Well, from doing a google of "black rose symbolism" and "red sky" black roses are apparently symbolic of death, but also of the end of a long journey or a farewell.
Personally, I find to be the song about somebody who has died, and his/her reminiscence of his life and mortality from the afterlife.
When he refers to his "bed of black roses", he's referring to his grave, and him being beneath the ground. The reference to looking at the back of his eyelids supports this, as most people usually are buried with their eyes closed. His red sky hypnosis could be sunup or sundown, but he seems to be referring to sunup, stating that it's only his beginning, possibly meaning there's life after death.
when he says, "so you wanna believe all the things you've been told
and all the promises that you won't grow old" it could mean he's talking about mortality.
When he says, "in the life made up of strings being pulled by secret beings" he's talking about how people are merely puppets being jerked around by a higher power.
And when he says, "everyone still walks with fear in their lives past the place where these stars go to die" he's talking about everybody is afraid of death, and how people tries to ignore the death going on around them. I thought he meant stars like as in movie stars or something at first, and than it clicked.
