about

My original song entitled Roses, as seen on YouTube.
Judges Chapter 16

lyrics

Roses, she brought them everyday.
Roses, love had come to pay.
The desperation clouded you, my friend.
Loving gifts aren't always heaven sent.

Samson, can't you see?
No strength can set you free.
Her face may be divine
But it's the hidden pain behind that you can't see.
Like roses, her thorns aren't what you need.
Roses are never what you need.

She says, a secret's only weakness.
She says, give it all to me.
But don't you be confused of her intent.
She doesn't have the same moral sense.

Samson, can't you see?
No strength can set you free.
Her face may be divine
But it's the hidden pain behind that you can't see.
Like roses, her thorns aren't what you need.
Roses are never what you need.

And some say, love is easy
But when your back's against the wall
Left with no choice at all.
It doesn't seem that way,
Someone has to pay so you've one last chance to tear down the enemy.

Samson, can't you see?
No strength can set you free.
Her face may be divine
But it's the hidden pain behind that you can't see.
Like roses, her thorns aren't what you need.
Roses are never what you need.
