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 breath, don’t have no time to waste Bring on the night, seize every drop of life away
Slice a tasty hour off from (Or in a blink it will be gone) A stranding future, bring it on
Mystery of a blood red rose Burning like a raging fire When the day’s 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’s 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
Boy, 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’s 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 (And I will waste no time tonight) And I don’t waste no time at all tonight
