Darkness falls in shades of gray br Where sunlight once did shine, br Shadows gather deepening br Thoughts that once were mine; br Silence echoes all around br In loud and piercing pall br Lifeblood throbbing only sound br Within these darkened walls; br Slowly ebbing, br Slowly ebbing, br Emptiness is all surrounding br All consuming every breath br Void of color, only darkness br Velvet darkness touching death; br Peaceful quiet, peaceful nothing br No more thoughts forevermore br End is nearing, spirit clearing br Pathway leads to heaven's door - br Slowly ebbing, br Slowly ebbing, br Slowly ebbing br Nothing more.
