Shades Of Grief

Shades of Grief Death comes as a thief or a friend, A fiend or an angel All deaths are unique All mourning's unique This isn't happening, this can't be happening, Ah, but it is, unstoppable as snow Nothing buffers the shock of death Nothing blocks the horrid facts No-one's ever ready to bury a loved one To sever the ties that bind Recriminations multiply in the dark Fester in raw wounds of desolation Nobody walks the self-same road of grief The bitter cup of sorrow, guilt and loss Must be drunk to the lees All flesh must fade. A path we all must cross.
