Darkness soft as velvet Darkness quiet as Death Darkness warm as flame I rest in its embrace

Gray as darkness meeting light Gray as dusk and dawn Gray the color of oblivion I can see but I can't reach

Light bright and shining Light glowing, flowing with life Light cold as ice I see it in Life's face

I lived in light clear and bright I walked through gray at life's twilight Now I feel darkness close around me And I rest in Death's embrace
