about

based on the notion of the death of love with the image of a red red rose. the rose is in a secret garden behind a high wall, and in a street in a city that is burning. that is the way. that is how it must be.

lyrics

'this city is burning'

when i awoke this morning
sunlight streamed thru my window
the sky was blue
the sky was blue
outside my window
the church bells the church bells rang
the bells were ringing
outside my window

this city is old
the streets have no name
somewhere there is a garden
somewhere there is a garden
this city is burning
this city is burning

when i woke up this morning
sunlight streamed thru my window
the sky was blue
the sky was blue
when i woke up this morning
the church bells rang
outside my window
the bells were ringing
the bells were ringing

this city is burning
behind a high wall
a wall of concrete and stone
behind a high wall
there is a garden
this city is burning
the flames rise high
into the sky
into the blue sky

there is a rose
a rose in the garden
a red red rose
the name of the rose
is the death of love

this city is burning
this city burns all night long
the flame leap high into the sky

i have been to that garden
perhaps it was in a dream
i saw the red red rose
the deal of love
the death of love
i saw the red red rose

when i woke up this morning
flames reached high itno the sky
this city is burning
this city is burning
this city is burning
the flames reach high into the sky

the name of the rose is the death of love
who will be spared by morning
they read their holy books and they pray
