The Rose Lyrics - Singles - The Phoenix Burns

Ringing is the silence, sounding so clear 

And beyond the darkness is the path to our fears 

So with every breath we end up falling short 

And in the endless circle of fire we are caught 

A distant memory of the way things were before 

Is this a poison that can be cured? 

Dark thoughts of what will come to be 

You are the rose that has planted its thorn within me 

The locked door to which there is no key 

Where lives all things that want to be free 

And only through the awakening of the flame 

Can there be a release from what keeps us sane 

Between the calm ocean flood and the gentle burning flame 

Lays the cold earth that never washes away 

Desperate desire for what can never be 

You are the rose that has planted its thorn within me 

The sun that rises on the distant dusk of day 

A blood red dawn that is burning the walls away 

And on the carousel we relinquish our pride 

Circling the hardships that forever are strived 

A winding path that can never be defied 

And the burning light that can no longer be denied 

Makes us realise there is nowhere left to be 

Because you are the rose that has planted its thorn within me
