Death's Cold Embrace

(Verse 1) The clock ticks slow, a funeral march, each second a heavy beat The world outside is bathed in sun, but here, in the shadows, I retreat The scent of lilies, a bitter perfume, a shroud of white and grey A final goodbye, a whispered name, that fades with each passing day. (Chorus) Death, a cold embrace, a darkness that never ends It whispers promises of peace, but steals away our friends Leaving behind a hollow ache, a silence loud and deep The weight of loss, a heavy stone, that only tears can keep. (Verse 2) Their laughter echoes in my mind, a phantom in the hall A memory of warmth and light, now trapped in a fading thrall The empty chair, the silent room, a canvas painted with grief Every corner filled with ghosts, of promises, of fleeting belief. (Chorus) Death, a cold embrace, a darkness that never ends It whispers promises of peace, but steals away our friends Leaving behind a hollow ache, a silence loud and deep The weight of loss, a heavy stone, that only tears can keep. (Bridge) The sun sets low, a final sigh, a promise of a new dawn But the darkness lingers, a constant reminder, that someone is gone Their absence a gaping hole, in the fabric of my soul A wound that never heals, a story left untold. (Chorus) Death, a cold embrace, a darkness that never ends It whispers promises of peace, but steals away our friends Leaving behind a hollow ache, a silence loud and deep The weight of loss, a heavy stone, that only tears can keep. (Outro) So I'll carry on, with a heart of stone, forever marked by their demise A shadow of the person I was, with tears that never dry. [end]
