The Protest - Throw the Roses lyrics

Embalm me and throw me in the fire Only ashes remain But my soul soars higher In this life I've led so far, It's sickening I need to die to myself, This is my reckoning The skies are turning black on me As I watch the colors fade away Throw the roses on my grave My life is Yours, So take it away! So close my casket And erase my mind And bury it so deep I won't come back to fight Like broken petals You come falling down to me The cards we're dealt is not how it has to be And I know life's a fragile thing But You can break mine The skies are turning black on me As I watch the colors fade away Throw the roses on my grave My life is Yours, so take it away! I'm so tired of being alone So draw near to me I've always been afraid of d**h But now I welcome You Welcome it openly! The skies are turning black on me As I watch the colors fade away The skies are turning black on me As I watch the colors fade away Throw the roses on my grave My life is Yours, so take it away! So take it away!
