Down in the garden, where the shadows lie,
I saw a black rose bloom beneath the midnight sky.
A beauty so haunting, it steals your breath,
But every thorn it hides can cut you to death.
Oh, black rose, black rose, why you call my name?
Black rose, black rose, drive a man insane.
The rain kissed your petals, but it won't wash away,
The secrets you carry, the hearts you betray.
I reached for your beauty, thought I'd take a chance,
But your touch drew blood, left me in a trance.
Oh, black rose, black rose, why you call my name?
Black rose, black rose, drive a man insane.
They warned me about you, said to stay away,
But your dark perfume pulled me astray.
Now I'm trapped in your garden, can't find the gate,
Your love's a poison, and I'm too late.
Oh, black rose, black rose, why you call my name?
Black rose, black rose, drive a man insane.
(Black rose... black rose...)
