(Lead: Arden) 
I hear the voices of dying souls 
They whisper softly with their final breaths 
While I'm awake or when I dream 
Images of the dead are surrounding me 
(Lead: Arden) 
Why are they haunting me?! 
What do they want from me?! 
(Release us) 
Why are they haunting me?! 
What do they want from me?! 
I don't see my own reflection 
When I look in the mirror 
A room of strangers that stare at me 
A cacophony of pleading 
In fear and anger 
By those who are trapped or won't let go of this world 
we see 
Then in the background I glimpse her face 
And softly she calls to me 
(I can still taste your tears) 
Is it real or only just in my mind? 
(I can still feel your arms around me) 
I long to hold her again 
Of roses and ruin 
I visit her once again 
My expression of devotion 
The flowers that lay frozen on her grave 
This is the only place I know she hears my voice; I 
bare my soul 
The icy grip of loneliness surrounds me 
Of roses and ruin. 
(Lead: Rob) 
A candle flickers with no breeze ... as the tallow 
slowly melts away 
I pray to forces unseen ... as I cry out her name 
My blood, it spills across her stone ... My blood, it 
spills across her stone 
My pain, it drives me to this end ... I won't lose her 
again 
And this time would be forever. 
(Lead: Rob) 
I awaken; I'm so cold ... My body drained; I feel so 
weak 
My blood is spilled across the snow ... All I want to 
do is sleep 
My head hangs heavy on her stone ... Has she crossed 
over; I can't tell? 
I hear a voice but it isn't hers ... I have lost her 
again 
Don't you recognize me? 
(Lead: Rob) 
Distorted spector 
Driven mad by eternity 
My beloved angel has turned on me 
In desperation 
We were both deceived 
She sought to escape and I was left to bleed 
Her realm is now inside my mind 
And screaming she calls to me 
(Now we'll never be alone) 
I can never find peace 
(This is where you longed to be) 
What have I unleashed? 
Of roses and ruin 
She visits me once again 
My expression of devotion 
Has driven me to the ragged edge 
There is no place I know to escape her voice; to free 
my soul 
The icy grip of madness surrounds me 
Of roses and ruin.
