    In my world, it's the darkness that shines
    the wind moves to my will
    shadows are alive
    and angels are on fire


    The sound of your heartbeat
      echos beautifully in my ears
    A hunger awakens within
    causing my mouth to water with thirst


    The blood that flows
    just beneath your skin
    calls out to me
    begging for release


    Oh, how good it feels
    to hold you in my arms
    I can hear Christ weeping
    from the sound of your screams


    I tear into your flesh
    draining the life
    from your fragile veins
    till your iris expands
    to absorb the sight of heaven


    It's within these few moments
    when all you have seen
    all you have felt
    and all you have ever dreamed
    becomes a part of me

    Damn Artie! I love this one. Some really really good lines in there 'I can hear Christ weeping from the sound of your screams'. I can definately see the vampire connection you eluded to, but at the same time this sounds a lot like my ex girlfriend LOL. I really liked it.
