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 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
