My Dying Bride - The Blood, The Wine, The Roses 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 playing 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
'Cause 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

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
