Love Song to a Vampire
Steve Hackett
You came to me at a dark hour in time
Your lips tasted so sublime
You drink in my hopes, my bleeding heart
You promised me a brand new start
You told me I wasn't born 'til we met
My life before a distant regret
You said that my friends were no good for me
You claimed only you could set me free
Each time you enslave me
To your deepest desire
Once again I sing a love song to a vampire
You demanded my undying devotion
Took over all my emotions
But you were away for many a night
Secretly living another life
I searched for a real love,
I ran away
And found a warm place to stay
But I heard your cries, your anger, your lies
A flash of your eyes pulled me back inside
Each time you enslave me
To your deepest desire
Once again I sing a love song to a vampire
Weaker and colder each time I retuned
Desperate to please I never learned
The door was unlocked but my heart was in jail
Caught in the web of your spell
I must finally stake my claim
Re-take my own life once again
Set me free, let me breathe
I'll shed the sunlight on your deceit
Each time you enslave me
To your deepest desire
Once again I sing a love song to a vampire
