I have no right to love you,
I have no right to hold you next to me in this bed,
I know in my soul I should bid you good-bye,
For only then can we stop living this lie.
We come from two separate lands so very far apart,
For you are a being of the day,
And I a creature of the night.
We cross paths only in the hours after twilight.
I'm forbidden in your world,
Let go as only a myth,
You are the hunted in my land,
And loving you is like the lion who loved the lamb.
My hunger grows deep and strong,
I cannot hold back, I feast upon your neck.
From your eyes the tears flood,
I taste only your sweet blood.
Your dying heart speaks to me-
"Why must it be this way?"
"Why must we love then die?"
Long into the night I bid you good-bye.
I had no right to love you,
And loving me just cost you your life,
For you must remember, I am a vampire, born to hunt my prey.
And you- now you're just a bloodstain upon the sheets where I lay.
