Lyrics
I arrived in town a week ago
With a stone around my neck
And the girls lay roses down
Pretty girls lay roses down
I arrived in town a week ago
With a beast upon my tracks
And he wore an iron crown
And he wore an iron crown
All my friends are fast asleep
Dead to dreams as they promised not to be
Don't tell me how it ends, I think I know
They're out for blood and here I am alone
Fast asleep inside the garden
All my hope has taken wing
As I sing the song I don't want to sing
As I sing the song I don't want to sing
All my friends, they seem so weak
Teeth stained red from the wine they had to drink
Don't tell me how it ends it's plain to see
For anyone who's read their history
How I'd love to leave the garden
But my heart is on a string
As I sing the song I don't want to sing
And the roses that they threw
Upon my feet are withering
As I sing the song
As i sing the song
As I sing the song
As I sing the song
As I sing the song
I don't want to sing
Would you learn it, learn it for me
