Alone i traveled through the mountains
led by a star fading west
when i came upon an ancient ruin of a church
and it was there i stopped to rest
Then the black and gloomy night that chased my footsteps
crashed down on me like a wave
whispering through the trees and eerie breeze
carried a voice beckoning me to be her slave
In a whisper she said...
Burn forever
leave never from my arms
embrace the night
From the black and twisting shadows rose a woman
beauty alluring to the eye
oh her devilish grin, her moonlit skin
and long dark hair flowing down around her thighs
As she approached i felt the evil growing stronger
i waltz with the wicked within
frozen in my place, she kissed my face
and in a storm of passion bathed me in sin
In the madness...she said...
Burn forever
leave never from my arms
embrace the night
Then she weaved a mist - and cast me into the shadows
"come with me, love eternally, forever mine"
"set me free - in death we'll dance eternally forever and ever..."
As so the light, cast down from the heavens,
washed over me like wave
i awoke, it seems, from some crazy dream
only to find i was standing at her grave
In my nightmare...she said
Burn forever
leave never from my arms
embrace the night
Burn forever
leave never from my arms
don't ever leave me- never leave me
Burn forever
leave never from my arms
embrace the night
