And Death in My Arms

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 nightmares begin

Sleep the horror and 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

Lying restful safe in my arms

Steady rhythm trust she'll come to no harm

Feel her tremble as the nightmares begin

Sleep the horror and the nightmare, it ends
