The Devil's Garden

Roses turn to black
And darkness took the land

Below the crust where the dying stars freeze
A soil composed of an ancient disease
They drink the black from the dark of space
A sudden bloom in a vacant place

The hands of the clock are nailed to the wall
Waiting for the ultimate quiet to fall
Their color outshines the birth of a Sun
But breathing their scent leaves everyone undone

We traded the daylight for something profound
A garden that drags the whole world underground
Darkest flowers, tearing through the land!
A fatal beauty that settles where we can't

They open their petals
And swallow the air
We drown in the awe
And darkness took the land

Not a drop of water, not a gasp of heat
Just carbon beds where the dead ends meet
They weave their stems through the ribs of the past
A flawless design that was built to outlast

Look at the center, go blind from the grace
As the pollen erases the rest of the race
Absolute zero inside of the core
When the blossoms arrive, there is nothing anymore

We traded the daylight for something profound
A garden that drags the whole world underground
Darkest flowers, tearing through the land!
A fatal beauty that settles where we can't

They open their petals
And swallow the air
We drown in the awe
And darkness took the land

They open their petals
And swallow the air
We drown in the awe
And darkness took the land
