Where the Roses Fade (Garden of Shadows) Lyrics

In the garden of shadows nothing truly dies

Every bloom whispers secrets to the soil

Beneath the waning sun

The roses bleed their scarlet hue

Each petal's silent fall

A story written on the dew

Shadows stretch and weave

Among the graves of blooms once bright

Life breathes in decay

As roots entwine with endless night

Where the roses fade

The earth reclaims its due

The scythe may fall

But seeds will sprout anew

Ashes feed the ground

Life's eternal sound

The garden whispers low and deep

It's secrets sown in roots that keep

A willow bends and sways

It's branches cradle whispers deep

The soil cradles bones

From which new emerald tendrils creep

Death wears a patient guise

Tending blooms with spectral care

Each end a gentle start

In this cycle beyond despair

Where the roses fade

The earth reclaims its due

The scythe may fall

But seeds will sprout anew

Ashes feed the ground

Life's eternal sound

The garden whispers low and deep

It's secrets sown in roots that keep

The ivy claims the stone

It's tendrils creeping toward the light

Old roots drink the rain

Feeding blooms in the endless night

The cycle turns again

Each leaf a memory reborn

The garden keeps its vow

Through every death a new day's morn

Where the roses fade

The earth reclaims its due

The scythe may fall

But seeds will sprout anew

Ashes feed the ground

Life's eternal sound

The garden whispers low and deep

It's secrets sown in roots that keep

Beneath the moon's cold silver gaze

The roots and bones forever embrace

A requiem blooms in silent shade

Where life and death their vows replay

Where the roses fade

The earth reclaims its due

The scythe may fall

But seeds will sprout anew

Ashes feed the ground

Life's eternal sound

The garden whispers low and deep

It's secrets sown in roots that keep

Where the roses fade

The earth reclaims its due

The scythe may fall

But seeds will sprout anew

Ashes feed the ground

Life's eternal sound

The garden whispers low and deep

It's secrets sown in roots that keep

Shadows cradle every seed

The blooms return; the cycle feeds

Life begins where death concedes

In the garden of shadows life and death are one
