Mystery of a Blood Red Rose - Avantasia

We’ve played our roles in our passion plays

They’ve imposed on us right from the cradle

No matter what you dream beware of what you say

Until the cogwheel’s out of control to burst out of place

No time to breathe don’t have no time to waste

Bring on the night seize every drop of life away

Slice a tasty hour off from…

A stranding future bring it on

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Burning like a raging fire

When the day is been torn apart we’ll leave it behind

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Feasting on a blind desire

Let the scent of poisonous flowers tempt me away

A sweet temptation and a pure red rose

While the hour don’t wait for a blink to cram the past

I’ll get a move on

No hesitation makes no one a better man

I can’t wait to finally know now what is gonna show now in

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Burning like a raging fire

When the day is been torn apart we’ll leave it behind

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Future glowing on a pyre

Let the scent of a poisonous rose tempt me away

I’ll reach out for what is due

Or you’ll lap up what’s left for you

Throw ourselves into the waves

And as the grinding wheel of time

Is grinding out the chimes

To echo in the night

We’re off into the moonshine

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Burning like a raging fire

When the day is been torn apart we’ll leave it behind

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Future growing on a pyre

Let the scent of a poisonous rose tempt me away

And I will waste no time tonight

And I don’t waste no time at all… Tonight
