Roses made of glass We were roses made of glass. We stood tall in the ground. Red like autumn And beautiful like the day. We were roses made of glass. The wind blowing against us Rain and thunder But nothing could tear us down. We were roses made of glass. Untouched and pure Sweet and youthful And Death seemed so far away. We were rose made of glass Plucked from the ground And smashed into small fragments Like the broken people we had become. We were roses made of glass Pleasing to eyes of others A representation of the perfection Really we were all just boys, given the roles of men. We were roses made of glass.

Roses made of glass - WW1 inspired
Roses made of glass We were roses made of glass. We stood tall in the ground. Red like autumn And beautiful like the day. We were roses made of glass. The wind blowing against us Rain and thunder But nothing could tear us down. We were roses made of glass. Untouched and pure Sweet and youthful And Death seemed so far away. We were rose made of glass Plucked from the ground And smashed into small fragments Like the broken people we had become. We were roses made of glass Pleasing to eyes of others A representation of the perfection Really we were all just boys, given the roles of men. We were roses made of glass.
