Lyrics
THE FORLORN APARNA RIDDLE
Blood dries upon forgotten roses
My demons weave vivid dreams of you
With my own brush I painted my own torment
Tapestries still hang in empty rooms
We shared a love of flesh and of the darkness
You spoke of loss and how you carved your arms
Helpless I lacked the strength to tell you
All I wanted was to hold your heart
All the regret we take, to the grave
I guess we all pay for it one day
A ghost alive I drift through my life searching
For that untaken path that I somehow missed
In a realm where past can be repeated
In that realm where you still exist
Am I really searching for forgiveness
Do I search for anything at all
For all those times that I refused to touch you
For wasted years I chased the sirens' call
All the regret we take, to the grave
I guess we all pay for it... one day
Fallen angel walking earth among us
The stars shine down for only you
Somehow this devil caught your glances
I walked away and lost a life with you.
