A kiss before dawn

In a castle where the moonlight dies,

I saw forever burning in your eyes…

You said, “Don’t be afraid of me.”

But darling… I already belonged to thee.

You came from the shadows dressed in midnight,

Skin like winter underneath the moonlight,

A thousand years of blood upon your name,

But when you touched my hand, I felt no flame.

They told me monsters never learn to love,

That cursed hearts are abandoned from above,

But I heard your heartbeat buried beneath—

A lonely soul with immortal grief.

If loving you condemns my soul,

Then let the heavens lose control.

I’d rather fall into your night

Than live forever without your light.

Bite down, bite down—

Love me forever!

Bite down, bite down—

We’ll burn together!

No morning light,

No last goodbye,

Just you and me

Till the stars all die.

Bite down, bite down—

Love me forever!

If this is damnation,

Then damn me forever!

You showed me centuries inside your scars,

Every love you buried underneath the stars.

You said, “Everyone I love eventually dies…”

I touched your face and whispered, “Not this time.”

So take me where the morning never comes,

Where cathedral bells and blackened roses hum,

I’ll trade every sunrise I could ever see

For one endless midnight with you beside me.

My blood…

Your curse…

My breath…

Your thirst…

If eternity demands a sacrifice—

Take my life.

(Choir erupts)

SANGUIS! AMOR! AETERNUM!

Blood and love forever bound!

Bite down, bite down—

Love me forever!

Bite down, bite down—

We’ll burn together!

No morning light,

No last goodbye,

Just you and me

Till the stars all die.

Bite down, bite down—

Love me forever!

Through blood and fire,

We’ll rise together!

And when the final star

Falls out of sight—

You’ll still have me…

in the endless night.

No pulse…

No dawn…

No end…

Just you…

again…

and again…

and again.
