Words Are Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wanna buy you roses
'cause the words are dead
Follow in the blindness
On the arrow head
'cause the words are dead
And you know it
Yeah the words are dead
Lower them down
Didn't know if you could
Deny the dead
Leaving them in silence
On their mouldy bed
Oh I am numb
And over
Their kingdom come
Lower me down
They are dead, they are dead
Don't cry for me, don't cry for, don't cry for me
Lower them down in the ground
Lower them down in the ground
