Embrace

Embrace me my sweet
for the dark is near.

Embrace me my sweet
for you should not fear.

Embrace the dark shadows
that dance in the night.

Embrace me my love
for they cause me no fright.

Embrace me my love
for you should not sigh;
because these are my friends
and this must be goodbye.

Embrace me one last time
and give me a kiss.

Do not cry for my soul
I'm not doomed to hell.

I simply must finish
what I started to tell.

Someday you will know what
the embrace meant to me and set
down your own path on the same journey.
