Lyrics

Petals

We once lived upon the bush of purity,
Weathering the storms it was always you and me.
Though the thorns beneath were waiting patiently,
For the winter winds to take your love from me.
Now the seasons changed and I began to fall,
And I know you tried but I didn't hear your call.
The thorns kept whispering that winter would come soon,
So I began to wilt away beneath the Devil's moon.

And I wish there was some way to get you back,
To hold you just once more before I fade to black.
And even if I wilt away and go above,
I'll leave behind my Petals of love.

Now I lay upon the ground beneath your feet,
Waiting for the winds to bring you back to me.
The seasons change and wilting ways made you fall,
And though I screamed with all my might you didn't hear my call.

You see you fell upon a thorn close behind,
And it plunged it's sharpened point into your mind.
I screamed and cried with pain to bid it let you go,
But it was you, not thorns or wind that answered my cries "No".

And I wish there was some way to get you back,
To hold you just once more before I fade to black.
And even if I wilt away and go above,
I'll leave behind my Petals of love.

Now I realize there were no thorns at all,
They were things we both made up that caused our love to fall.
I'll always think though as the winter starts to blow,
The once true love I had in life, just me and The White Rose.

And I wish there was some way to get you back,
To hold you just once more before I fade to black.
And even if I wilt away and go above,
I'll leave behind my Petals of love.
