[Verse 1]
And death lay in my arms as colors fade
From gold to gray

[Refrain 1]
Gray now broken my foolishness displayed
Hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace

[Chorus]
Lying restful safe in my arms
Steady rhythm trust she'll come to no harm
Feel her tremble as the nightmares begin
Sleep the horror and the nightmare, it ends

[Verse 2]
I hear her whisper a sweet sound fanning the flames
These thoughts consume me and leave me wallowing

[Refrain 1]
Gray now broken my foolishness displayed
Hands tight around her throat this violent loving embrace

[Refrain 2]
My fingers tremble, her lips move silently
One last "I love you," crush my resolve again
[Chorus]
Lying restful safe in my arms
Steady rhythm trust she'll come to no harm
Feel her tremble as the nightmares begin
Sleep the horror and the nightmare, it ends

(Rock!)
