speed kills, but beauty lives forever

speed thrills, but beauty knows your name

i fell ill inside eternal winter, winter

and stood still beside eternal flame



and when i ride

with you tonight

we can move

at the speed of light

with all i'd asked

and all i'd pray

the last rose of summer would stay



first time that i ever saw you

crashing hard thru days of pain

you were one of god's children

left to cry out in the rain

waiting to be saved again



'cause when i ride

with you tonight

we can move

at the speed of light

and all i'd ask

and all i pray

the last rose of summer

the last rose of summer

the last rose of summer is gone

long gone, gone

the last rose of summer is gone



when i ride

with you tonight

we can move

at the speed of light

forever young

forever blind

into the stars

we rock tonight



last rose of summer is gone

the last rose of summer is gone

the last rose of summer is gone

the last rose of summer is gone

the last rose of summer

the last rose of summer

the last rose of summer is gone
