Only you can help decide,
Keep the secrets I confide,
Stay forever by my side,
Fill this empty void inside.

Only you can show the way,
Rescue me and save the day,
Give me hope with all you say,
Cleanse my soul so I can pray.

Only you can set me free,
Help me be all I can be,
Find the path that I can’t see,
Hold my hand and walk with me.

Walk with me through all we’ve seen,
Talk me through all that we’ve been,
Take away each nagging doubt,
Help my heart to work this out.

Take my hand and hold it tight,
Talk to me and stay in sight,
Keep me safe and ease my fright,
Sit with me all through the night.

Stay with me for just a while,
Share with me your secret smile,
Show me there is more to this,
Save my soul with just one kiss.

Shadows walk with me again,
Calling out my name,
Darkness watches me again,
Playing out this game,

Fangs grow wet and sharp again,
Vision blurring out,
Hunger pangs grow strong again,
Mind filling with doubt,

Taking in that scent again,
Puts me in a daze,
Finding that sweet taste again,
Sets my heart ablaze,

Fighting with myself again,
Though my will is strong,
Losing this safe hold again,
Hiding for too long.

What happened to our haven,
That most sacred of all towns,
What once was vibrant and alive,
Now home to mindless clowns,

What happened to our people,
Those children of the night,
Who once were strong and plenty,
Now shadows in the light,

What happened to our glory,
All that we swore to keep,
What once gave us true power,
Now simply makes us weep.

Is this the world I used to watch?
The world for which I gave my wings,
This place of thieves and murderers,
That once was full of precious things,

Is this the creature I’ve become?
The creature that I used to guard,
This species so far from my own,
That has no artist, muse, or bard,

Is this the land I used to roam?
The land for which I took an oath,
This place of hatred and disease,
That once was sacred to us both,

Is this the future that I sought?
The future that denied me youth,
This march of ever shorter days,
That takes me further from the truth.

Plant your love just like a seed,
Nurture it with each good deed,
Show it light through hope and truth,
Care for it throughout its youth,

Distance those who would devour,
Cherish each and every flower,
Save the leaves of colder years,
Wash them clean with your own tears,

Remember right and forgive wrong,
Keep the stem forever strong,
One day that seed will be a tree,
The fruit of love for all to see.

Hot with passion,
Cold with shame,
Beauty with a secret name,

Sun by day,
And star by night,
Kiss so sweet but far from right,

Love and laughter,
Fear and doubt,
Strangers to the world about,

Light and dark,
Two souls one heart,
Doomed before they even start.
