Attar Of Roses

The angels wept for a thousand days

For cities of blood had passed by their wings

Attar of roses paved the waving fields

A city was formed when they fell from the hills

Corrupted soil was human born

And tears were the debt that they owed the shore

A pained expression fell on many days

I saw it in their faces and in their gaze

If grief was the price they'd paid to love

Why would they love

If grief was the price they'd pay to love

Why would they love

And how the people changed

And how the seasons changed

They ruled with heartlessness from that day

Said 'he's given us these feelings without his grace'

Funerals high and shrouded births

And not a single sea could slate their thirst

You have told so many lies

Let them sear in fear of light

You said to live there will be blood

So they drained all the organs that could harbour love

If this was the price they'd pay to love

Why would they love

If this was the price they'd pay to love

Why do they love

And how the people change

How the seasons change

He swore he'd keep them safe

But how the people changed
