But Beauty Lives Forever
Speed kills
But beauty lives forever
Speed thrills
But beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winters
I stood still beside eternal flame
Because when I ride
With you tonight
We could move
At the speed of light
And all I ask and all I pray
Last rose of summer would stay
Last rose of summer will stay
The first time that I ever saw you
Crashing on the days of pain
You were one of your children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to descend again
Cause when I ride
With you tonight
We could move
At the speed of light
And all I ask and all I pray
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
Long gone
Gone
The last rose of summer is gone
And when I ride
With you tonight
We could move
At the speed of light
Forever young
Forever bright
And to the stars
We rock tonight
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer
The last rose of summer is gone
