Roses That Sting

I don't hear anything
From the dead
Could their love be over?
Destroyed and done

Could they be cold
In their heart?
And rejecting
In their spirit

Why wailing over 
The outside world
When it's inside
That makes it bliss

Hail the youth
For their whorish love
They are not heavenly
Wedding material

But only roses that sting
For a short time
Before falling down 
Aged and worn out

I'm waiting for the sign
Of a new world to come
Not a dark illusion
Of everlasting life

Needle my coffin
Before it happens
And get in yours
Forever and ever
