Ruin is the road to rebirth,

Pain is but a passing phase,

A run in the ladder

To a place beyond this world

Where the devil and the blessed

Unite in a fiery embrace

And out of this chaos

A single rose is born.

Suppurating with life's pulse

Dripping with verdant glory

Its beauty sings times immemorial dance

Of life and of death.

We must surrender our story

Submit to our destiny

To this rose of rebirth

Which grows at the feet 

Of our next tragedy

Ready to be plucked

And its sweet dew tasted

Again and again.
