Lyrics

I'm rotting inside
My flesh turns to dust
Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear
I'm so sick to death
Tumors in my head
Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear

Black rose of death 
In my fist I clutch
Thorns shred my fingertips 
It drips toxic blood

Kiss me one last time
Wash off my sweat
Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear
As my bones they rust
Read vows of trust
Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear

Black rose of death 
In my fist I clutch
Thorns shred my fingertips 
It drips toxic blood

I'm rotting inside
My flesh turns to dust
Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear
Kiss me one last time
Wash off my sweat
Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear

Whisper, "Are you dying?" in my ear
