I came through the dark to collect what was mine,
Cold hands on your body, your pulse against time.
You should have been begging, you should have run,
Instead you kissed me like death was fun.
Your heat on my mouth, your nails in my skin,
One taste of your life and I wanted in.
I am Death—and I want you alive,
Breathing and burning beneath me tonight.
Let every grave scream, let destiny lie,
I am Death—and I want you alive.
Your heartbeat pounds like a sin in my hands,
The only living thing I cannot command.
I came for your soul, but I took your desire,
Now even the reaper is begging for fire.
Stay in my arms where the darkness can’t reach,
Make immortality fall at your feet.
I am Death—and I want you alive,
Breathing and burning beneath me tonight.
Let heaven condemn us, let hell testify,
I am Death—and I want you alive.
Keep your pulse under my fingertips,
Keep my name burning on your lips.
Everyone dies when I arrive—
But you, my love, I’ll keep alive.
I am Death—and I want you alive,
Breathing and burning beneath me tonight.
Let every grave scream, let destiny lie,
I am Death—and I want you alive.
