She has made her mind up She's made the final decision There's nothing for her No more doubt, no suspicion And all the candles are burning As she takes the gun On the path to eternity Where everyone travels alone And if I should die Bring me black roses And if I should die Bring me black roses This little room is everything This little room is the universe Where submissive creatures suffer and die Tonight the turn will be hers And all the candles are burning As she becomes one of them No more forbidden songs Now she needs a requiem And if I should die Bring me black roses And if I should die Bring me black roses Official statements are made Investigations carried out Reasons neatly discovered What it is all about We'll ban the records and tapes Instruments of corruption We'll save our healthy youth Music means self-destruction And if I should die Bring me black roses And if I should die Bring me black roses
