It was dark and I was waiting
 Some wolves were howling and it was full moon
 Suddenly a total silence
 I knew it had to happen soon

 I was lonely out there
 waiting for my messenger
 He was about to bring me the Black Rose
 I knew he would be coming soon
 'cause thunderclouds were passing by
 and flashing lights were blinding my eyes

 There he stood in front of me
 The men for whom I had been waiting long
 In his left hand the Black Rose
 The most powerful flower

 Ancient words of evil times
 spoken by the messenger
 made this sacred flower shine bright
 I could feel it's magic touch
 It gave me strength, but far too much
 and then I felt it couldn't be right

CHORUS
 The Black Rose, the Black Rose, the Black Rose
 is coming out to get you
 The Black Rose, the Black Rose, the Black Rose
 is coming out to get you

SOLO 1

repeat CHORUS

 The messenger, he spoke out his curse
 The demons power, i felt it strong
 The Black Rose was credit to all this
 in the hands of a devils son
 A terrible disaster had just begun
 The Black Roses revenge was cruel
 A new age began with this flower
 This rose was a destructive tool
 The sun was covered by clouds
 The moon now forever shines
 An evil century made it's entry
 We'd better dig our graves, to die
