THE SOUNDS OF NIRIH

"THE ROSES ARE DYING"
(from The Mawuvia Suite
arranged and recorded by Niteowl)

The Roses are dying.  I think they've stopped trying.
You don't come around anymore.
The moment grows nearer when no one will live here.
Oh, how can I open the door?

Can we make it?  One more time?
Can we laugh?  Can we dance?
Can we drink the wine?
One more time?  Oh, just one more time?

Time's moving faster, and gone is the laughter.
I know, now, what they're thinking of.
We all seem like strangers in face of this danger,
When now what we need is to love.

Can we make it?  One more time?
Can we laugh?  Can we dance?
Can we drink the wine?
One more time?  Oh, just one more time?

The door will not open.  I want to be with you.
We've never been this way before.
And fear has come to me.  I know it's your duty,
But, please can I see you once more?

Can we make it?  One more time?
Can we laugh?  Can we dance?
Can we drink the wine?
One more time?  Oh, just one more time?
