Black Roses

The Rasmus Black Roses Lyrics
1.Livin In A World Without You

Its hard to believe that it came to this
You paralysed my body with a poison kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you
You told me my darling
Without me you're nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies
Suddenly someone will stare in the window
Looking outside at the sky that had never been blue
Oh there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Oh there is hope to guide me
I will survive
Living in a world without you
Its hard to believe that it came to this
You paralysed my body with a poison kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you
You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me
Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I'm finally free
Oh there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Oh there is hope to guide me
I will survive
Living in a world without you
Its hard to believe that it came to this
You paralysed my body with a poison kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you
Its hard to believe that it came to this
You paralysed my body with a poison kiss
For 40 days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
Living in a world without you
Oh there's a world without you
I see the light
Living in a world without you
Oh there is hope beside me
I will survive
Living in a world without you
Living in a world without you
Living in a world without you
Living in a world without you
Living in a world without you


2.Ten Black Roses

Life is like a boat in a bottle
Try to sail; you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares
Through the glass you see the same faces
Hear their voices fade like a drone
When your life's a boat in a bottle
You're surrounded drifting alone
Don't leave me now
Stay another day with me
When you're sad and no-one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
I'll send you black roses

Far away we wait for each other
I'm still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair
Don't lose your faith
Share another night with me
When you're sad and no-one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
I'll send you black roses
Ten black roses
Ten black roses

Life is like a boat in a bottle
Try to sail; you can't with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares
When you're sad and no-one knows it
I'll send you black roses
When your heart's dark and frozen
I'll send you black roses
Ten black roses
Ten black roses


3.Ghost Of Love

I am near you
You don't see me
Can you feel me?
I'm closer than close
Does it burn?
Does it hurt?
Did you know what you've lost?
Are you scared of the dark?

Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains of the ghost of love

You're falling
Down and dirty
You'll be crawling
Lower than low
Can you sleep?
Can you breathe?
When you know what you've done?
Tell me where will you run?

Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains of the ghost of love

You have fallen
Cruel and flawless
And all that you left of me
Is the ghost of love

I'm fading
I'm barely breathing
Can't hold on
I'm dying
I must be dreaming
Won't be long

Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains of the ghost of love


4.Justify

So close, so far, Im lost in time,
ready to follow a sign, if there was only a sign.
The last goodbye was in my mind,
why did I leave you before?
I guess it was too high to climb.

Give me a reason, why would you want me to live and die? Live
and lie.
You were the answer, all that I needed to justify, justify my
life.

Someone as beautiful as you,
could be much better, its true,
like it dont matter to you.
I tried so hard to be alone,
its nothing I couldnt do,
I guess I was under the cloud.

Give me a reason, why would you want me to live and die? Live
and lie.
You were the answer, all that I needed to justify, justify my
life.
Its over now, I should go and find myself before I go and lose
someone else.

So close, so far, Im lost in time,
ready to follow a sign, if there was only a sign.

Give me a reason, why would you want me to live and die? Live
and lie.
You were the answer, all that I needed to justify, justify my
love.
Its over now, and I should go and find myself before I go and
lose someone else


5.Your Forgiveness

It's time for forgiveness
It's time to repent
Time for a sentence
To live without revenge
We'll never be together
It's time to face the truth

You tell me we could make it last forever (forever)
Destiny couldn't seal our fates together (together)
There's a time for anger
'Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
Your forgiveness

You were my religion
I gave you my soul
But it was the light
You were my obsession
I gave you all control
I didn't know your heart was cold
And made of stone

You tell me we could make it last forever (forever)
Destiny couldn't seal our fates together (together)
There's a time for anger
'Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
To haunt your sleep
For you to dare
Your forgiveness

There's a time for anger
'Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
To haunt your sleep
For you to dare
Your forgiveness
Your forgiveness
Your forgiveness
Your forgiveness


6.Run To You

Tomorrow's taking me away from you like a jealous lover
Kiss me one last time before I go down this broken road I follow
You will leave me torn and sting me like a thorn from a dying
rose
The saddest scent of you will cling to me, I know
I will run to you
When my journey's over
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
'Til I reach the sun
Then I'll turn around
And run to you

If I stay with you and linger here another moment
I would fade into the scenery; you wouldn't even see me
I've got nothing left to offer you, it's not that I don't care
All I ask is that you think of me, I swear
I will run to you
When my journey's over
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
'Til I reach the sun
Then I'll turn around
And run to you

I hate to see you cry
When you look away
It makes me wanna die

Run to you
Oohh
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
'Til I reach the sun
Then I'll turn around
And run... to you


7.You Got It Wrong

When you found me on the street
Did you think you rescued me?
Bet you thought without you I would die
Like a snake you swallowed me
I took it 'til I couldn't breathe
Just to bring your fantasies to life

You count on the faithful to get your way
And to follow your lie

You got it wrong now
'Cause I don't give a fuck
I'm not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you're out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

Hold me with your mystery
Preaching peace and charity
But I see through your vanity and lies
You think you got the best of me
But I will re-write history
I'll take back my life to your surprise

If I could make it as painful as you did for me
I'd be just wasting my time

You got it wrong now
'Cause I don't give a fuck
I'm not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you're out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

There's a little part of me
That would like to see you cry
Even if it's just one tear
I know it would never dry

You got it wrong now
'Cause I don't give a fuck
I'm not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess you're out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer


8.Lost And Lonely

It feels like the end of time
Like something bad is coming
You've been living in a world of lies
Your see-through walls are falling
It's getting hard to accept that I'm losing you
I watch you as you sleep
Your nightmares break the silence
I can tell that you're in too deep
Got your mind down to a science
And everytime that I touch you, I'm losing you
You're the eve of my destruction
In the garden of fears
Why am I devastated?
You threw it all away
Now who's the one who's lost and lonely?
I gotta break away from you
Who will pay for all the things you've done
I'm not the only one

You're out of control inside
I don't need X-ray vision
To see all the desperate signs
You made your heart a prison
I took it all out of fear of losing you
In the valley of deception
There is a river of tears
Why am I devastated?
You threw it all away
Now who's the one who's lost and lonely?
I gotta break away from you
Who will pay for all the things you've done
I'm not the only one

So many nights
So many fights
So many days
Too easy to erase
Why am I devastated?
You threw it all away
Now who's the one who's lost and lonely?
I gotta break away from you
Who will pay for all the things you've done
I'm not the only one


9.The Fight

Everything is still and calm
In the dead of night
Right before the fight
Clouds are gathering for the storm
Destiny decides
Who will live or die

I've been waiting for this moment
It's time for the battle
Even if I never make it
Take me home
I might never get my story
Carved in stone
But I will rise again
The fight is to the end

Pounding of the drums of war
Turns your tears to mud
Rivers turn to blood
If you live to see another day
Take another breath
Make it life or death

I've been waiting for this moment
It's time for the battle
Even if I never make it
Take me home
I might never get my story
Carved in stone
But I will rise again
The fight is to the end

Give me strength to carry on
'Til my life is done

Everybody wants the glory
But you better remember
The fight is to the end
The fight is to... the end


10.Dangerous Kind

You got me in this situation
You got me backed against the wall
Caught in a web of your creation
I bet you set me up to fall

Once I thought about it
I figured out your wicked ways
There's no doubt about it
You'd sell your soul to seal the case

You're the dangerous kind
Now look at what you've done to me
What you've done to me baby
You've gotta criminal mind
Your motive is to plant a seed
Now I'd kill for you baby

You gotta shady reputation
From bed to bed to man to man
Once you deliver your temptation
No one can stop your master plan

Don't try to lie about it
I don't believe a thing you say
The more you try to hide it
The more the lies show on your face

You're the dangerous kind
Now look at what you've done to me
What you've done to me baby
You've gotta criminal mind
Your motive is to plant a seed
Now I'd kill for you baby

You're the dangerous kind

I've been sleeping with the enemy
Now I'm doing the time
Paying up for the crime
Guess you took everything
you could from me

You're the dangerous kind
Now look at what you've done to me
What you've done to me baby
You've gotta criminal mind
Your motive is to plant a seed
Now I'd kill for you baby

You're the dangerous kind


11.Live Forever

Was it an angel
That knocked on my door?
Or was it the wind?
Was I still sleeping?
Lost in a dream
Or was it you?
We swam in the fountains
Beneath the northern stars
We cried from the laughter
And died in each other's arms
Remember to live forever
Remember to live for love

I got back my letters
Ages ago
Your address unknown
I passed a stranger
Who had your eyes
Or was it you?
We ran through the graveyard
To catch the midnight sun
We danced drunk and naked
Until the summer was gone
Remember to live forever
Remember to live for love
Remember to live for love
To live for love
