Dead Roses

10-31-07

(Chorus)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

If God won’t take you, the Devil must.

Wither the rose, light the flames

A funeral for you love, because I’m still sane

(Verse 1)

Come back my darling, come back to me

If heaven’s Gates would open, I’d bring you home to see

All the things that have gone wrong to those dear to me

How long has it been since we have spoken?

It feels like an eternity’s past since I’ve broken.

Why did you leave us? Why did you have to go?

What’s it like up there past heavens door?

Is it everything you’ve been looking for?

I hope you’ll finally have rest in your soul

(Repeat chorus)

Six hundred sixty-six choices to make

Yet you chose the one that would make her break

You loved her, but you let your life go

Well let me tell you something honey-

I won’t let her follow you through heaven’s door

I want to talk with you, when my world is crumbling down

But you’re not there, so I’m left to cry without a sound

(Repeat Chorus)

Ashes to Ashes. Dust to Dust.

If God won’t take me, the Devil must.

Wither the rose and curse the flame.

A funeral for me love, for I’ve gone insane…
