lyrics

There's a tall thin man sitting in the darkness
When he motions for you to come near
You don't know what it is but something draws you closer
He leans next to you and whispers in your ear

He says
I was human once I was just like you
I had hopes and dreams, a reflection too
Sure, now I can fly And now I won't die.
But I'll never see a sunrise And I'll never see my eyes

Sometimes life bites hard and all you have are dulling fangs
They're not too good for much if they can't pierce skin
I do have this cool cape I wear around my mansion
If You would come and visit me then I would let you in
But you won't let me in

I used to love garlic bread with my spaghetti
I used to play outside every day
Now I can't wear my favorite cross necklace
Although I do make a killer blood rose

And the hardest part about losing your life
Is knowing that you don't get an after-one
And the hardest part about being immortal
Is running out of words to put in songs

Sure, now I can fly
And now I won't die
But I'll never see a sunrise
