1. MYSTERY OF A BLOOD RED ROSE

[Lead vocals: Tobias]

[Lead guitar: Sascha Paeth]

We've played our roles in our passion plays

They've impossed on us right from the cradle

No matter hat you dream! beae of hat you say

"ntil the cogheel's out of control to burst out of place

No time to breathe! don't have no time to aste

#ring on the night! sei$e every drop of life aay

Slice a tasty hour from %or in a blin& it ill be gone

( stranding future bring it on

)ystery of a blood red rose

#urning li&e a raging fire

When the day's been torn apart e'll leave it behind


*easting on a blind desire

Let the scent of poisonous floers tempt me aay

( seet tempation and a pure red rose

While the hour don't ait for a blin& to cram the past

+'ll get a move on

No hesitation ma&es no one a better man

+ can't ait to finally &no no hat is gonna sho no in

Whose signs they cannot read

(s silence doesn't tal&! eternity ill cease

(nd as you marvel at the artor& in your hands

3ic& in detail! so frail and beautiful

(nd you forget the rules

The elder's alays made up for you

To save you precious time

They had a lot to give aay

When their hearts had eyes to see

(nd the final mystery

Was more than a fancy tale

(nd ansers you did find

To dare hat you ould find inside! no
