Dirt And Roses

INTRO | n.c. | (full band) | | | n.c. | verse 1 This city grieves like widows clasping folded flags against their hearts Raindrops spill like dirt and roses on black coffins in the dark Not yet corpses, still we rot, oblivious to our decay Drinking poison drop by drop, destined to die Unless we save our lives from the coming tide That seeks to drown us in its waves But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold Then we'll rue each passing day verse 2 And I swear this place once was alive The streets, all pulsed like living veins Heart worth beating, coarse with blood The buildings breathe each time they sway The time of death, punctuated by the bells The sky turned red, then came the rain n.c. Come on, let's save our lives from the coming tide That seeks to drown us in its waves But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold Then we'll rue each passing day INTERLUDE 1 | | | | BREAKDOWN They drown, they'll crush you from the top I'd rather die, I would rather chase them down. These worlds are crashing forward, they try to set alight Built our true fates while they drown BRIDGE Like fallen soldiers on these fields, we spared our lives Bodies hurled upon the wheels, I swear we tried I came upon this godforsaken sight, and felt it all pass by INTERLUDE 2 ( | | | FINAL Chorus 1 n.c. Come on, let's save our lives from the coming tide That seeks to drown us in its waves But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold Then we'll rue each passing day FINAL Chorus 2 So save our... Our lives, it's coming clear Yeah, it's becoming clear to me We'll never sell our soul for the chance of gold And we'll live each passing day
