Kiss of Death

My guess is that it was the kiss
That brought about your fever
Your body's too good to exist
So I stepped in to deliver
The human heart is so fragile
Yeah, every beat needs a rest
Last thing that they want to say now
Is that they love you to death

They told your mother calm down
Your baby girl's alright
No, no one's gonna die...
Hah

I've waited for you far a thousand years
But you're scared to lay by my side
Only after you've cried ten thousand tears
Could you know what this feels like

I bit my tongue so hard it bled
Too tricky to keep quiet
I'll let you speak for me instead
Their tears can hardly deny it
I think that black is your color
So why not wear it to bed
If you follow me through the tunnel
I'll send you back for your friends

Still I hear them saying calm down
I'm sure she'll be alright
She's far too young to die...
Hey

I've waited for you for a thousand years
But you're scared to lay by my side
Only after you've cried ten thousand tears
Could you know what this feels like
I've never had to work so hard before
I swear to God you'll be mine
Now what on earth could you be living for
Follow me into the light

I'll take you without pain
I bet they'll make you a saint, yeah
It happens all the same, no escaping
How would you rather
How would you rather go

But you're scared to lay by my side
Only after you've cried ten thousand tears
Could you know what this feels like
I've never had to work this hard before
I swear to god you'll be mine
Now what on earth are you still living for
Follow me into the light
