Love for a Vampire


I know you're only bleeding me
As you draw me near

And soon you will be leaving me
Is love so bound to fear

Sobered cold from fantasy
That I'm the only one

Drinking to insanity
Oh look what you have done

So let me be
Your casualty
Let me belong to you

Like aching thirst
Beloved cursed
A love to fall into

Slowly still my beating heart
The frozen song on fire
Dancing in defeating dark
Is love for a vampire

Step outside of time for good
Beneath the endless depth

All the pain that I've withstood
Laid down in graveless death

Oh can you hear the hymn of souls
It cannot now tempt me

To any heaven lain with gold
For you've made me empty

Dark ballads end
Then play again
From me the love I spill

So cold and scared
Bloodless despair
The life I've let you kill

Slowly still my beating heart
The frozen song on fire
Dancing in defeating dark
Is love for a vampire

How easy to lose me
How easy to forget
When you can't love
Oh you can't love
You haven't found me yet

Let me know what "always" is
And follow where you lead
The dove of hope small as it is
Cries softly as it bleeds

Slowly still my beating heart
The frozen song on fire
Dancing in defeating dark
Is love for a vampire...

Is love for a vampire...

Is love for a vampire...
