Love of the dead


A graceful swift of motion
Unseen by the eyes of mortals
Pale as the moonlight
He sat unmoving at his usual spot

The love of my life
Eyes a brilliant blue so deep
Where desire was masked so well
But I could feel his ache

Frozen at the expense of my presence
The love of my life
I know his hunger for deeper pleasure
And only I could satisfy

The dead who rules the night
The love of my life
Gazing deeply at me pleading
How can I resist his pull?

A simple trick to my mind
And he could drive me to the edge
Where I'd beg for more
But he's the love of my life

Four hundred years of politeness
Only for his lady, he shows respect
But his patience is limited
And he's the love of my life

I know all too well
The tunnel behind those blues
There's a longing hidden so well
Now, the time has come for the unsaid

"My lady, the time has now arrived.
Shall we proceed to what I'm here for?"
His eyes so lifeless staring coldly
And he's the love of my life

"Blood to blood, flesh to flesh.
For love, we shall bind for eternity."
Kneeling quietly at his side
Lips to lips and he drank

Tonight is the only night
Where we will take our vows
Guard it to our graves
And forever, we shall be bound

"Blood to blood, flesh to flesh."
