A Million Roses
The funeral procession is marching down
Take a second,
Look around
And what do you see?
And what do you dream?
~A Million Roses~
A million roses
Fall from the sky
As you watch
Loved ones die
A million roses
Lay at your feet
They raise black heads,
Their victory, your defeat
The funeral procession is marching down
Take a second,
Look around
And what do you see?
And what do you dream?
~A Million Roses~
In a million roses
Stained blood red
Lies your corpse
No eyes, no head
A million roses
Cold and dead
Make the pillow
On your bed
The funeral procession is marching down
Take a second,
Look around
And what do you see?
And what do you dream?
~A Million Roses~
A million roses
velvet soft, satin smooth
they bloom rivers
--Full of blood
And blossom storms
--Raining mud
The funeral procession is marching down
Take a second,
Look around
And what do you see?
And what do you dream?
~A Million Roses~
A Million Roses
With dagger thorns
And petal knives
You see them
Ending lives
