One sleeps The other cries One wakes The other dies One slumbers as a nervous moon weeps The pain slowly creeps and ebbs away One wakes at the rising sun Torment invades, inflicting anew Twenty fours black roses Hours of the thorn We laugh, stabbed by flower's scorn Pain inflicted, by day and by years He from a tormented hell, Me hanging from anxieties moon Scourge grabbing us by the throat Agony is a universal rickety boat Life is so beautiful For the very few We, of the other side All suffer along with you Hugging the pain Limping in the rain Letters and words they soothe The aches they never fully lose Twenty four poisonous roses Thorns inflicting horrendous terror Never ending story We eat our destiny, and retain no glory
