Roses to Oblivion, lyrics by John Reneaud © 2026
A door half open leads the way
a soft light with a circus of golden faces
turning towards the sun
through the thicket, dim shade and the city bricks
beside the walls grow roses to oblivion
Your soul and heart were young and wild
Your soul and heart were young and wild
but now the crumbling stones tumble
Shining ghosts of transparent pale
Through the gloom a tangled starbeam and perfume The rose blooms
Goodbye now for she is dead crowned by the fairy god
The winter king decries out loud
"Grown in the garden of despair!
Your soul and heart were young and wild
Your soul and heart were young and wild
but now the crumbling stones tumble
Woe is the one who is a bloody fool
to love and loss and all that rule
I mourn for jewels and beauty lost
