Vampire's Lullaby

from 'the Vampire's Opera'

Only the beautiful are cursed

That's how it's meant to be

The beautiful are cursed to live

Immortality

A heart's never too young

A soul never too old (to know)

The magnificence of beauty

Death still has to hold

 

And at night I hear her scream

You're never too young to die

In dreams I hear her whisper

A vampire's lullaby

 

She's a child in the shadows

A child from my past

A nightmare and a mem'ry

A dream amongst my past

She springs a fountain of youth

To drink from her is to live

The magnificence of beauty

That death still has to give

 

And at night I hear her scream

You're never too young to die

In dreams I hear her whisper

A vampire's lullaby

 

I heard an angel singing

I heard a demon cry

I heard the angel whisper

A vampire's lullaby

 

All the children of the darkness

And children of night

See the beauty and the nightmare

Still hidden from the light

If only the mortal mind

Weren't too blind to see

The magnificence of beauty

Your kiss has brought to me

 

And at night I hear you scream

We're never too young to die

In dreams I hear you whisper

A vampire's lullaby

All the children of the darkness
And children of night
See the beauty and the nightmare
Still hidden from the light
If only the mortal mind
Weren't too blind to see
The magnificence of beauty
Your kiss has brought to me

I loved the 'old world' quality of this - the word choice, the lyrical quality would lend itself wonderfully to this type of genre. Bravo

[A.L.Whit]
