A Vampire’s Lullaby

Quiet yourself and rest now, my dear
I’ll make sure to chase away all of your fears
While you sleep here, safe in my arms

The night is young and I’m still awake
Gazing deeply at your beautiful, angelic face
As you sleep here, safe in my arms

I watch the moonlight glimmer of your skin
And watch the blood flow deep within
As you sleep here, safe in my arms

The taste of your kiss, the taste of your blood
Would make my heart beat if it could
The pleasure felt, the innocence taken
All of these feelings newly awakened

My fingers trace slowly along your veins
Only a thin layer away makes me go insane
As you lay here, safe in my arms

You turn over and bury your face in my chest
While I press my lips to you neck and give my fangs a test
As you lay here, safe in my arms

I pull you closer and hold you tight
While you finally relax form the last bite
As you lay here, safe in my arms

The taste of your kiss, the taste of your blood
Would make my heart beat if it could
The pleasure felt, the innocence taken
All of these feelings newly awakened
The stutter of a heart, the gasp for breath
Shall all but lead us to our deaths
The love growing, the feeling of uncertainty
We will be together for all of eternity

Thinking back to the nights we’ve spent before
I can tell how I’ve grown to love you more and more
As you dream here, safe in my arms

Dawn is quickly approaching and the night is almost gone
I’ll be leaving soon but tomorrow night I’ll be back along
As you dream here, safe in my arms.

And then I’ll sing you this, that is no lie
I’ll sing you this vampire’s lullaby
As you dream here, safe in my arms.
