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 thought 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
