ol  
Out therebr  
Past the rose gardenbr  
Past the wall where the shadows dancebr  
The old hall liesbrbr  
  
At the top floor the coffins liebr  
A hundred sleeping boysbr  
Who never wakebr  
But line up their shoes in a rowbr  
Like the good little students they arebrbr  
  
And the dead butterfly in its casebr  
Returns to it's chrysalisbr  
To save itselfbr  
From the inferno that lies behind the wallbrbr  
  
Black roses, dripping dewdropsbr  
Into the false pondbr  
As the chocolate skinned boy watchesbr  
And pricks his finger on a thornbr  
So his master might drinkbrbr  
  
But these are but illusionsbr  
Old photographs on the ancient deskbr  
Inside the old hallbr  
Where the end of the world liesbrbr
