Accept This Rose

will you accept this rose, my dear?

I've been saving it for many a year

saved it for the one I can control,

you'll live forever, never grow old

never mind the blood on its petals

nor the chains of heavy metal

will you accept this ancient bloom

I raised it in my darkened tomb

take a sniff it smells like death

eternal life will bring you wealth

wealth and all you could desire

command the beasts and the fire

I will show you wonders, never seen

life and death and all states between

accept this rose, it waits for you

covered in droplets of bloody dew

if you decline, you will die anyway

so take my rose to live another day
