And Death in My Arms

[solo: Martin] 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
