[00:00.00]Dead Rose - The Classic Crime
[00:17.84]Dead rose you were once so vibrant
[00:22.82]As you stretched out towards the sun
[00:25.07]And spread your pedals wide
[00:26.93]To take it all inside
[00:30.05]Dead rose tried to keep you alive
[00:34.11]But you drank the water dry
[00:36.84]And now you're facing down
[00:39.32]Your pedals scattered on the ground
[00:41.58]But you grew so naturally at first
[00:45.77]And so this natural death occurs
[00:48.50]A stem in water never lasts as long
[00:52.16]As roots planted in dirt
[00:54.82]And although we have had our time
[00:57.44]It hurts to watch you fade and die
[01:00.61]What once was stunning and alive
[01:03.21]Becomes so cold and
[01:04.83]Dead rose I don't love you anymore
[01:23.29]Dead rose you're a symbol of the truth
[01:27.52]Of the love we had for you
[01:29.94]How all good things must end and with each death new life begins
[01:32.98]Dead rose how am I suppose to find
[01:39.22]Something equally divine
[01:41.99]No matter where I go I plant the seeds but nothing grows
[01:45.95]But you grew so naturally at first
[01:50.67]And so this natural death occurs
[01:53.67]A stem in water never lasts as long
[01:57.28]As roots planted in dirt
[01:59.60]And although we have had our time
[02:02.71]It hurts to watch you fade and die
[02:05.57]What once was stunning and alive
[02:08.56]Becomes so cold and dead inside
[02:12.46]How fleeting is love how fleeting is life
[02:17.35]When I came home and shut the door
[02:23.06]I saw your last pedal hit the floor
[02:27.11]And I was struck by something I'd never felt before
[02:40.98]Dead rose I don't love you any more
[02:53.59]We'll look back on the day
[02:55.89]When the dead rose from the grave
[02:59.03]No more sorry and shame
[03:01.71]The new body and name
[03:04.72]Nothing perfect will die
[03:07.71]No more tears in our eyes
[03:10.65]No more worries and trials
[03:13.62]We'll have faith like a child's
[03:16.69]When I come through that open door
[03:22.49]I'll finally see you as you really are
[03:28.51]And I'll be struck by something I'd never felt before
[03:39.06]Dead rose I will love you forever more
[03:47.79]Dead rose I will love you forever more
