Nocturnal Pleasures

Another song of vampire love and loss.

Female:

Like a ghost on the edge of the wind

Like a secret of forever

I hear your voice calling

My darling, remember

An angel's never too young to die

A demon too lost to be saved

The only memories that haunt you

Are the ones you take to the grave

 

And the one that you once treasured

The soul that you once saved

Has fallen to nocturnal pleasures

While you were in your grave

 

Male:

Now the world is just a tomb to me

A darkness without an end

I take refuge in my sanctuary

And dream your love again

You were just a victim

Unprotected by the weather

An angel of the night

Fallen to nocturnal pleasures

 

Now the one that I once treasured

The one that I once saved

Has fallen to nocturnal pleasures

While I was in my grave

 

Now the world has fallen to darkness

And shadows become its cover

The night is now my bride

The darkness my new lover

My angel's never too young to die

This demon too lost to be saved

The only memories that haunt me

Are the ones that darkness gave

 

Now the one that I once treasured

The one that I once saved

Has fallen to nocturnal pleasures

While I was in my grave
