C#m      Amaj7
Turn the key
C#m        Amaj7
And step into the blackness
C#m        Amaj7
Lamplight falls
C#m          Amaj7
And casts a laughing phantom

I imagine your smile
And the life that we could share
But with the last of my steps
I see the truth lying there

Chorus:
     F#m  B
Dead roses
                    E       G#7
At the bottom of an oubliette
                             C#m          Amaj7
Where they beat you 'til you begged to live
                          B          E
You are mine and you were always mine
                    F#m       B
Now I'm crying over dead roses
                        E G#7
I could never let them go

A winged beast
With horns upon his cranium
Slinks away
And grinning, makes his way up

I grasp the pieces of rose
And your raven locks of hair
I hear the turn of the key
As I hiss my final prayer

Chorus
