They Come At Night

Fever of heart, seductive delight
Desire of painted veil, dreams and pale sins
Uncovered virgin drunk from the fantasies deep
Through the darkness of this fatal night

All your promises were my light
Tomorrow turns into black lie
Hurt me again, be one of them
Whoever comes at night

Enchanting choir of stars through the cold moonlight
Hopes turn to dust after sunrise
Hidden path is covered with snow pure-white
Calling me to come to the land of dreams so high

All your promises were my light
Tomorrow turns into black lie
Hurt me again, be one of them
Whoever comes at night

Enter
Write my name with your blood
Sink with me in the sea of pain and rapture
Drink me deep, unhide my sweetest dreams

Come and see how cruel world can be
Touch the heart of hope and lost desire
Write the story you’ve seen through my eyes
Take the path you thought was written before

All your promises were my light
Tomorrow turns into black lie
Hurt me again, be one of them
Whoever comes at night
