Karma

If love can’t outlast the grave, then what’s the point of it all? Blood Red Roses offers a tale of love as both a blessing and a curse, a lover’s spell that binds and breaks. The lyrics speak of the painful grip of desire, where passion cuts deep, and the roses bloom with both beauty and brutality. It’s a song of torment, of being bound to a love that wounds as much as it seduces. The heart, though shattered, is drawn ever closer to the sweet destruction. Blood Red Roses weaves a rich tapestry of religious themes and metaphors, invoking the crucifixion—the ultimate act of sacrifice—and the unwavering faith in resurrection. In the realm of gothic literature, parallels are drawn between the holy communion and the dark covenant of iconic vampires like Nosferatu, Dracula, and Vourdalak. Legends recount how those who witnessed such haunting spectacles etched their tales into history, whispering of eternal life.
In this context, roses—deep crimson and tinged with blood—become powerful symbols of a love forged in sacrifice. The inspiration for writing Blood Red Roses emerged from a serene moment of introspection, its haunting hook taking shape during a meditative moment when frontman Pete Mills drifted beyond time into a spiritual plane. The themes explored in the track also delve into a toxic love that spirals into depravity yet clings desperately to the flicker of hope for rebirth and redemption—all things part and parcel regarding religious fervor and pacts sealed in blood.

The video for the song, inspired by Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation—particularly the infrared scenes of Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) in the arena—was shot by Ellen Hawk. It showcases Mills’ multi-instrumental talents and mirrors the song’s intensity, capturing the complex emotions at the heart of Blood Red Roses.

Released at the spawn of Autumn as the world shifts into the cold of winter, Blood Red Roses keeps those, who dare to love, warm throughout the storm.

Blood Red Roses

I Search For A Sign

Elegia, Florida

I’m so high my nose bleeds
I’m so low I’m 6 feet 
I won’t live on my knees
You’re not who you used to be 

And I can’t recognize myself 
One way ticket straight to hell 
And I can’t entertain your spell
And all that’s left is memories 

The witch is burning 
The wolves will eat my carcus
I’m so used to loses 
On this night 
The village wins
 
They’re drunk and stupid 
And they want blood 
They need blood 

And they want blood 
They need blood 

I’m so high my nose bleeds
I’m so low I’m 6 feet 
I won’t love on my knees
You’re not who you used to be 

The witch is burning 
And all of them promised a trail 
But all they want is one thing 
They want blood they need blood 

And I will go down with her still
One way ticket straight to hell
Bury me down  with her screams 
Curse you all
I want blood
