Initially, they were all part of different bands, playing in local pubs and small gigs to hone their skills and make a name for themselves. They crossed paths during a local music festival and, recognizing a shared passion for dark, intense and haunting music, they decided to form Scented Death.

The album was a tremendous success, catching the attention of several record labels. The band caught their big break when they were signed by the infamous ‘Gloom Records’. They have since released four more albums and have toured around the world, captivating audiences with their unique sound and chilling performances.

Title:
“One Last Rose”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1) [Em, D, C, B7]
In the graveyard of forgotten love, [Em]
In the darkness, under the stars above, [D]
I lay down a single blackened rose, [C]
God only knows, God only knows. [B7]
(Chorus) [Am, C, G, D]
One last rose for our dying love, [Am]
Beneath the moonlight from above, [C]
In the silence, only whispers of the dove, [G]
One last rose, one last rose. [D]
(Verse 2) [Em, D, C, B7]
In the stillness, where our shadows dance, [Em]
In the echoes of our lost romance, [D]
I watch the petals fall in a deadly trance, [C]
In our last, our last chance. [B7]
(Chorus) [Am, C, G, D]
One last rose for our broken dreams, [Am]
Lost in the echoes of our screams, [C]
In the darkness, only silence it seems, [G]
One last rose, one last rose. [D]
(Bridge) [F, G, Am]
In the depth of night, beneath the star’s light, [F]
I lay down our love, lost in the fight. [G]
One last rose, one last rose, [Am]
In the silence, your memory still glows. [G]
(Chorus) [Am, C, G, D]
One last rose for our dying love, [Am]
Beneath the moonlight from above, [C]
In the silence, only whispers of the dove, [G]
One last rose, one last rose. [D]
(Outro) [Em, D, C, B7]
In the graveyard of our forgotten love, [Em]
Under the stars, in the heavens above, [D]
Lies one last rose, a symbol of our love. [C]
God only knows, God only knows. [B7]
