&quot;Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Have they not been made such a fool in their squalor?<br /> <br /> For they desired a sign and sought for the wise<br /> <br /> When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes&quot; - Wolves at the Gate

Red roses! Red roses!
Dancing Daffodil knows it.
Knows she is below them.
Childish, from blossom, to stem.

Red roses! Red roses!
Taunting Tulip shows it.
Shows she is below them.
Foolish, from blossom, to stem.

Red roses! Red Roses!
Opulent Orchid ignores it.
Ignores she is below them.
Prideful, from blossom, to stem.

Red roses! Red roses!
Red roses are stolen.
Stolen for the lover of him.
Alone, from blossom, to stem.
