Within Temptation
"Covered By Roses" lyrics

Covered By Roses

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 stand
While we watch you flow
Heaven can you help us
Where we can't go
Whoah, whoah

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 spill the wine until the end
We all have our place in time
Need to live every moment

We built our castles high
Turned our dreams to gold
We took the blows with 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

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 spill the wine until the end
We all have our place in time
Need to live every moment

For all we are
Is falling stars in the night
A blinding light
Raging down from the sky
The rise and fall
The rhapsody of our lives
It's all we are and know
We've got to let go

She dwells with beauty
Beauty that must die
And joy
Whose hand is ever at his lips
His soul shall taste
The sadness of her might
And be among her
Cloudy trophies hung

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 spill the wine until the end
We all have our place in time
Need to live every moment
