Monarchy of Roses

The crimson tide is flowing through your fingers as you sleep

The promise of a clean regime are promises we keep

Do you like it rough, I ask and are you up to task?

The calicoes of pretty bone where cultures come to clash

Several of my best friends wear the colors of the crown

And Mary wants to build it up

And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl

The savior of your light

The monarchy of roses, the monarchy of roses tonight

We're crossed between the former queen, her legendary stare

The holy tears of iron in the lovely cross to bear

Several of my best friends know the secrets of this town

And Mary wants to raise it up

And Sherry wants to spit it all around, girl

The sailors of the night

The monarchy of roses, the monarchy of roses tonight

Several of my best friends wear the colors of the crown

And Mary wants to build it up

And Sherry wants to tear it all back down, girl

The savior of your light

The monarchy of roses, the monarchy of roses

Hey, yeah, we all want the rose you know

I said, hey, yeah, show us love before you go

Say I will, and then I say I want to

History knows that I would never taunt you

Hey, yeah, we all want the rose you know

I said, hey, yeah, show us love before you go

Say I will and then I'll say I want to

History knows that I will always want you

Hey
