[Verse] Beneath the moon's cold silver gaze A whispered tune in graveside haze Shadows waltz in the midnight air A melody woven with despair [Chorus] Oh Death you sing so sweet and low A serenade we’ll all come to know Your arms unseen pull close and tight A lover’s hymn in the dead of night [Verse 2] The ivy crawls on ancient stone Each note a breath from the unknown The wind it hums a mournful cry A song that binds the low and high [Bridge] The stars they dim they bow they fade To Death's soft hymn in the night parade No escape from this quiet embrace A love eternal in its darkened grace [Chorus] Oh Death you sing so sweet and low A serenade we’ll all come to know Your arms unseen pull close and tight A lover’s hymn in the dead of night [Verse 3] The soil whispers secrets deep Of souls it cradles as they sleep Each step a dance toward the grave Caught in the spell of Death’s soft wave
