Moonlight becomes you
In the witching hours we drain the blood
From the daylight life we live
Out of reach of the human touch
We cannot give.
Darkness enfolds you
In this long days journey into night
Ghostly hours slipping away
Words unspoken
Promises broken
Dreams never dreamt
Faithfulness becomes faithlessness spent
Indifference coursing through our veins unrepent
Bloodless bodies sleeping apart
Drives a stake right through the midnight of our heart
We gaze into the looking glass
But we are not there
Only empty rooms opening into empty rooms
Our disembodied shadows hanging
In the air.
Silence beholds you
We the living dead and buried
With our vows of life eternal, together forever, never shall we part
You must think of the children, they whisper
Live for the children
Live through the children
A shadow life of dreams lived within dreams
Until they are gone
And you wake up, strangers
In a desperate land
Living the nightmare you have come to embrace
But cannot hope to understand
Listening to the silence
The sound of one hand clapping
The silence of the damned.
