Lyrics
There was a man living in the dark alley. He was so all alone. He was nothing but very true tragedy. All the sorrow the people have. Along he stumbled upon a Goth woman, who was cutting off the red roses. So she decided to paint the roses black Murder goes with everything.

They all lived happily together. But now, the woman is very cynical. Her emotionless face and her manipulative nature Is her only true feelings. The story shows on how it began To witness true love's patience Another lesson kept from a secret. Goths know their own ways.

We are all cynical sometimes, And merciless too. Like other goths really are. That's not what he seems!

Some people are made of love, Others are made of hate. It only takes the pain. Tragedy and misery. That's not what he seems!

Some words that don't make sense. Others have the key. You're the true role of a normal man. And I play the role of a Goth. She's cutting all of the roses. And I'm with it then. You always change my mind But the Devil has no deal.

He was so alone that he found something. A mirror, a knife and a book. Your favorite things caught down the drain Are the secret of your looks. The blood takes all the morose. And all the malaise he got. The Goth woman came over her and tell him a story. And they all lived back together.

We are all cynical sometimes, And merciless too. Like other goths really are. That's not what he seems!

Some people are made of love, Others are made of hate. It only takes the pain. Tragedy and misery. That's not what he seems!

Do you really need me? Do you think I'm pretty? I found myself an unusual person. The more stories you tell. The more realer they get. All stories can be told. With a happily ever after.

We are all cynical sometimes, And merciless too. Like other goths really are. That's not what he seems!

Some people are made of love, Others are made of hate. It only takes the pain. Tragedy and misery. That's not what he seems!
