Love of Old

[onyxfiretear]

Come dance with me
Upon tattered hardwood floors
Time has forgotten these halls
Can you hear the haunting music play?

Candles glow caress now dusted walls
Tears have flowed from love lost
Blood has been spilled
From battles fought

Torn furniture still remains
Pain overwhelming grips you as you enter
See the ladies of time past
Standing there in dresses so grand

Can you smell the sweetness of their
Lavender perfume, as we twirl the air about
Listen close and you can hear echoing laughter
Glasses cling together one last time

Lives were lived in this mansion
Secrets still remain untold
As I hold you close
The undead do arise

They have come to dance again
To the Moonlight Sonata
Losing themselves in a moment of time
One time that happiness was truly found

Fear not my dear,
They will not harm you
For to them, you are home
To far you have strayed

Now that your work with the living has been done
It has come time for me
Take you back to where you belong
Welcome to the your love of old


Walk with me in the darkness so grand
As the hunters moon is high over head
I have something to show you
This night of old

I bring you to the ground where we lay
Deep in the arms of mother earth
Holding one another, as we did in life
We still do in death

With the wind blowing
You know this all to be true
Your heart beats not
Your reflection left you long ago

Mistress of the night
Tell me true
Do you know remember
What is it I am to you?

Feel the hunger well up inside
Remember what it was like to have
Blood flow through your now chilled veins
To hear the delight of the screams

Come my vampress
Let this night be a new begining
Of what will always remain and,
Dance with me again,
This Moonlight Sonata

that makes me want to hold my breath forever.
