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
)ystery of a blood red rose
*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
)ystery of a blood red rose

To the sound of smashing yesterdays
We dance in ecstasy
