white roses painted red,
heads drop to the floor.
the bloody spirit here
has caused many to long for more.

white roses painted red,
too many to count.
they try their best to stay fresh,
but they'll wilt without a doubt.

white roses painted red,
who'd cry out when you'd taunt
only one white rose was tainted,
until more was what you sought.

white roses painted red,
no matter what others say
will always be a part of me,
with me, red roses will stay.
