such splendor, such beauty.
i must learn to forgive you,
for your spell has overtaken me.
your power has overthrown me.
and your tears have touched me.
i even started to envy,
i even started to faint,
i almost fell into the forbidden well.
for the site of you
the site of you all alone,
it overcomes me.
ohh but i must learn to forgive you my rose
for your black soul has forsaken me.
you have made me turn back on my path,
you have made me go on without a cause.
ohh, but will you forgive me?
for all the blood i have left behind?
for all the love i have crushed in site?
for all the minds i have played with?
for all the ones i've made cry?
if my punishment is that of you,
i must learn to live with it,
i must learn to cherish it,
for my tragedy is my soul
my being
my art
my joy.
in misery i live,
life to its fullest
i always be
for thy bleeding rose,
how you have captured my heart
ohh how you have captured my mind.
for i am your prisoner,
for i am your slave.
for your love will never be understood,
your mind never explored.
