LET ME DIE FOR YOU
Please just stay with me
Flying on cold wings of death
And share with me
The blood of memory
Keep me inside
Your blackened heart
Those oceans of blood
Can’t keep us apart
Centuries stained with crimson tears
Drink from those scarlet cascades
Feed on me, take everything, my dear
Do you still remember
Our first kiss
On the streets of Pompeii?
Let me die for you
If I fade away
Like ash on the winter breeze
In grips of day
Our love withstands the grave
You can find me
Within your heart
Withered and undead
Can’t keep us apart
Memories shine with the doom of dawn
Sip from those scarlet cascades
Travesties tattooed onto pale pawns
Do you still remember
Our first kiss
On the streets of Pompeii?
Let me die for you
Once again
I suffer the torture of oblivion
Every night beneath burning torches
No rest for the wicked tried and cruel
But the pain is void as long as I’m with you
You can find me
Within your heart
Withered and undead
Can’t keep us apart
Memories shine with the doom of dawn
Sip from those scarlet cascades
Travesties tattooed onto pale pawns
Do you still remember
Our first kiss
On the streets of Pompeii?
Let me die for you
Keep me inside
Your blackened heart
Those oceans of blood
Can’t keep us apart
Centuries stained with crimson tears
Drink from those scarlet cascades
Feed on me, take everything, my dear
Do you still remember
Our first kiss
On the streets of Pompeii?
Let me die for you
Once again
Flying on cold wings of death
And share with me
The blood of memory
Keep me inside
Your blackened heart
Those oceans of blood
Can’t keep us apart
Centuries stained with crimson tears
Drink from those scarlet cascades
Feed on me, take everything, my dear
Do you still remember
Our first kiss
On the streets of Pompeii?
Let me die for you
If I fade away
Like ash on the winter breeze
In grips of day
Our love withstands the grave
You can find me
Within your heart
Withered and undead
Can’t keep us apart
Memories shine with the doom of dawn
Sip from those scarlet cascades
Travesties tattooed onto pale pawns
