[Intro]
Black roses climbing
Through silver dust
A garden of silence
A kingdom of trust

[Verse]
Behind the wall of saints and bones
A hidden stair descends
To coffins carved with royal signs
And names of vanished friends
No worm had touched the velvet there
No time had dimmed the deep
For loyalty was dreaming in
The crypt where roses sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
I knew their faces
I knew their scars
They followed my banner
Beneath dead stars

[Chorus]
In the crypt where roses sleep
My faithful still remain
Dreaming through the hollow years
And waiting in the rain
In the crypt where roses sleep
No oath has turned to dust
Love is stronger under stone
Than empires made of rust

[Verse]
My captain held his broken sword
Across his quiet chest
My lady wore the wedding ring
She never had confessed
The child who carried secret maps
Still smiled beneath the deep
They all had come to meet me in
The crypt where roses sleep

[Pre-Chorus]
I felt their silence
I felt their flame
The dead are not empty
When love speaks their name

[Chorus]
In the crypt where roses sleep
My faithful still remain
Dreaming through the hollow years
And waiting in the rain
In the crypt where roses sleep
No oath has turned to dust
Love is stronger under stone
Than empires made of rust

[Instrumental]
Strings bloom like roses in darkness
Guitars awaken the crypt’s old breath
Choir rises from sealed stone doors
The dead remember who they were

[Bridge]
Wake, my captain
Wake, my guard
Wake, my children
Dreaming hard
Wake, my sisters
Wake, my throne
No one rises
Lost alone

[Breakdown]
Rose by rose
Name by name
Ash by ash
Flame by flame
Heart by heart
Deep below
The buried court
Begins to glow

[Build-up]
If my kingdom is a grave
Then the grave shall learn to sing
If my crown is made of night
Then the night shall crown its queen

[Chorus]
In the crypt where roses sleep
My faithful still remain
Dreaming through the hollow years
And waiting in the rain
In the crypt where roses sleep
No oath has turned to dust
Love is stronger under stone
Than empires made of rust

[Chorus]
In the crypt where roses sleep
Let the black bloom open wide
Let the faithful dead arise
And walk again beside
In the crypt where roses sleep
We remember, we return
Every petal is a promise
Every coffin starts to burn

[Outro]
Black roses climbing
Through silver dust
A garden of silence
Awakens with us
