Goodbye Dracula Lyrics

A rose grew with no name

I knew you by your shame

A sane man fighting for his soul

You never felt the same

I held your weight in blame

The noose was tightened for the role

I saw the worst of night

A curse by candlelight

What could I offer to console

Some creature taking flight

You were a stranger sight

This man or monster in control

Tell me what my heart should say

Before the story's told

We both had our part to play

Before the blood ran cold

You laughed through everything

I knew your suffering

But I could never meet your eyes

A wasted diamond ring

The hate that hope could bring

The cruelty clever in the lies

And on that mark you feed

The dark has gone to seed

What have we done in compromise

Just tell me what you need

A cut that doesn't bleed

Have you become what you despise

Every night you tried to pray

But never were consoled

By the light you led astray

Before the blood ran cold

But my heart he fades away

What is here to hold

I have loved you more today

Before the blood ran cold

You command this heart to sing

When others meant me harm

I'd abandon everything

To keep you in my arms

Blood is far too precious here

And you are not so strong

What we are is freed of fear

But glory days are gone

So we are haunted now

I want to know somehow

You'll never try to make me leave

Though time will not allow

Be still and make this vow

Whatever cruelty they conceive

I won't do what you asked

It's true our time is past

I can't say what I don't believe

The dead may travel fast

I'll stay until the last

When death may offer some reprieve

I would live the rest of time

With the one I hold

Let me give this heart of mine

To feel the blood run cold

Every star that burns today

Is already old

Where you are is where I'll stay

Let the blood run cold
