Lyrics Roses - Skeleton Key

Roses

Hell’s one hundred acres are on fire
And the sky is black and bruised
Clear the decks
Clear the decks
Let the engines through
Gentlemen take ladies by the hand
To the threshold of a dream
Toe the line
Toe the line
To eternity
Cause roses
Roses
Perform
Each opens and closes
Thrown in life’s
Valentines still trace the lines
And arcs
Of bouquets that never got caught
Wish I may
Wish I might
This one’s over soon
Cause roses
Roses
Perform
Each opens and closes
Thrown in life’s
Cause roses
Roses
Perform
Each opens and closes
Thrown in life’s
Ashes
Ashes
And they all fall down
