| and death lay in my arms as colors fade
|
| from gold to gray
|
| gray now broken my foolishness displayed
|
| hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace
|
| lying restful safe in my arms
|
| steady rhythm trust she’ll come to no harm
|
| feel her tremble as the nightmare begins
|
| sleep the horror as the nightmare it ends
|
| I hear her whisper a sweet sound fanning the flames
|
| these thoughts consume me and leave me wallowing
|
| gray now broken my foolishness displayed
|
| hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace
|
| my fingers tremble her lips move silently
|
| one last i love you crush my resolve again |
