[Verse 1]
Speed kills, but beauty lives forever
Speed thrills, but beauty knows your name
I fell ill inside eternal winter
And stood still beside eternal flame

[Chorus]
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 x2

[Verse 2]
First time that I ever saw you
Crashing hard through days of pain
You were one of god's children
Left to cry out in the rain
Waiting to be saved again

[Chorus]
'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
[Bridge]
When I ride
With you tonight
We can move
At the speed of light
Forever young
Forever blind
Into the stars
We rock tonight

[Outro]
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
