Forgotten Beauty - Darkwood

Have you ever seen a rosebud

Bursting of strength and lust

Have you ever seen a man

With dreams turned to dust

In night and fog undistinguished

Life empty like a cup

Her forgotten beauty

Goes down in history’s mark

The long black knives yet sharpened

And ready for betrayal

Cover angst of life and hope

And all is doomed to fail

Black dreams black hopes black virtue

Now pale, abandoned lust

Suffocated perfection

Oh heaven with locked doors

Bow down in deep submission

And honor the silence of death

Then stand tall, eyes to the horizon

Blood for the blood that was shed

Black dreams black hopes black virtue

Now pale, abandoned lust

Suffocated perfection

Oh heaven with locked doors
