The gray of life floats through the air.
Hoping to give grief and despair.
Counting the bodies of which it consumed.
The gray floats over and plains out your doom.
Freely he lets the darkness come over.
But hiding when you show a green clover.
The gray will not take you if you remain pure.
So stay away from the darkness' lure.

Don't fall victim to the darkness of the world...don't let it seep into your soul like so many other people...be the one that survives it.
