Winter Takes The Roses
Gothic Folk, Neoclassical Darkwave, Post-Rock, A sorrow-soaked piece that starts with Gothic Folk intimacy, evolves through Neoclassical Darkwave textures, and rises to a devastating Post-Rock climax. The contrast between fragile soprano and deep baritone weaves a haunting duet of winter, loss and the withering of love’s once-vibrant garden

Lyrics
*I thought I had cropped the last part, but I ended up sharing this one instead of the cropped version — and I realized it way too late. I'm really sorry about that*
Verse 1
I planted them with care that day
Your roses in the frost
The petals turned a deeper red
Before they all were lost
I should have known the season's change
Would take them in the end
But still I fought against the cold
Pretending to pretend
Pre-Chorus
Your thorns left scars upon my hands
But I kept holding on
The frost crept closer day by day
Till warmth was nearly gone
Chorus
Winter takes the roses
I watch them fade away
Your garden's dying slowly
As ice begins to fall
Ahhhh
Verse 2
I tried to shield them from the storm
With nothing but my skin
The bleeding didn't bother me
Till poison settled in
Each petal that I gathered up
Just crumbled into dust
The beauty that deceived me so
Was nothing more than rust
Pre-Chorus
The garden that you planted here
Has turned to frozen ground
I cannot feel my fingertips
But still I stick around
Chorus
Winter takes the roses
I watch them fade away
Your garden's dying slowly
As ice begins to fall
Ahhhh
