DEUS EX LUMINA - BLACK ROAD (Official Video)

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.
