Lost in a rose garden filled with thorns
It's been me against the world since the day I was born

Words of war on the winds of the west
I try to find the beauty in a world of unrest
Pull the trigger at the cost of a life
or watch the world burn out of spite
When the end is nigh, will you turn and run
or stand and fight
Let's not pretend
We'll all beg for mercy in the bitter end

Hatred flows through our veins
we never seem to learn from our mistakes
We fight amongst each other
sink the knife in the back of our brothers
As the guns roar, the bombs fall
and it leads us to our rapture
As the flames roar, the ash falls
and the earth begins to fracture

Lost in a rose garden filled with thorns
It's been me against the world since the day I was born
There's a beauty to the blood that is on my hands
When it's drawn from the heart of another man
Death blooms

Poison flows through our lungs
we never seem to learn our rights from wrong
We always take what isn't ours
can't help but pull the leaves from the flowers
As the flames roar, the ash falls
and the earth begins to fracture
As the guns roar, the bombs fall
and it leads us to our rapture

Lost in a rose garden filled with thorns
It's been me against the world since the day I was born
There's a beauty to the blood that is on my hands
When it's drawn from the heart of another man

Quick to accuse and place the blame (place the blame)
For the destructive nature of the human race
It's like a fever we can't contain (can't contain)
So we'll turn our backs on a world we've betrayed
Death Blooms

Lost in a rose garden filled with thorns
It's been me against the world since the day I was born
There's a beauty to the blood that is on my hands
When it's drawn from the heart of another man
