The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Sitting on the rocks
By the riverside
Mud on our shoes and socks
From the arduous ride
In the shadow of the ancient bridge
We watch the sky ablaze
As the sun breaks the ridge
It dances on the river’s broken glaze
Horses roam the field nigh
Watching you in that virgin light
And your hair tousled in a wind’s sigh
I knew it would be all right
This spring

Staring up at a clear night sky
The air was warm and heavy
As a shooting star passes by
Holding hands not sure if we’re ready
It’s been so long and so much
But still the grass feels cool
And I still need your touch
Does that just make me a fool?
Fireflies blinking true
Watching you in that pale light
There’s nothing I’d rather do
I knew it would be all right
This summer

The fear of this feeling, and what means
Paralyzes my lungs, steals the breath from my chest
At yet this kiss lingers on my lips
Like poison, venom coursing through my veins
Always brings the sweetest pain

And you…
You haven’t a clue
This is what you do
With a smile on your face
Clawing at the surface
Until it breaks

We were never innocent
Children of the darkest places
In this world they know our faces
And yet stand in fear
Remnants of what they still hold dear
We wipe away the rose colored hue
Breaking what once was perfect
But there is beauty in our defect…

No matter how different, we are the same
And the honesty of that, is empowering
That pride I once held on to
No longer serves me
This venom of yours was humbling
But no with no armor, I’m trembling

And you…
You haven’t a clue
This is what you do
With a smile on your face
Clawing at the surface
Until it breaks
I’ll keep standing, no matter what it takes

We were never innocent
Children of the darkest places
In this world they know our faces
And yet stand in fear
Remnants of what they still hold dear
We wipe away the rose colored hue
Breaking what once was perfect
But there is beauty in our defect…

You could never know
You melted, a piece of yourself
And filled in these cracks
These cracks you didn’t make
But fully exposed
And now, I’m stronger than I ever, was alone
Crawling under my skin
Fixing me from within
Then lingering with your venom
Silently, inside though predator is gone
Your legacy lingers on

And you…
You haven’t a clue
This is what you do
With a smile on your face
Clawing at the surface
Until it breaks
I’ll keep standing, no matter what it takes
You saw beauty in something so broken
And I will never forget I was chosen

We were never innocent
Children of the darkest places
In this world they know our faces
And yet stand in fear
Remnants of what they still hold dear
We wipe away the rose colored hue
Breaking what once was perfect
But there is beauty in our defect…

There is beauty in our defect

There is beauty in our defect…

Oh, glorious sun in the sky
Why do you feel you must hide?
Without your wonderful light
The world shall surely die out
We shall dance and sing your praise
Please hear our celebration/ Our quiet desperation

Radiant sun in the sky
Bless this weary soul of mine
To bask in your brilliant light
And I shall become the moon
Dancing with you in the sky
For all of eternity
And pretend I am worthy
To be your pale reflection

The sun which illuminates
Even the murk-filled corners
Of the dark and lonely world
That which ends the endless night
I cannot sustain a single
Life that you find so precious
I lack the strength you possess

Radiant sun in the sky
Bless this weary soul of mine
To bask in your brilliant light
And I shall become the moon
Dancing with you in the sky
For all of eternity
And pretend I am worthy
To be your pale reflection

Only you, oh sun of mine
Could save me from this darkness
With your warm and gentle embraces
You give your light to this moon
Moon so wholly unworthy
To dance under the same stars
To pray under the same sky

Radiant sun in the sky
Bless this weary soul of mine
To bask in your brilliant light
And I shall become the moon
Dancing with you in the sky
For all of eternity
And pretend I am worthy
To be your pale reflection

Lurking in the dark
Where no one knows my name
In the moon’s stark
Reflection on the train
It’s time to embark
For a new prey to tame

Am I the hunter?
Or the one being hunted?
Can’t deny this hunger
This desire can’t be blunted

This is the eternal dance
The midnight waltz
We both go through the motions
But you never stood a chance
Trapped in the midnight waltz
Lost in your emotions
Give in to me
In to this midnight waltz
And it all fades away
I’ll set you free
With this midnight waltz
Don’t wait until day

Take my hand, don’t be afraid
Join me in this escapade
I promise you no harm
No need for such alarm
I’m not the evil beast
Not for now, at least

I’ll be gone with the sun
But I’ll remember your name
When your waking comes
I hope you can do that same

This is the eternal dance
The midnight waltz
We both go through the motions
But you never stood a chance
Trapped in the midnight waltz
Lost in your emotions
Give in to me
In to this midnight waltz
And it all fades away
I’ll set you free
With this midnight waltz
Don’t wait until day

With kind eyes and gentle hearts
We’ll slowly fall apart
We are not the labels
Or all the strings and cables
That pull us around
Or strand us on the ground

In my eyes, in this moment
You are beautiful
In my eyes, in this moment
You are singular

This is the eternal dance
The midnight waltz
We both go through the motions
But you never stood a chance
Trapped in the midnight waltz
Lost in your emotions
Give in to me
In to this midnight waltz
And it all fades away
I’ll set you free
With this midnight waltz
Don’t wait until day
