With your baronial motif 
Mankind at your feet 
and your opulent guests 
With whom you do test 
The whisper of your blood 
The call to those you loved 
Who lay down for you 
For you to run them through 

Carelessly dressed 
I grovel highness 
Beneath your stars and your moon 
and your feminine doom 

Beneath the shiver of your sea 
and the gold that you bleed 
On the wings of your charm 
A promise of great harm 

The light within us fades 
As we shy away from day 
The passion of her bite 
and the glory of her sight 
In a hive of open lore 
We await the call to war 
In an issue of drying blood 
Lies the victim of our love 

Regale me with lies 
and punish me outright 
The crisis of my empire 
The volume of your desire 

Your enfolding dark 
Your beauty and your mark 
I give you my veins 
As we lay down in pain 

I couldn't help the things we did 
No matter where or how I hid 
We live for every single night 
Victorious in every fight
