Here we are
Standing still in time
Black forest spreading
All around our eyes
Look deep inside yourself
Our love will guide us through
So hold me through this dark hour
This moment won't last forever
So hold me close for now
I'm breathing in the sweet
Essence of your life
Hold me closer, love
Until the end comes
Keep me from falling in the dark
So here we are again
A murder spelling out our lives
Crimson blood
Dripping from the sky
Your arms are still around me
Sheltering me from the storm
This moment won't last forever
So hold me close for now
I'm breathing in the sweet
Essence of your life
Hold me closer, love
Until the end comes
Keep me from falling in the dark
Carry me through this hell
To the end of life
I'd have you by my side
For the rest of time
It's not long,
But it'll have to do
You are the life that keeps
Me going through the night
This moment won't last forever
So hold me close for now
I'm breathing in the sweet
Essence of your life
Hold me closer, love
Until the end comes
Keep me from falling in the dark
This moment won't last forever
So hold me close for now
I'm breathing in the sweet
Essence of your life
Hold me closer, love
The end has come
Help lead me out of the dark

Thank you
I just kind of wrote it..but thanx for the comment! -
I really like this. It is pretty close to what I was looking for. I would like to see 'through' not used twice in the first chorus by judging. I like the 'hold me closer, love', these could really be sung so strongly.
Really, very good!
