Love Song For A Vampire

Come into these arms again
and lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
is beating like a drum
It beats for you it bleeds for you
it knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
it is the song of songs

Once I had the rarest rose
that ever deemed to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
and stole my flower too soon
Oh loneliness Oh hopelessness
to search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
no greater love than mine

Love oh love oh ... still falls the rain
Love oh love oh ... still falls the night
Love oh love oh ... be mine forever

Let me be the only one
to keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven is laid
the stars are bright as gold
They shine for you they shine for you
they burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
and set this spirit free

-AL







But who will care for me my love,
my dark angel, when you are gone?
You have watched me from the eldest
days, when the moon itself was young.
You have raised me as my father,
mother, lover through these centuries,
through our fall from grace.

And now your broken heart
reflects the spirit of a bygone age,
and I am left to live in suffering
as if you had already gone.
Kiss me once more, so I
can taste your sweet lips and hold
that lavish memory inside me
for eternity.

You will fade away
and I will grow tired of immortality,
tired of watching all I love
rot and come to nothing.
I will remember you, my love,
until the very end of days.
