lyrics

The Last Rose

We babble on like nothin's wrong
We’ll battle on 'till it's all gone
It's a story with no glory
The last rose fading black

God disappears when preaching fear
Like lightnin’ spears to our ears
It's a “good book” if ya don't look
Give your money for that honey
The last rose fading black

Will we rise through the smoke
From the lies the burnin’ vote
Will we sing a chorus note
Save the last rose from fading black

When life's a gun it wounds everyone
Shoot skin they shun race can't be won
These are sad days the way the flag waves
All the caged ones all the murdered sons
Senseless war blood for oil whores
The last rose fading black

Will we rise through the smoke
From the lies and burnin’ vote
Will we sing a chorus note
Save the last rose from fading black

The oceans rise we can’t disguise
Earth will win despite our sins
The last rose fading black
The last rose fading black
The last rose No turning back
The last rose
