Lyrics:

"A Rose A Door"
by Professor Plague, arr. By D. M. Blackthorn

It's a secret that outshines the day
Only when you're close do you notice anything
If you want me to show you the door
Take a piece of chalk draw a square in the floor
& when it opens, you'll see me no more
Another world awaits you, maybe it's better

Your sacred symbols have all turned to lead
They won't help you swim in the grey between
But if you're seeking monsters to slay
You're sure to find some that won't run away

Step through & shield your eyes from the day
A world very different & the stars turn all wrong

The space between worlds is thin
Grin while you can; all you bring is your skin
What protection can you offer me
From things that only hunger and creep through the caves?

Step through & shield your eyes from the day
A world very different & the stars burn all wrong

And if you ever see the Rose
I don't suppose you could ever look away

(Repeat 1st verse)
