The Rose
I remember that day when
The clocks stopped ticking and
The airwaves were thick and course
With words I'd never heard before
I try to make it all make sense
Empty equations in my head
So tell me, I don't understand
Maybe I'll never understand
I saw the light begin to fade
Like the smile on your face
I held the rose and felt the thorn
I hurt myself to keep you strong
What you gave and took away
Gifts of conflict and of pain
You still have your liberties
But it's the same air that I breathe
Look over my shoulder and
Hope for order in this land
Say a prayer for the lost souls
Say a prayer for all of us
I felt the light begin to fade
Like the smile on your face
I watched it on the big screen
I saw what no one else could see
I took my heart out of its cage
I touched the fire to feel the flames
I held the rose and felt the thorn
I hurt myself to keep you strong
I see my face in the water
And I see you there
Your voice as clear as crystal
And it will never fade
It will never fade
It will never fade
The clocks stopped ticking and
The airwaves were thick and course
With words I'd never heard before
I try to make it all make sense
Empty equations in my head
So tell me, I don't understand
Maybe I'll never understand
I saw the light begin to fade
Like the smile on your face
I held the rose and felt the thorn
I hurt myself to keep you strong
What you gave and took away
Gifts of conflict and of pain
You still have your liberties
But it's the same air that I breathe
Look over my shoulder and
Hope for order in this land
Say a prayer for the lost souls
Say a prayer for all of us
I felt the light begin to fade
Like the smile on your face
I watched it on the big screen
I saw what no one else could see
I took my heart out of its cage
I touched the fire to feel the flames
I held the rose and felt the thorn
I hurt myself to keep you strong
I see my face in the water
And I see you there
Your voice as clear as crystal
And it will never fade
It will never fade
It will never fade
