Ashes to dust, shadows and light
Something dark passed by my window last night
I heard a voice say, "You better beware"
I looked out the window and no one was there
And it passed and stole my sight
And it passed and shook my soul
And it passed and took my breath
And it passed, woe, death
I ran to the mirror and started to moan
The face that I saw there, it wasn't my own
The girl that I knew somehow was replaced
And looking at me was an old woman's face
And it passed and stole my sight
And it passed and shook my soul
It passed and took my breath
And it passed, woe, death
The winter, she comes with a sister named Grief
The hands of the clock are the hands of a thief
None can escape, there is no reprieve
So hold to your faith and try to believe
And it passed and took my breath
And it passed
