Inside the city of steel and sorrow
Where the Sun forgot to rise
Amidst the ruins and the phantoms
I found a rose that defied the lies

Where the Sun forgot to rise
The roots run deep into the ground
Drenched in life's relentless storms
Bearing thorns it won't conform
Transcending through neon light

If I give you this rose
Trading my life for my words
I wither away
To forge a new day
If you take this rose
Through the ashes and the rain
My sacrifice remains
If you take this rose

It's a sad life
A beautiful life

Silent streets a world gone cold
Electric tears it won't conform
Thorns they whisper
I'm not broken

If I give you this rose
Trading my life for my words
When I wither away
To forge a new day
If you take this rose
Through the ashes and the rain
My sacrifice remains
If you take this rose

In the darkness will you take my rose
Will your promises like petals fall
In the darkness will you this take my rose

If I give you this rose
If I give you this rose
I wither wither away
To forge a new day
If you take this rose
Through the ashes and the rain
My sacrifice remains
If you take this rose

Will you fight for me
Will you fight for me
To forge a new day
If you take this rose
If you take this rose
My sacrifice remains
Will you take my rose
