Tainted Blood

(album: The Symbol Remains - 2020)

We danced among the mortals blind to their despair
As the sweet scent of certainty fills the midnight air
I offer first taste to my love as is our way
Tainted blood, she cries and dies, my whole world fades away

No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years

Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes to end this endless night
Without her there's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her eternity is misery

Throughout the many years our lives were oh so sweet
But this tainted blood has taken everything from me
No place for me within this world, the dance is done
No reason to remain, you were the only one

No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years

Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes to end this endless night
Without her there's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her eternity is misery

No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years

Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes to end this endless night
Without her there's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her eternity is misery

Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light

There's nothing, nothing for me

Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains

Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light

Make the sign of the cross, wrap me in silver chains

Put a stake through my heart, throw me out in the light
