Once I called you mine and loved you blindly
I sweetly sang to you in your loneliest hours
And my words were made alive because of you
Yet now, I only feel the blood flowing out of me
Since you've chosen a path where I refuse to follow
May this choice you've made not lead you to unhappiness
But I am aware I must not hold on to you
Nor even wait if ever for your return
Because from where you are headed,
There is no turning back...
Although there are tears streaming down my cheeks,
I will cut loose these binds that hold us together
For they are dreadfully meaningless now
It is time that I take my own path and walk away from you
I don't know where this will lead me as of now
But I'm sure it will be much better
Than staying at this damned crossroads doing nothing
You have made your decision... and I too have made mine...
So with this fresh deep wound within my heart
We sign this separation with dark blood... my blood
Starting from this day... this hour... this moment...
You will never have power over me.
I stand before you now, black and blue
With my eyes pleading despite the streaming tears
For all I want is to be lost in this moment
So that the chaos and the confusion will disappear
Even if for this minute only
Too long have I tossed and turned in bed
Awaiting for a chance to be rid of this burden
Touch me and let us find release from this world
Make me believe in your caress so tender
Let me be lost in the depths of your eyes
Till I find my place and never leave
I will be yours for the taking
And you will be mine for the asking...
Come to me once more while I silently lie here in the dark
Touch my face as I'd slumber the hushed night away
Let your soft caress lull me into dreams so sweet
Make me remember through your passionate kiss
Just how wonderful love can be in your strong arms
My body has grown uncomfortably cold in your absence
Bring me back to the woman I once was
Fear not the beast within me for she means you no harm
Not unless you wish to destroy her...
Take me as I am, both creature and being
Love me as I love you so blindly for everything
My beloved, will you hear out my cries in the shadows?
There is no death for me but there is immortal torment
Can you soothe my sorrow if I promise to stay?
Will you undo this curse that has befallen upon your lady?
Or at least, would you be by my side forever
To share all things that give both pain and pleasure
To us creatures of the night?
Alabaster skin... deep set eyes
Long ebony hair... pallid face
She walks along silent roads minding no one
Yet sees every soul that passes by
Cloaked in darkness and enveloped in shadows
She is frightening beautiful to behold
Her lips promise heaven without even uttering a word
Yet her power lies not in beauty alone
For when the moon rides high in all his splendor
Her haunting voice echoes in the twilight
She sings of love, and lust, and life
And then lures her willing prey into the night
She kills mercilessly without a thought
She drinks her fill and still she dares
To glance upon his naked dying flesh
"He's not the one who's meant for me..."
So she roams the city streets once more again
Lost but seeking; confused yet certain
Death is but a gift to give...
Life is but a boon to take...
Time is but a thing to waste...
To taste her kiss is blissful drug
To lust for her is madness beyond reality
To love her is beyond all reason to live
For Death has chosen to be her groom
Yet would you dare to steal her away?
Would you be strong enough to withstand her thirst?
To possess her being, her body, mind and unbeating heart?
For if you do, this warning I give
Dare not try to tempt your fate in her arms
Less you not live to see the light of day
For she destroys without a care
Those who are not worthy with her life to share...
For eternity is her love's command
And she won't surrender it till you're also damned.
As I stand this moonlit evening inside my abode to open the door
I know what exactly the reason you came here for...
The candles in the den... the fireplace that glows...
The haunting music...
The cool night breeze that flows through an open window
I see you standing in front of me now
Your eyes still seeking answers that look into mine for comfort
Let me guide you into my world...
To find solace from this dysfunctional reality that we call life
I touch your pallid face and sense your loneliness
Come inside my home and I shall remove all the pain
Hear my melody to soothe the beast that rages within
Lie down beside me to know what peace means in my embrace
I will show you many thing you never even believed to exist
But you must promise to give me your soul...
Only then can I reveal to you my realm of darkness and calm.
I hide in the shadows, bewitched by seeing you again
The way your hair falls across your face
The way your eyes speak a thousand words with their silence
It has been a long time since I last knew of your kiss
And it has been too long since I felt alive in your embrace
The women flock to your side, enchanted by you
And I cry in the darkness, my eyes filled with jealousy
My heart filled with loneliness
As you bring one of them to your home,
I follow you both... making sure you see me not
I stop and gaze at the flickering images in your window
Hushed sighs and whispered passions fill my ears
As I try my best to control the fury of the beast within
She leaves abruptly soon after a while
And only when you have fallen asleep
Do I enter your silent abode.
I stare at you dreaming away the twilight
Your flesh still flushed from making love with her
My heart may have died but my love still burns
Like a forest fire that engulfs even my soul
And now that I realize I cannot have you
It tortures my mind to the brink of insanity
My hunger to feed grows as I come nearer
Yet I only end up kissing your soft lips
Being careful not to awaken your slumbering form
This is bringing me much too much pain
And I must now find release from this thirst
Before I lose myself entirely and unknowingly destroy you
As I leave you tonight, I leave behind my heart
It is quite dead now... battered and bruised...
But it is all yours now and forever.
It is time for you to forget the Vampiress you knew
And realize I am no more
But a horrifyingly enigmatic creature of the night.
In the darkness, I will bind you as one with my soul
In the shadows, I will make your heart whole
In uncertainty, let me be the only one you know
In chaos and confusion, the right path I will show
Kindered spirits, probing minds
Both with pasts that leave much to be left behind
Yearning arms, passionate kiss
Knowing only that intimate touch can cause such bliss
The spark now aflame.. the fire now burns
As for one another, we both will yearn
Yet time and space seems to go to a halt
Our souls are ripe but fate in now at fault
Almost touching.. almost there
Knowing there is so much for us to share
Almost knowing.. almost sure
How long can this aching within endure?
Now as I end this spell with a tear from my eye
You will never know this love as a lie
For you are now bound to me as I am to you
Forever in this circle... forever to be true.
Now painful realization sets in as light faintly flickers
And your false words are like bitterness in my tears
For what truth is there now in the love you offer
When all has been tainted with my own blood?
Must I forsake this blindness
Now that I have come to find deceit in your whispers?
My mind begins to churn in resentment
While my heart is standing on the borders
Of true love and clear hate...
Why must you do this to me?
I have tried to keep you from my deadly nature
Yet it seems you mockingly provoke it
Do you really wish to die in my arms?
Do you really want to know death in my kiss?
Do not dare to push further
Do not tempt me to unleash the beast within
Less you taste unbridled fury
And be forever bound and broken under my spell
My face will haunt you even in sleep
My voice will fill even the air you breathe
And you will crave immortally for my caress
Turn away from your naive ways of mischief
Less I turn into the creature you dread most.
They say Death comes on swift wings through her frail hands
Her enigmatic smile invites you to come closer
Her sensual voice croons you to adore her...
To care for her...
To love her.
Her hypnotizing eyes invite you to hold her close
But once you dare enter her sacred space
There is no turning back for you.
Once her hungry lips touches your awaiting lips
And her long scarlet nails caress your thighs
You would beg rather for blessed death
Than to let her stop her sweet torture
Her rhythmic movements will send you
Into deep dark oblivion
That will only make you crave for more
Again and again and again...
That is when truth becomes too vivid
For you to stare directly in the face
And you'll be lost in her shadowy Eden completely
As I have said, Death comes upon swift wings.
For in my nakedness, I feel your strong arms wrapped around me
The cold bitter rain that falls upon us show no mercy
Yet there in your embrace lies my true home
You shield away the hurt... the pain... the loneliness
And wipe away the blood... the tears... the memories of wandering
I know there is nothing to fear when you hold me
As we'd soar the skies, I feel such heaven being with you
Even if the darkness would take us both now
It would never matter as long as you are by my side
All that is real becomes truth in your eyes
And the dreams we weave become vivid with your tender touch
Your kisses burn like fever upon my hungry lips
And loving words drip like honey for us to savor
Nothing will ever harm us...
Nothing will ever shake us...
Nothing will ever tear us apart.
