Gone Are the Days - Burnt Down Roses Lyrics

What will I have to do with this life?
She came so close to me
What will I have to do with my wife?
She is so far from me

Burn down the rose
Grow a new one
Tonight you gotta sniff at emptiness
Burn down the house
Build a new one
Tonight you gotta stay in open field

What will I have to do with my knife?
It looks so tempting
What will I have to do with this hive?
I can't bear it no longer

Give me something, give me something I don't understand!

Burn down the rose
Grow a new one
Tonight you gotta sniff at emptiness
Burn down the house
Build a new one
Tonight you gotta stay in open field

As I approach you
My distant desire
I recognize the
Traces of fate
Though I have lost something
Can't heal it up
That is the only thing
I should regret

Burn down the rose
Grow a new one
Tonight you gotta sniff at emptiness
Burn down the house
Build a new one
Tonight you gotta stay in open field

I break these chains apart...
