Death In My Arms

And death lay in my arms

As colors fade from gold to grayGray now broken my foolishness displayed

Hands tight around her throat, this violent loving embraceLying 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 endsI hear her whisper a sweet sound fanning the flames

These thoughts consume me and leave me wallowing
