Someone in the Shadows Part 2:

A Lifetime is Only So Long

Your hands wrapped around me

I traced your pale face

I know you won't leave me

You're my only safe place

But a lifetime is only so long

The hourglass of life soon becomes bare

All the grains of blood-stained sand

Who said life was fair?

As I fade into the shadows

A glance at your tear-stained face

I slowly slipped away from you

Into the shadow without a trace

Just know I'll always wait for you

Till you cross the other side

Where I'll feel your embrace once more

And always know you're mine
