The Shallow Rose of Decay

A bed in rose, is where I sleep

Forever quiet, never a peep

Underground, beneath your feet

A rose bed waits for us all one day

All lives end the very same way

The rich go happy, the poor beg for it to end quick

We all end up in a ditch

Than our hearts all stop

Rigamortis kicks in, after we bury our memories fade

All remains is bones and sickly smell of our decay

So until the day we meet again

In the rose bed, in your backyard,  buried deep

Using me as a consist heap, whilst I enjoy eternal sleep
