Songs for a Vampyr

Songs for a Vampyr

The Music of the Night
from: The Phantom of the Opera

"Night time sharpens
heightens each sensation...
Darkness wakes and stirs imagination
Silently the senses
abandon their defences
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night...

Slowly, gently
night unfurls its splendour.
Grasp it, sense it-
tremulous and tender
Hearing is believing
music is deceiving
Hard as lightning soft as candlelight
dare you trust
the music of the night...

Close your eyes for your eyes will only tell the truth
And the truth isn't what you want to see.
In the dark it is easy to pretend
that the truth
is what it ought to be.

Softly, deftly
music shall caress you...
Hear it, fell it
secretly possess you...

Open up your mind
let your fantasies unwind
in this darkness which
you know you cannot fight-
the darkness of the music of the night...

Close you eyes and let music set you free...
Only then
can you belong to me...

Floating, falling
sweet intoxication!
Touch me, trust me
savour each sensation...

Let the dream begin
let your darker side give in
to the power of the music of the night..."


Angel
Lost in Twilight

I'm lying in a pool of tears
My tears that turned to blood
Wishing that you were here,
As I'm abandoned by God.

Hear my weakening cries
As I'm rolling here in pain
Please come see me one more time
Or we might never meet again

Please, come let me gaze
Into your eyes that heal.
Come take away this pain I fell.
Please, comfort me
With your peaceful smile
Come sit with me for awhile.

Angel, my gaurdian angel
Descend to me from the pale gray sky
Angel, my sweet little angel
Come to me before I die,
Come say good-bye.


Love Song For A Vampire
Annie Lennox

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum

It beats for you - It bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs...

Once I had the rarest rose
That ever deigned to bloom.
Cruel winter chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon.

Oh loneliness - oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine.

Love, oh love, oh love...
Still falls the rain... (still falls the rain)
(Love, oh love, oh, love...)
Still falls the night...
(Love, oh love, oh love...)
Be mine forever.... (be mine forever)
(Love, oh love, oh love....)

Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven's lain
With stars of brightest gold

They shine for you - they shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free


Building A Mystery
Sarah Mclachlan

You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery

You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?

You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah, you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin

You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine

Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully

You're building a mystery


Redeemer
performed by Marilyn Manson

The hunger inside given to me,
Makes me what I am
Always it is calling me,
For the blood of man...

They say I cannot be this,
I am jaded,
Hiding from the day
I can't bare,
I cannot tame the hunger in me...

Oh, I say I did and always searching,
You can't fuck with me
So instead you'll taste my pain
The hunger inside given to me,
Makes me feel alive

Always out stalking prey,
In the dark I hide
Feeling, falling, hating,
Feel like I am fading,
Hating LIFE!

They say I cannot be this,
I am jaded,
Hiding from the day

I can't bare,
I cannot tame the hunger in me...
Oh, I say I did and always searching,
You can't fuck with fate
So instead you'll taste my pain
You say your life I'm taking,
Always bothering me,

I can't take this anymore,
I'm failing,
Always smothering me
You look down on me,
Hey, what you see,
Take this gift from me,
You will soon be ME!

Nothing seems exciting,
Always the same hiding...
Hiding...
It's haunting me.
It's haunting me.
It's haunting me.
It's haunting me

It's haunting me...


Forsaken
performed by David Draiman

I'm over it
You see I'm falling in the black abyss
Clouded by memories of the past
At last, I see

I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Unless you will dig my grave
We fear them finding
Always winding
Take my hand now
Be alive

You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone

I'm over it
Why can't we be together
Erase it
Sleeping so long
Taking up the mass
At last, I see

I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Unless you will dig my grave
We fear them finding
Always winding
Take my hand now
Be alive

You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone

You see, I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone

Everyone
Everyone
Everyone


Change (in the House of Flies)
Deftones

I watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had wings
And you feel so alive
I've watched you change

I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change in you
It's like you never had words
Now you feel so alive
I watched you change

It's like you never had...
annhh-ahah (6x)

I look at the cross
And I look away
Give you the gun
Blow me away

I watched a change in you
It's like you never had words
Now you feel so alive
I've watched you change
And you feel alive
You feel alive (2x)

I've watched you change
It's like you never had...

annhh-ahah (6x)
You change (3x)


Iris
Goo Goo Dolls

And I'd give up forever to touch you
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything seems like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know your alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am


You Look So Fine
Garbage

You look so fine
I want to break your heart
And give you mine
You're taking me over

It's so insane
You've got me tethered and chained
I hear your name
And I'm falling over

I'm not like all the other girls
I can't take it like the other girls
I won't share it like the other girls
That you used to know

You look so fine

Knocked down
Cried out
Been down just to find out
I'm through
Bleeding for you

I'm open wide
I want to take you home
We'll waste some time
You're the only one for me

You look so fine
I'm like the desert tonight
Leave her behind
If you want to show me

I'm not like all the other girls
I won't take it like the other girls
I won't fake it like the other girls
That you used to know

You're taking me over
Over and over
I'm falling over
Over and over

You're taking me over
Drown in me one more time
Hide inside me tonight
Do what you want to do
Just pretend happy end
Let me know let it show

Ending with letting go (3x)

Let's pretend, happy end (4x)


Halloween
Dave Mathews Band

Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh, little lovely eyes, oh, radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I will go

I will dream within the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead our love
Every love will lead me on tonight
I will lay you lying,
I will not within this life

Oh, little dreamer eyes open and waving here
Wait until I come, I see him with you
Until I come, I'll leave with me
Until I come, I do come, love...

We will leave it all behind
Oh, and in the nightmares,
I'll fill them in good time, oh
They will 'seech your mind
And no lying, and you may, well, ask,
"Why do we run around here?
Oh, while you come inside me
Oh, why does it rip me all between?"
Why then, why then, watch this little fuck!

Going away, yeah...
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Halloween.
Carry on, burial, burial, burial, burial, burial
And let them see
But tell us, are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away
I'm talking to you
Lovey dove, love is hell, love is hell, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you
Fuck!

In the sky is it wrote
Up from the ground,
I stay out of breath
I felt the temperature rises
And I felt across the creeping cold
These graves...


The Stone
Dave Mathews Band

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not
as they seem

Oh Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep

O I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see

Oh I have done wrong
But what I did I thought
needed be done
I swear

O Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go

I was just wondering if
you'd come along
hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want

But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake and
and now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok

But I was just wondering if
you'd come along
hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone

I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile,
hold you close
And it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and
a bone chilling cold

I was just wondering if
you'd come along
Tell me you will


Finale
L'Arc~en~Ciel

Faint transitory sign of beauty
Without destroying it
I quietly held it close

In the moon's hiding place
Searching taking in the pain of fate

The worry draw wear unnoticed stands in the way driven to the wall
Touched by the entrance of sadness

CHORUS 1
In the sunlight heading towards the end
Way too glaring, tomorrow can't be seen
The you that looked back, beyond time
Is gazing just like an innocent girl

In these arms awakening
Your sadness is nothing but so sad

Before the point of maddening, I yearn for you
Always be by my side, so I'll never be separated from you

CHORUS 2
Coloured by the sin raining down incessantly
In the dried path keep on wandering
This love is touched by no one
I fear that it is a turning against God

The you in the mirror, with that upside down smile
The breaking thread of dreamns spun together is cut

CHORUS 3
Eternally sinking in that prayer
Not even one answer, the water surface is swaying
The crumbling nyou isn't saved
In order to dandle you, you were put to sleep at that time

Repeat CHORUS 1

Back
