There is a rose in the Devil's garden

In shadow it grows alone

Many things are dangerous now

In this garden we call home



Be careful as you make your way

Some things are poison to the touch

You've spent your life living in this place now

You long to run away so much



My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose)

Held out to you by hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now)

And as this dark romance grows

It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away

Above the Devil's garden



The fertile soil of poisoned hearts

Fed by tears and nighttime rain

Under Transylvanian moon

Grows a flower of death and pain



Death is pure-life is not

So ask yourself, what do you want?

As for me, well I want you

So pick the black rose, let its thorns cut you



My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose)

Held out to you by hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now)

And as this dark romance grows

It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away

Above the Devil's garden..
