A vampire's kiss

[Verse 1] I am the shadow, I am the night I am the echo of forgotten light Through centuries I've walked alone In marble halls of silent stone My heart is cold, my veins are dry I watch the mortal world go by [Chorus] I am the shadow, I am the night I am the eternal, starless flight A vampire's kiss, a whispered name I burn in moonlight, never flame I am the darkness, I am the dread The living hunger of the dead [Verse 2] I've tasted wine in kings' domains And wept through endless, bloodless rains I've seen empires turn to dust While I remain in cursed trust Your pulse is music to my ear A symphony I crave to hear [Chorus] I am the shadow, I am the night I am the eternal, starless flight A vampire's kiss, a whispered name I burn in moonlight, never flame I am the darkness, I am the dread The living hunger of the dead [Bridge] But in the quiet of the dawn I feel the weight of what I've drawn A soul that's tethered to the grave Yet still I hunger, still I crave No dawn will ever set me free I am what I was meant to be [Chorus] I am the shadow, I am the night I am the eternal, starless flight A vampire's kiss, a whispered name I burn in moonlight, never flame I am the darkness, I am the dread The living hunger of the dead [Outro] I am the shadow, I am the night I am forever... out of sight
