Before these teeth sucked blood?

That’s a distant memory

One coated in infinite agony

I saw her there, in the field, lying half-dead in mud

 

I was warned once to stay away from the one with black hair

Within the pitch black darkness I ran to save her

I had never thought myself to be braver

If I hadn’t, perhaps I would not have been a part of a curse-ridden affair

 

I carried her, one arm on my shoulder

To my cabin we went, to the fire we would warm

I ran and ran to escape the hail storm

Nearing the cabin door, it became difficult to hold her

 

I looked at the pale girl and her skin began to malform

A giant bat! she took flight, tossing me inside

Then she confronted me and roared “Why’d? Why’d?”

She shrouded in black and began to transform, a beautiful ideal form

 

I ask myself now why? Why would I take action

She talked of fear and blamed her cursed blood

Nothing made me love her as much as when I saw her eyes flood

That moment was one that I felt unmatchable attraction

 

We escaped together from those hunters, so prodigious

As lovers we lived, until she kissed me on my vein

And it's that first kiss that brought me such pain

They found her and burned her in the name of something religious

 

My blood burned for revenge and I loved the thought

I would use my curse to fill the world with vile

You can believe in my madness, I truly did smile

I would bring to them the misery that they brought

 

I swore that day she left me behind

That they would woe the day that they took her away from being mine
