We've played our roles in our passion plays

They've imposed on us right from the cradle

Now 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 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 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 is been torn apart will leave it behind

Mystery of a Blood Red Rose

Future glowing on a pyre

Let the scent of poisonous rose tempt me away



And I will waste no time tonight



And I don't waste no time at all... Tonight
