Lyrics Black Roses - Aviators

Black Roses

Children joyful dancing in the sun
With a blissful ignorance of what’s to come
When the guardsmen start to struggle
And the barriers give way
We’re broken and we wither in the fray
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are dust
Crumbling by the moment
We try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same
Running off afraid of what’s to come
When you’re facing down the barrel of the lawman’s gun
But the saints have learned the secret
And the rebels know the same
We’re killing just to bury our remains
We are husks
Alive but barely breathing
Sometimes we pull ourselves together
But our efforts fade away
We are dust
Crumbling by the moment
We try to push away the ending
And black roses fall the same
