White Rose

 You were waiting for your chance, it wasn't coming
 You were waiting for your chance, it finally came
 Did they catch you standing still, were you thinking about running
 Did they know you were the ones who hated evil more than pain

 Just an old photograph left to show
 White roses fall in the snow
 Bursting into flower red roses grow
 Where white roses lay broken in the snow

 You could have lived to be old without trying
 Just your children to remember your name
 Beautiful flowers are beautiful dying
 When you die for true love you didn't die in vain

 Just an old photograph left to show
 White roses fall in the snow
 Bursting into flower red roses grow
 Where white roses lay broken in the snow

 So easily you make me cry
 Like pouring rain tears fall from my eyes
 But there's no virtue in crying and no virtue in trying
 To deny I would stand by the tracks and never see the train

 Just an old photograph left to show
 White roses fall in the snow
 Bursting into flower red roses grow
 Where white roses lay broken in the snow
