Roses to No One - Lyrics - Edguy
Edguy was founded in 1992 by 14-year-old students Tobias Sammet, Jens Ludwig, Dominik Storch and Dirk Sauer. The name "Edguy" was an affectionate epithet for their math teacher at the time. In 1994, the band released two demos, Evil Minded and Children of Steel. These tapes were sent to many record labels, all of whom rejected the band, believing they would be unsuccessful in the music business. Undeterred, they self released their âunofficialâ debut album, Savage Poetry, in 1995. They signed with AFM Records shortly after, who offered to re-release Savage Poetry with more widespread distribution. The band rejected this proposal in favour of recording a new album, Kingdom of Madness, which was released in 1997, but drummer Dominik Storch left the band shortly after. 1998 saw the release of their second album, Vain Glory Opera, with friend Frank Lindenthal filling in on drums. This album helped expose Edguy to a wider audience, thanks in part to guest appearances from Timo Tolkki and Hansi Kürsch . The band was joined by new drummer Felix Bohnke and bassist Tobias âEggiâ Exxel later that year, allowing Tobias Sammet to solely focus on vocals .

"I'm feeling this time
As bad as never before
A bleeding wag is fading away
Once you needed me
For spending delight
But below the funny mask
There's a crying face
The way that I smile is the way that I cry
But you'll never realize
My reputation is the one of a fool
Now watch how poet dies
Hear his cries
(Chorus)
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no none to drink
The blood that I bleed
The poet inside - wasn't given a chance
So he had to live apart
And I realized - my best friend am I
And not those parasites
Who try to stare into my heart
The way that I feel is the way that I heal
My body and soul and my life
And I know you just think I'm a fool
Now watch how a poet flies, see me rise
(Chorus)
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there is no mind to help to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink
The blood that I bleed
(Solo: Jens)
(Chorus)
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there's no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed
And I dedicate my roses to no one
Cause there's no mind to help me to see
The reason we need
A light for the lonesome
And no one to drink the blood that I bleed"
