In the dark of the night,
under the full moon in flight,
I have hunt like a predator seeks prey.In the dark of the night,
when the innocent can't fight,
I will feed before the dawn creates day.So it's been,
so they say,
from the past till today
and I'm cursed by my dark crime
by that irony sublime,
forever and a day,
for there is no other way,
forever till the end of time.I had never known love,
that's a gift from above,
and not one that's been granted to me.I saw you while prowling,
and my cold heart was growling,
till soon you were all I could see.In my cold arms you cry,
and stare deep in my eyes
as everything soon goes amiss.I am unable to feed,
and I cannot not proceed
with that deadly and cold bloody kiss.So it's been,
so they say,
from the past till today
and I'm cursed by my dark crime
by that irony sublime,
forever and a day,
for there is no other way
forever till the end of time.You ran not in fear
though you knew death was near
and I saw forbidden love in your eyes.I held you in my arms
consumed by your charms
as light began to fill the dark skies.I could not take your life,
and released you in strife
from the grasp of hot hunger's bitter bliss.And so you would go
though my love would still grow
and I ached for that cold bloody kiss.So it's been,
so they say,
from the past till today
and I'm cursed by my dark crime
by that irony sublime,
forever and a day,
for there is no other way
forever till the end of time.
