I FEEL FOR YOU, MY DEAR ONE
YOUR INNOCENCE ROBBED, IN BROAD DAY LIGHT
YOU GROW WEARY FROM ALL OF THE ACHES OF THIS LIFE
YOU HAVE LONGED MANY DAYS FOR PEACE AND YET MANY NIGHTS FALL WITHOUT QUENCHING
ONLY VAMPIRES LIVE HERE,
THEY SMELL YOUR FEAR AND CRAVE YOUR BLOOD, THEN, THEY ALL TAKE BITS.

YOU HURT FROM ALL THE PAINS OF YESTERDAY, I KNOW
THE EYES SORE FROM THE CRYING OF THE NIGHT BEFORE
YOU BLEED STILL FROM THE CARNAGE OF THOSE YOU LOVED BEFORE
HEARTLESS THEY DUG INTO THE FLESH AND TORE THEIR WAY TO POOR YOU
AND WITH THEIR BARE HANDS, THEY CHOCKED THE LIFE FROM YOUR SOUL.

NO PLACE OF REFUGE AS LONG AS WE ARE ALIVE, YOU AND I
So IF IT PLEASE YOU, LET’S WALK TOGETHER TOWARDS THIS EDGE
RESOLVED TO TAKE THIS LEAP IN FAITH
I WONDER IF WE SHALL FIND PEACE WAITING IN THE AFTER LIFE
MAYBE THERE, LOVE ALSO AWAITS
OR IS IT JUST THE FURY OF THE GODS, AND THE SCOTCHING HEAT OF HELL.

ALAS, NO SOLACE FOR YOU MY BROKEN HEART
