Love Song to a Vampire - Steve Hackett

You came to me at a dark hour in time

Your lips tasted so sublime

You drank in my hopes, my bleeding heart

You promised me a brand new start

You told me I wasn’t born till we met

A life before a distant regret

You said that my friends were no good for me

And claimed only you could set me free

Each time you enslave me to your deepest desire

Once again I sing a love song to a vampire

You demanded my undying devotion

Took over all my emotions

But you were away for many a night

Secretly living another life

I searched for a new love, I ran away

And found a warm place to stay

But I heard your cries, your anger, your lies

A flash of your eyes brought me back inside

Each time you enslave me to your deepest desire

Once again I sing a love song to a vampire

Weaker and colder each time I returned

Desperate to please, I never learned

The door was unlocked, but my heart was in jail

Caught in the web of your spell

I must now finally stake my claim

Retake my own life once again

Set me free, let me breathe

I’ll shed the sunlight on your deceit

Each time you enslave me to your deepest desire

Once again I sing a love song to a vampire
