There in the heart-broken darkness,
Lies a tragically beautiful memory.
He hides from the ruthless day,
And all of its abusive cruelties.

Abandoned and shattered,
A shadow I've come to deeply love.
He swears to come from down below,
But I know he's been sent from high above.

'Sing', he tenderly whispers,
As his lips gradually part from mine…
For the desired blood, deep within,
Runs as red as wine…

A compelling, passionate romance
Between merciless life and enchanting death.
While my soul rapidly rushes from my veins,
I frantically struggle to save my last breath.

His eyes plead me to keep fighting,
But this battle seems already lost…
My determination to save his life, no matter what,
Has forsaken me at my greatest cost…

Lingering on that final moment,
When fears and desires must collide.
This forbidden act of giving him life,
Has left me cold and numb inside…

But I can’t blame him for his undertakings.
He can’t help his urges to consume.
But I won’t let him blame himself.
It was my choice to let him through.

He intensely embraces me close to his heart.
I can hear him crying, but I can’t say a thing.
So I reach up to softly hold his terrified hands,
And in this moment, I can hear him sing…

His gentle words become harmonic,
As he releases them from within.
He tells me how much he loves me,
And will hold me until the end.

I reach up to wipe away his weary tears,
To let him know of all I heard.
We gaze deeply into each other’s eyes
And speak of love, without a word…
