Roses Fall
Beautiful yellow roses fall from hand
Precisely in the moment of a nuclear explosion
Pretty mushroom clouds love to spread destruction
The ash pretends to be volcanic in its action
Lovely flowers turn in an instant to the void
Think bad thoughts of asteroid collisions on the Earth
So do buildings and occupants of houses
Power works that way on innocence these days
Was it a volcano or bomb or outer space invasion
Somehow it does not matter to the pretty flower
Roses once stood for friendship
Once upon a time with motivation
Before explosions took their love away
When things got out of hand
