Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You’re standing in the candlelight Bare feet on the freezing stone You tremble when you say my name Yet still you do not turn and run Your pulse is like a ringing bell It calls me closer Pulls me in Your eyes are asking who I am My hunger asks the same thing [Chorus] Blood or forever? Tell me what am I to choose Do I love you as I lose you Or lose myself Refuse the dawn? Blood or forever? If I spare you Time will steal you If I claim you Night will keep you Either way My soul is gone [Verse 2] Your hair has caught a drop of wax It glitters like a fragile crown I reach to brush it from your skin My hand remembers how to shake I see a future in your face I see an ending in your throat One kiss could make your story stop One kiss could make it never fade [Chorus] Blood or forever? Tell me what am I to choose Do I love you as I lose you Or lose myself Refuse the dawn? Blood or forever? If I spare you Time will steal you If I claim you Night will keep you Either way My soul is gone [Bridge] You whisper "Is this mercy?" You whisper "Is this fate?" You say "I’d rather walk with you Than walk away too late" (oh) But do you know the thirst The thirst The quiet years that never end? To save you I must curse you To save you I must sin again [Chorus] Blood or forever? Tell me what am I to choose Do I love you as I lose you Or lose myself Refuse the dawn? Blood or forever? If I turn you You will hate me If I leave you Night will break me Either way My soul is gone [Outro] So close your eyes My fragile heart One way we part One way we burn I’ll hold you till the candles die And pray I never Pray I never Pray I never make the choice I’ve earned
