The Cold Cannot Find Her
Here I am again ... my silent friends
Together again ... but I'm still alone ... I'm all alone,
Make love with the night ... make love in the night
make love with the night ... make love to the night
make love with the knife ... with the knife
make love to the knife ... to the knife
I search these hallowed grounds for you .. never to find you.
I see the moon ... it's falling ... into the trees ... into the pond ...
floating down under the deep murky waters ...
The light sinks in the night ... down so dark, so cold ....
But I am here, all alone without your again ...
All alone without myself ... without myself
Without you again.
Where are you on this night? I'm without you
... and I look to the skies, All alone, I am tonight...
I only see your face I cannot find you ...
written in the stars tonight alone without you
tonight you shall see me ... without ...
You shall see me fall.
I'd bury myself under the ground for you
Where are you?

So Far Away
Here we are again. Another day. Another day of rain. Another weathered letter for you. You're so far away. So many miles between us. But still I come to you. But still so far away. You share the feelings that I feel and it's been so long. Though lonliness can take it's toll, we must be strong. I cannot see you. I cannot touch you. I cannot hold you. I just need to hold you. I just need to hold you. I just need to hold you. I cannot see you. I cannot touch you. I cannot hold you. I just need to hold you. I just need to see you. I just need to be with you. Please wait for me ... we shall be together some day. Together in the rain and I will finally hold you forever and you will never be alone again.

In a Crimson Kiss lyrics
Beyond the lights on the outside, where tears of blood are overlooked ... outsiders never felt the night. It's not so cold when you're not alone... our tears of blood fill the chalice; we drink when the cup runneth over. Tempting death to take us in ... we will not die here in our sin. Under the stars, under the moon. Blackness calls us into itself. Within the shade of tall cold graves, in tears ov blood, we find ourselves. To the edge of life on the of cold steel ... in a crimson kiss, we fall into bliss ... in tears of blood ...

Serenade
Come to me, I want to see you in the reflection of the pond. I'm still waiting for you. Danse with me. Oh, won't you take my hand and waltz with me into the endless night. my love. My Love. My love we must reunite again in the darkness. Forever. Forever this time. We are the Dark. Come closer. Oh, so close to me, and this time you shall not leave. Come to me my love. Oh, my darling ... Let us be One.

The Last Tears
When darkness falls, I will find you there waiting for me
Where life is gone, in the cold of winter we will meet once again,
And we shall be alone under the cloudy, starless night.
Snow is falling as we danse ... the world is only black and white.
Among the cemetery stones, we walk slowly to the place
where only children of the night dare go ~ into the dark forest.
Under your veil I see your face ~ pale with no expression.
As I stare into your eyes, your tears tell me that it's time.
Kneeling down under the fragile dying branches of the trees,
I hold you close under my cloak ~ protect you from the chilling breeze.
We can wait no longer; now I hold the daggers in my hands
You pull back your veil and close your eyes as we prepare to die.
Only one thing left that we must do before our final breath ~
One last taste of mortal blood from the white flesh of our necks.
Tears ov blood flow down, then kissed away ~ now all our tears are gone.
Now our daggers thrust into our hearts in the first light of dawn.

Our Winter Infinite
They found us lying there ~ half buried in the snow
'Twas far too late to save us ...
Our blood had frozen to our hands ~ that still held the daggers
Our hearts had stopped so cold.
(chorus)
While in the funeral home, they drained us of our blood ~
there wasn't much left anyway
And they buried us side by side so we'd always be together
If only they knew ...
(chorus)
Weep not for us My Friends ~ as you stand round the tomb,
You know that death is not the end.
Forever ~ we shall sleep, and our bones may turn to dust
But, still, we rise again ... we rise again
(chorus)
We set ourselves free from the mortal pain
Sorrow finally drips away
In Life our love so pure was brought to an end
Now, in the end, it will last forever.
(chorus)
In death, we fell at dawn
Our winter infinite has come
In tears ov blood, we lost our lives
In darkness, we will rise ... again

Shadows Dance
Sunlight ... dying. The last moments ov day ... fade. The warm red glow ... grows dim. Twilight ... Enter Night. Slowly ... Black clouds roll ... under the stars. The moon ... hanging in the sky is engulfed by the clouds. The moonlight tries to shine through. It tries ... It tries ... Blackness. A light rain begins to fall. Raindrops ... fall like tears to the ground. Tombstones ... cold ... grey ... representing lives once lived ... and lost. Tombstones ... surrounded by wrought iron gates. Cold ... black ... overgrown with weeds ... now dead ... and thorns, all wet with rain. Time stops ... Life ... slows down ... to nothing ... No color ... no light. Two shadows ... two black silhouettes ... slowly ... silently float toward each other. Cloaked in darkness ... with veils ov cobwebs ... the two silhouettes become one. In silent slow motion, the shadows dance ... over the graves ... and then ... fall to the ground. The shadows faces' ... white ... cold ... wet with rain ... They stare up ... into the sky. The rain falls ... into their empty eyes ... and flows out over their faces ... like tears. Hands clutch rusting daggers. Daggers that stopped their hearts so long ago. Now ... the shadows sink ... back down into the earth ... into their graves.
