War of Roses
Even now, as the red sun
Even as the stars
Even though, everyone's gone
When I saw, I saw them
Canon fire filled sky
The roaring noise, as I ran
Through fields of flowers
On the TV, back home
They'll talk about the things they've seen
But I never knew, it was a war of roses
War of roses
No anger, no pain
Just lay me down in a flower bed
I'll close my eyes, and I'll bow my head
And they'll never know, back home
A war of roses, where no one dies
A camera and a pretty picture
Flowers, war flowers
As they're lying all around
When I knew I knew for certain
Takes a lifetime in a flash
The thorns are there, and I pick a flower
War of roses
