“Rose & Tulip” by Silent Nails is a hauntingly emotional metal ballad that explores the delicate balance between love, longing, and inevitable loss. The lyrics convey a profound yearning to break down barriers and find unity, even in the face of fear and uncertainty. Through powerful vocals and intense instrumentation, the song navigates themes of connection, ancient prophecies, and the bittersweet nature of love. It paints a vivid story of two souls reaching out to one another, trying to melt the ice of past wounds with the fire of newfound affection. Ultimately, it’s a tale of love’s struggle against time and fate, beautifully expressed through raw, emotive performance.

Lyrics:

If wisdom eludes, then heed this plight,
For there’s no parley with endless night.
A word to the wise—embrace or deny,
Pray we never meet beneath Heaven’s eye.

In shadows deep where light retreats,
The soul in dance with truth competes.
What is peace but a fragile guise?
Pray, for mercy wears no disguise.

We tread the paths our ancestors paved,
Through trials born from hopes they braved.
In quiet moments, we bear their chains,
Haunted by echoes of their gains.

Every decision weaves a tale untold,
A haunting refrain from the brave and bold.
We linger in shadows, searching for grace,
Longing for light in a desolate space.

We bear the burdens our fathers cast,
In selling youth for gains that pass.
Where hope once clung, betrayal scars,
Etched in hearts, like distant stars.

Could God conceive what tempers break,
A force to raze all, for heaven’s sake?
From whispered pleas, despair finds shape,
Forged in cries we could not escape.

In tears and prayers, we crafted fate,
A shadowed path we’d walk too late.
Every hope, and fear we kept,
Gave rise to shadows that in silence crept.

We tread the paths our ancestors paved,
Through trials born from hopes they braved.
In quiet moments, we bear their chains,
Haunted by echoes of their gains.

Every decision weaves a tale untold,
A haunting refrain from the brave and bold.
We linger in shadows, searching for grace,
Longing for light in a desolate space.

We bear the burdens our fathers cast,
In selling youth for gains that pass.
Where hope once clung, betrayal scars,
Etched in hearts, like distant stars.
