Creature of the Night

Come, drink
Come, drink my body
Come, join me in eternal life

Come, taste
Taste my night's darkness
That slumbers in the songs you write

How do I know you
Mystery of midnight
Gentle your tune
Familiar as the moon

Ah, don't I know you
Lord of Black Roses
Your touch of thorns adorns
Am I reborn

I've sailed
I've sailed the oceans of time
I've defied God Himself

For you
All for you, Mina
I lost control and found my Hell

Ah, how I know you
Sweet prince of darkness
In dreams I can't place
I'm haunted by your face

Ah, how I know you
My shadow clothing
Through all my lives
It's been you by my side

But, oh, should we think twice
Shall I enslave you to the night
No, this can't be right
To take from you your only light

My love, should we think twice
Shall I condemn you to my side
No, this can't be right

For you'd walk in the dark
You'd lurk lost with a mark
Mark of the damned
Exiled out of God's hand
And though your wings would shield you
And wield food to feed
Your mind will want more
Than what your body needs

So will you still drink my body
Will you still choose eternal life
My bride, though we'd be together
Forever's never enough time
I want to be you
You're a fallen angel
I'll dance with wolves white
And howl in the moonlight
I will become you
You're a creature of the night
I'll take my last breath
Take me away from death
