Painting the Rose Red Lyrics

Orders are orders

Mistakes are punishable

Red always red

With trembling hands, the brushes glide

A mistake we must not let reside

The queen demands perfection here

No white petals, no mistakes sincere

Painting the roses red, red as her wrath

Cover the white, avoid her path

Step in line, obey the call

One wrong stroke and heads will fall

Crimson stains on trembling ground

Each stroke echoes a fear profound

A single misstep, a painted flaw

And we'll face the queen's iron law

Hurry, faster, the queen is near

Let her see, don't let her hear

The white still shows, cover it all

Painting the roses red, red as her wrath

Cover the white, avoid her path

Step in line, obey the call

One wrong stroke and heads will fall

It's not enough, it's never enough
