Forever Grey

I cannot sleep alone again

For my fears are gaining

I hear a cry, it sounds so faint

But I know it won't be long

With her voice something old

Echoes through the evening

And all is still beside my heart

And all that's left is waiting

In the mist she sways

Forever pale, forever grey

My terror grows and I can't see

Through the fog so thick outside

I lay so still with eyes held wide

Counting minutes 'til the dawn

She peers inside, her laughter screams

As she scratches at the door

I lay so still with death in sight

As the rain begins to fall

In the mist she sways

Forever pale

Into the night she's calling

Forever, forever grey

And the thunder roars like hell

Through the world tonight

The one who should not be

Is closing in

And the door now opens wide

Her footsteps can be heard

The one who should not live

Is just outside
