There’s a kingdom built on skulls and now I'm asking why
We're all too late to live but we're still too early to die
As the world turns it seems
People must be reminded of dreams
And in honesty, we've been warned
The rose also has thorns
Chances aren't good enough for today
Words handing in the air aren't good enough to say
Once upon a time things didn't have to be this way
With a time suspended memory the angels stay
On the day after tomorrow
A million hearts fill with sorrow
And in honesty, we've been warned
The rose also has thorns
There’s another kind of death that others call love
It seems that every one of us deserves that little shove
From behind the clouds the sun shines down from above
Let this new peace be carried by the little dove
Time goes too fast to stay still
Every gentle beast is able to kill
And in honesty, we've been warned
The rose also has thorns
There’s a bit to be said about the devil you know
Stained-glass can be shattered with one simple blow
There are too many places to choose where to go
Even footprints seem ugly when breaking new snow
The simplest things in life are factors
Among the kind there are dark actors
And in honesty, we've been warned
The rose also has thorns
