Wrapped In Roses lyrics

Adaptation based upon "Le Testament XXII, XXIII, XXIV" and "La Ballade des Pendus" by François Villon (1431-1463). I mourn the time of my early youth Time of binging and indulgence Old age obstructing my path Finally taking my will Despair, gone is my time Downcast, darker than death Birth ! A rose woven Wreath ! Entwines my cot Death ! A rose woven Wreath ! Around my corpse Where are those I followed years ago ? Good friends I used to have Dropped dead, gone with the wind May god save those still alive Despair, gone is my time Downcast, darker than death Birth ! A rose woven Wreath ! Entwines my cot Death ! A rose woven Wreath ! Around my corpse Human brothers surviving us Don't resent our offenses If you remember us with compassion God will bless you all Birth ! A rose woven Wreath ! Entwines my cot Death ! A rose woven Wreath ! Around my corpse
