Only Lovers Left Alive

Enter the cellar, close the door
No words, no names
Just make love
To the past letting it flow
Fading away with dark pain

Closer, come closer through the veil of sweet delirium
Comfort me with seduction of your grace so dark

Drunken concious, lustful dreams
Tongue licking ice of old wounds
Doesn’t bleed, neither heals
The scars of lies beyond the open core

Breathing so hard
Sighing in this fever of love
As only lovers left alive

In whisper you speak to me
Stroking my heart with your low voice
Enduring the flames within
I seek your warmth longing for the only choice
Made for me by your touch so deep

Venomous night dwells in this illusion of time
Tying me tight to your visions so dark
I’m enslaved by the tides so harsh and deep in your eyes
Painting my soul within those oceans unbound

Breathing so hard
Drowning deeper in this sea of love
As only lovers left alive

Closer, come closer through the veil of sweet delirium
Comfort me with seduction of your grace so dark

Sweet taste on my lips
Desire under my skin
Locked within our own dream
We are the one
One soul, one life
Combined now
One core, one heart
Sinking in this ocean of love
As only lovers left alive
