Lost in the Rose Garden at Dusk (Intro) Lyrics

My mind is gone away

It's hiding from the dark

Took my favourite pills today

They weren't enough

Cause heartache comes at such a cost

When your heart's already broken

And mind-break comes with such a cost

When your mind's already broken

Good evening ladies and gentlemen

I am the conductor

And I will be your speaker for the evening

So, have you all got your tickets

Good, let's get serious here for a moment folks

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today in the name of art and poetry

I am gathered here today in the name of death and desolation

For truly, it is within the unbeauty of the world

That we find the beauty of it

Sadness only amplifies joy

Light is only light in contrast

Now, say again the prayer with me

May the fire cleanse us the unholy rabble

Drench us in the eternal flame that we again may feel

The raging fire of life coursing through our veins

Burn all our darkness to ash

And let the light shine in our eyes

Like it shone in those before us

Give us the strength to persevere oh Lennon, Hendrix, Joplin and King

In the light of political upheaval and horrors beyond imagining

Burn our enemies for they are wrong

And light our sword ablaze for we are right

Ahem

There's blood in

I know

The rose garden

I'm lost

But no one seems to know

Hold me closer

There's mould in

I know

The ceiling

I'm lost

There's ash in the snow

Kiss my shoulder

There's blood in

I know

The rose garden

I'm lost

But no one seems to know

You're not supposed to

There's mould in

I know

The ceiling

I'm lost

There's ash in the snow

I'll make an exception tonight
