Lyrics

Bleeding Roses

Dark horse is swimming
In deep blue water
The river carries him away from dawn

Big tree is dying
In woods of sorrow
Broken leaves are dancing in the wind
Bleeding roses scattered on the ground

White eagle flying
Up in the clouds
Watching blinded people from above

Young flowers fading
Crying for rain
Sky is spitting poison in the fields
Bleeding roses scattered on the ground

Red snake is coming
Death in his veins
The serpent’s lies are scattered all around

Wild fox is captured
Caught between thorns
Trying to escape the hunter’s gun
Bleeding roses scattered on the ground
Valleys touched by emptiness and grief
Bleeding roses scattered on the ground
