The Blood the Wine the Roses by My Dying Bride Lyrics

The blood, the wine, the roses

Everyone knows her, knows her name
Deadly Siren, that's her game
They want to be near her
Play her game
Get to know her
What's her name?
She strides among us with a burning fire
Her victims endless, piling higher
And I run along with them, the heaving mass
Fighting anyone to get past

I want her fire, her burning fire
Her dark caress, her red hot kiss
I want desire, her roaring fire
From milk white breast to raven tress
I want her nights, morning light
Her endless days, amazing grace

I'm on her trail every single day
Ahead, she glides, I stumble blindly in her wake
I witnessed lovers torn by her
Teary maidens killing her
You'll never be lovers when she's in town
Because in her eyes, we all drown
Broken-hearted, we leap to God
And die like lovers everyone forgot

I tremble when she passes by
Lord make her mine or let me die
She looked at me
Her eyes, her eyes!
They drew me in
Her sin
Her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies, her lies

I see my final night
Glory, what a sight!
The blood, the wine, the roses
And me all snowy white

Her hands on me, it's ecstasy
It's heavenly, it's God I see
I risk a kiss
One kiss, one kiss
I knew from then my life had died
Hold me now, my father
Now my days are done
I would do it all again
Because she was the one

Torment me, you fucking bastard!
I'll seek you once I rise
Look behind
I will slay your worthless blackened soul
