Lyrics
Verse 1
In the silence of a broken night
I was reaching for a ray of light
Every shadow held me down too long
But my heart still beats in song
Verse 2
Fragile petals on a thorned design
Beauty blooming in a cage of time
Even sorrow has a crown to wear
I still rise through the air
Chorus
I am the dark rose, growing through the stone
I am the voice that still carries home
Every tear falls, but it makes me strong
I am the dark rose, singing all along
Bridge
I can’t fade, I was made to burn
Every loss is a lesson learned
Even pain is a gift I feel
Every scar is the proof I heal
Chorus – Climactic
I am the dark rose, growing through the stone
I am the voice that still carries home
Every tear falls, but it makes me strong
I am the dark rose, singing all along
Outro
In the silence, still I bloom
I am the dark rose in the gloom
