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 coghweel'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 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 echoe 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
