Life is slowly escaping as
The cold days begin to long
There is no more safety between these walls
Day after day Night after night
The world becomes oblivion to the sight
Of any light.

But

Life may be escaping
As the cold days begin to long
There may be no safety between the walls
Day after day Night after night the world may become oblivion
To the sight of any light.

Yet one must never forget that even in the darkest of times with
The littlest of faith
Even the smallest speck of light
Can save the dead rose
