Covered By Roses lyrics

I feel my heart explode to particles

Love is always here and I told you so

Restless in dreams, love carved in stone

This rhapsody of life in a way,

I guess we all know it

Hand in hand,

We stay while we watch you flow

Heaven can you help us,

Where we can't go

Covered by roses

When this dance is over

We all know all beauty will die

The choirs have awoken

Left no words unspoken

Remember you as long as I can

Hold you in my arms all night

And still, and spill the wine until the end

We all have a place and time

Need to live every moment

We build our castles high

Turned our dreams to gold

We took the blows of pride

Went through it all

The dawn is closing in

New tales are told

This rhapsody of life, in a way

I guess we all know it

Covered by roses

When this dance is over

We all know all beauty will die

The choirs have awoken

Left no words unspoken

Remember you as long as I can

Hold you in my arms all night

And still, and spill the wine until the end

We all have a place and time

Need to live every moment

For all we are is falling stars in the night

In the night,

Raging down from the sky

The rise and fall, the rhapsody of our lives

It's all we are and know

We got to let go

[SPOKEN:]1

She dwells with Beauty, beauty that must die

And Joy, whose hand is ever at his lips

His soul shalt taste the sadness of her might,

And be among her cloudy trophies hung.

Covered by- [x2]

Covered by roses

When this dance is over

We all know all beauty will die

The choirs have awoken

Left no words unspoken

Remember you as long as I can

Hold you in my arms all night

And still, and spill the wine until the end

We all have a place and time

Need to live every moment
