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 sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs

Once I had the rarest rose
That ever came to bloom
Cruel world chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon
Oh ominence, oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine

Still falls the rain
Still falls the rain
Be mine forever

Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of Heaven's weighed
With stars of brightest 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
