Toxical Roses Lyrics - Rough Silk

will the forces of daybreak someday quit the fight? 

do androids dream of electric sheep in the night? 

faster than light? 

will princes of anger on horses of pain 

gather in silence and black where only skeletons 

remain 

in the toxical rain? 

and we dance to the beat of the night 

- swallow our fears for the trace of a moment 

while chances retreat in the light 

follow acid tears down to the river of 

toxical roses - toxical roses 

where do we go - straight to the overkill? 

chemical weapons - greenhouse effect 

industrial dragons in search of a cause 

Tschernobyl - Avalon - spaces' jaws? 

the old entertainer - once jester of kings 

but nobody listens when now of puppets 

he sings - on toxical strings 

and we dance to the beat of the night 

- swallow our fears for the trace of a moment 

while chances retreat in the light 

follow acid tears down to the river of 

will someday time stand still 

or can we find a way 

to catch a lightning in the dark 

to open the eyes of the world?
