ICON AND THE BLACK ROSES LYRICS

1. Lost

Shattered by rain,
shrouded by thoughts on a runaway train.
Seeking shelter from the storm and from the pain.
Another empty glass.
Another line, another friend,
yet no sight or track.
You can’t find your way back.

And your flame grows colder
as the night is over.

Now you’re lost
for following your heart.
It guided you so far
and you don’t know where you are,
cause, baby, now you’re lost.
You were following your heart.
It guided you so far
and you don’t know where you are,
cause, baby, you’re lost.

Holding you head up high
but the mirror can’t lie,
it shows tears in your eyes.
Sadness blurs your sight,
like ether numbs your mind.
If I only knew
what you’d get yourself into...
I wish I could.
Wish I was able to save you.

And your flame grows colder
as the night is over.

Now you’re lost
for following your heart.
It guided you so far
and you don’t know where you are,
cause, baby, now you’re lost.
You were following your heart.
It guided you so far
and you don’t know where you are,
cause, baby, you’re lost.

Open the door to a dream.
Ran the playground.
Found a maze.
You dared to enter,
took a deep breath.
We were friends holding hands.

Walk deeper into the green,
ignore the colors as they fade.
The world grows larger as you shrink.
You turn around and no one’s there.

Baby, now you're lost.

You were following your heart.
It guided you so far
and you don’t know where you are,
cause, baby, you’re lost.
You were following your heart.
It guided you so far
and you don’t know where you are,
cause, baby, you’re lost.

2. Innocence

Innocence faded, drowned in a memory.
Silence is a step away from our suffering.
I hoped for better days to come but joy is not for us.
Our love tastes like doom.
It’s cutting you through.

Don’t cry.
Baby, don’t cry, no more.
Don’t cry.
Baby, don’t cry, no more.
Don’t cry.
My baby, don’t cry, no more.
Don’t miss me when I’m gone.

In love we‘ve lost track of reality.
Young hearts, hearts beating strong in a melody.
But the damage was too deep, so deep it got to me.
Infected my mind.
Opened a fatal wound inside.

Don’t cry.
Baby, don’t cry, no more.
Don’t cry.
Baby, don’t cry, no more.
Don’t cry.
My baby, don’t cry, no more.
Don’t miss me when I’m gone

Innocence faded from you and me.
Virtue was taken when we were sixteen.
Blossom and withered.
We’re just bodies without a soul or dream.

Don’t miss me, don’t cry anymore.
Don’t miss me when I’m gone.

3. The Painter

Last time I let you go,
I didn’t know we were supposed to be together.
Baby, you and me in this frame.

Maybe you were scared of me,
oh baby, I got carried away.
My art is dark, so beautiful in the end.

Why don’t you run away?
Cause hide and seek is my favorite game.

I will find you, I will find you.
I will find you there to paint it red,
to paint your soul with blood.
I will find you, I will find you.
I will find you there to paint it red,
to paint your soul.

Chasing silhouettes deprived.
I feel the guilt but I feel alive.
I’ve drawn a thousand pictures of me and you.
I know that I cannot be loved,
I cannot change my tainted soul.
I never really wanted to at all.

Why don’t you run away?
Cause hide and seek is my favorite game.

I will find you, I will find you.
I will find you there to paint it red,
to paint your soul with blood.
I will find you, I will find you.
I will find you there to paint it red,
to paint your soul.

You won’t just come running back to me.
Baby, you will crawl.

4. Wings Of A Dreamer

Do you light a smile
when it hurts the most?
And why do you seem to thrive
on the angst you put me through?
With you there’s no future, at least not for me.
You make me a different man, made me so much weaker.
All my childhood dreams will never be
destroyed by your ruthless mind.

I close my eyes and step into the endless fall
while you break, the wings of a dreamer.
Held onto your arms,
your arms while I was pushed into the endless fall.
I can’t forget,
you staring back at me, killing me slowly.

Once you were so kind,
once you believed the future held the best for both of us
and I believed in you.
Somehow you lost those feelings, that made you different.
Something I couldn’t fight,
not that I hadn’t tried to I tried to bring you back to life from hell
and you came wielding a scythe.

This can’t be you, who are you?

I close my eyes and step into the endless fall
while you break, the wings of a dreamer.
Held onto your arms,
your arms while I was pushed into the endless fall.
I can’t forget,
you staring back at me, killing me slowly.

Kill me.
Don’t inflict this pain in vain.
A desert lies where all hope was once.
A leafless tree too strong to fall on its own.
Finish what you have begun.
When all love inside has died like a river dried,
no longer runs love.

Tell me who, who will pray for us?
Cause tonight the angels fall
while you break the wings of a dreamer.
Held onto your arms,
my arms while you were sucked into the endless fall.
I can’t forget,
you staring back at me, drowning slowly.

5. Moments Of Madness

It’s just a brief moment of madness.
It’s just the sweet taste of fragileness.
It has taken all we had,
chewed it up and spat it out.
It brought me to my knees,
I’m giving up.

Don’t call if you love me.
Don’t speak if you’re week.
Don’t reach if you’re eager to feel
what we might have been.
Don’t say that it’s hurting.
Don’t weep if you bleed.
Quit trusting your heart, baby,
or else you’ll sink with me.

It’s just another moment of weakness.
Just another lie.
And we have crossed the borderline.
We can’t go any further,
we’re left with no choice but to let go.

Don’t call if you love me.
Don’t speak if you’re week.
Don’t reach if you’re eager to feel
what we might have been.
Don’t say that it’s hurting.
Don’t weep if you bleed.
Quit trusting your heart, baby,
or else you’ll sink with me.

Don’t call, don’t fall for me again.
Our passion has died out.
Don’t speak, don’t even say my name.
What we lost was never found.
There is no place for you and me anymore.
If we keep remembering the past we can never be free.

Don’t call if you love me.
Don’t speak if you’re week.
Don’t reach if you’re eager to feel
what we might have been.
Don’t say that it’s hurting.
Don’t weep if you bleed.
Quit trusting your heart, baby,
or else you’ll sink with me.

6. The Devil Has Made You

I open my chest filled with sorrow.
Leave time to heal the wounds in me.
And once I lock the door and throw away the key,
you come back to life to haunt me in my dreams.

Higher,
up to the skies and drop me in the fire
of your lies, are fuelling the pyre.
No regrets, no sorrows in your demise.
Cause the devil’s made you
for one night.

Close your eyes and wash the pain away.
And sail me in your ocean of infinity.
Tomorrow I will cry beside your bed and sigh.
A dying song a dirge for our last goodbye.

Higher,
up to the skies and drop me in the fire
of your lies, are fuelling the pyre.
No regrets, no sorrows in your demise.
Cause the devil’s made you
for one night.

You’re born out of hell to bring me pleasure.
You’re fond of seeing me this way,
in tragedy and madness.
Indulged in destroying my life.
I’ll nail you to a cross, babe, when we say goodbye.

You take me higher,
up to the skies and drop me in the fire
of your lies, are fuelling the pyre.
No regrets, no sorrows in your demise.
Cause the devil’s made you
for one night.

7. Healing Touch

I was born with a healing touch.
I thought I could wipe those tears.
Turns out I’m not as strong as I thought
or as worthy of what I’ve been given.

You were born a precious stone.
You were everything I needed,
but I was too afraid of letting you go.
No, I can’t be without you.
This ain’t what I’ve pictured.

Oh god, what have I done?
I’ve cut your wings, my angel.
I couldn’t soar the same skies as you.
Oh no, it’s true, I wish that I could mend it.
No love can heal what I have broken.

This can’t be undone, I left you incomplete.
A statue gazing back at me with such love
it could melt solid gold.
The more I made you feel, the higher you had to fall.
Please forgive me, I know what I did was wrong.
No, I couldn’t live without you.
This ain’t what I’ve pictured.

Oh god, what have I done?
I’ve cut your wings, my angel.
I couldn’t soar the same skies as you.
Oh no, it’s true, I wish that I could mend it.
No love can heal what I have broken.

No love can heal what I have broken.

8. Sometimes

Sometimes life gets the best of me
but when I call, you come and find me...

These were the best days of my life
I am so proud to be beside you
cause all I need is here.
Hold my hand,
we’ll watch this world fade away into the starts, my friend,
cause all I need is here.

Sometimes life isn’t what it seems
and sometimes we fade away into our dreams.

As I grow old and the more I see,
words you said reflect in me.
As time goes by,
I see the good in you shine through me.
In a world so cold, you were my best friend
and I can’t thank you enough for what you have done.
I hope it shows in the end.

These were the best days of my life
I am so proud to be beside you
cause all I need is here.
Hold my hand,
we’ll watch this world fade away into the starts, my friend,
cause all I need is here.

Sometimes life isn’t what it seems
and sometimes we fade away into our dreams.

You never walked away.
You stayed right here beside me.
You never walked away,
not even when I hurt you so much.

I am so proud to be beside you
cause all I need is here.
Hold my hand,
we’ll watch this world fade away into the starts, my friend,
cause all I need is here.

These were the best days of my life...

9. With Or Without You

My world is ending,
swept away by fear,
just fading away.
The mask has dropped,
can’t face who we betrayed.

Nothing but criminals,
that’s how they will see us.
There’s too much at stake in here.
We got no choice but to cut our losses and leave.

And when the city is burning,
Tonight I’m leaving.
I’ll leave with or without you.
And when the streets are crumbling down to ashes,
I’ll leave with or without you.
This town is burning.
Tonight I’m leaving.
I’ll leave with or without you.
The streets are burning, burning, burning.
I’ll leave with or without you.
With or without you.

With you my world is ending.
This time I’ve got to leave.
There must be something better
than these wounds that we share
and pain that we give.

And I hope you forgive me,
it’s your choice to come or stay.
If we’re fighting for our lives we’d better run away.

And when the city is burning,
Tonight I’m leaving.
I’ll leave with or without you.
And when the streets are crumbling down to ashes,
I’ll leave with or without you.
This town is burning.
Tonight I’m leaving.
I’ll leave with or without you.
The streets are burning, burning, burning.
I’ll leave with or without you.
With or without you.

With you my world is ending.

And when the city is burning,
Tonight I’m leaving.
I’ll leave with or without you.
And when the streets are crumbling down to ashes,
I’ll leave with or without you.
This town is burning.
Tonight I’m leaving.
I’ll leave with or without you.
The streets are burning, burning, burning.
I’ll leave with or without you.
With or without you.

With you my world is ending.

10. Silence Is Everything

Close, so close to your chest.
I can hear you breathe
in your darkest hour.
Touch, I touched your face.
Your skin feels like silk,
now I can’t turn back.

So I kissed your lips and you whispered
“Now it’s too late”
As cold as ice, as blind as your heart.
You think it’s broken,
too proud to let it show.
But if it’s broken why is it still beating?
You’ve cut through your veins,
you’ve cut through your heart and soul.
You’re feeling dead but your heart still beats.

Pain,
I see it in your eyes.
It can’t be reached so deep inside.
I surrender, I just can’t fight.
This battle is yours to survive.

So I kissed your lips and you whispered
“Now it’s too late”
As cold as ice, as blind as your heart.

You think it’s broken,
too proud to let it show.
But if it’s broken why is it still beating?
You’ve cut through your veins,
you’ve cut through your heart and soul.
You’re feeling dead but your heart still beats.

Cry, to kill your pride.
Live to see the sunrise.
Why don’t you cry?
Leave your fears,
release your tears.
Don’t say goodbye.

Don’t let go of my hand,
let the sun light up your way.
Don’t let the darkness drag you in.
Stay with me, my baby,
keep fighting, keep holding on.
Don’t you give up and close your eyes,
don’t say goodbye, my love.

Stay with me, don’t leave me,
keep fighting, keep holding on.
Stay with me, don’t tell me,
the silence is everything.

Keep holding on, keep holding on my love.
