Birds in the trees they sing a hopeful sound
Drown out all the screams and shaded by a mushroom cloud
Hope the kids don't see the flashes One day they'll play in the ashes
Smile cause we'll be free start again
Lord I been tellin you
Bout the end that's coming soon
The Black Rose has come in bloom
I cut a fresh bouquet just for you
Feel the peaceful breeze as the world is goin' mad
Shelter me from all the sorrow of the life I never had
Kick some dirt onto the embers Step on back just yellin' timber
Burrow down to stone and lock the door
Push the darkness out and flee to where the stars come out to lead you
Grab the ones you love and start again
Lord I been tellin you
Bout the end that's coming soon
The Black Rose has come in bloom
I cut a fresh bouquet just for you
Under fire and I don't know when to hide and where to go
I got mine can I be yours? We'll scurry home to see what for
The rains of fire dance above acquaint the smell of burnin doves
My Baby lets scurry home
As the stars touchdown to stamp out I'll sit back and pray for fallout
Smile cause we'll be free start again
Ain't got the time to check the notes see who's wrong or right
So darling take my hand and lets just walk into the light
Lord I been tellin you
Bout the end that's coming soon
The Black Rose has come in bloom
I cut a fresh bouquet just for you
