I asked you for peace
In the quiet of my trembling soul
For a little light to breathe
When the night becomes too long
And I'll come to you
With bouquets of thorns
Bleeding roses in my hands
And a promise carved in storm
Whisper to me, love
Tell me you still believe
Though you fall to your knees
In a procession of broken dreams
I'll give you love and a bunch of thorns with flowers
I'll pray for love, and I'll walk in a sea of arrows
You look at me through a glass of halos
On my knees I walk to you with my roses petals
Your flowers kneel before me
Their petals whisper prayers
Yet every stem is crowned
With the pain you cannot bear
Still, I asked you for love
For a gentle touch of dawn
But you answered with shadows
And a heart wrapped in thorns
Whisper again, stay close
Let the silence be our guide
Maybe peace will bloom
Where our wounds collide
I'll give you love and a bunch of thorns with flowers
I'll pray for love, and I'll walk in a sea of arrows
You look at me through a glass of halos (oh)
On my knees I walk to you with my roses petals
And in this procession
Where your knees kiss the ground
I take your thorned offerings
And turn them into sound
I'll give you love and a bunch of thorns with flowers
I'll pray for love, and I'll walk in a sea of arrows
You look at me through a glass of halos (oh)
On my knees I walk to you with my roses petals
