[Verse 1]
Sick and twisted
She stands with a lion's roar, leaves you breathless
Down and out, but never counted, so count her in
Doomed and haunted, a vicious midnight stare
The weight so heavy
Cloaked in black, with a vicious midnight stare
She leaves you breathless

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows there's sights unseen
Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows there's sights unseen

[Chorus]
She carries a black rose
She carries a black rose
Effigy from the story closed
She carries a black rose

[Verse 2]
Sweet Iona, she's so bloodthirsty
All men better beware
Not her gaze, her fucking violent stare
She leaves you breathless
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows there's sights unseen
Everyone knows death walks on these roads
Everyone knows

[Chorus]
She carries a black rose
She carries a black rose
Effigy from the story closed
She carries a black rose

[Bridge]
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Have you ever been in love?
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Have you ever been in love?
Love is a killer!
Everyone knows, everyone knows love is a killer!

[Outro]
She carries a black rose
She carries a black rose
Effigy from the story closed
She carries a black rose
