lyrics

And by my soul, this pale and angry rose
Will I forever, and my faction, wear,
Til it whither with me to my grave
Or flourish to the height of my despair.
And peace, no war, befall thy parting soul
For your wrongs shall always ever equal mine
And shall send between the red rose and the white
A thousand souls to death and deadly night.

(La la la...)

We once flew a common flag
Until you poisoned my resolve
Your arrogance now equals your pride.
Couldn't let a moment pass when I disagreed with you
And you've demanded that our egos collide.
Well, your stubbornness hangs on
Because you've never thought you're wrong
About the conversations you won't let die.
So drag on the chains you carry,
Those relics of the past,
I hope that they will be kinder than I.

(La la la...)

My valor, my pride,
The hope I've inspired,
The war of the words that's consumed you and I.
The treason, the shame,
That's attached to your name,
I'll shoulder the blame until the last word has lied.

The walls you've been devising
Made of haunted memories
Have made you difficult to know
But one thing that's for certain -
You're insufferable and cruel
And one day you won't have anything to hold.
So keep committing your transgressions,
I'm sure they'll comfort you
When you're hanging up your photographs alone
Of a life that you once squandered, in the name of principle,
An empty king upon an empty throne.

(La la la...)

My valor, my pride,
The hope I've inspired,
The war of the words that's consumed you and I.
The treason, the shame,
That's attached to your name,
I'll shoulder the blame until the last word has lied.
