[Intro] (low, intimate whisper) Come closer, baby I can hear your pulse No need to run [Verse 1] You found me where the old stone garden sleeps Silver on your collar, secrets underneath I move like winter through the open door You knew the risk, still you asked for more My reflection never meets the morning glass I keep a century beneath my mask One little smile, and your courage comes undone I taste the fear before the night has begun [Pre-Chorus] Don’t turn away, you’re already mine Your heartbeat keeps perfect time I promise I’ll be gentle when I draw you near But every promise disappears [Chorus] Let me take your breath, take your breath slowly Velvet on your throat, don’t you know me? I’m the kiss that leaves you wanting more A little red secret behind the door door Let me drain the light from your eyes Keep you warm beneath the candlelight You can call it love, you can call it fate But once I choose you, baby, it’s too late [Verse 2] I don’t sleep, I listen to the house breathe Count the little tremors underneath your sleeve The moon hangs pale above the chapel stone You look so handsome when you’re alone I have no shadow, but I cast a spell A whispered name can open any cell Your skin turns cold when my fingers pass Yet you lean closer like you want it to last [Pre-Chorus] Don’t turn away, you’re already mine Your heartbeat keeps perfect time I promise I’ll be gentle when I draw you near But every promise disappears [Chorus] Let me take your breath, take your breath slowly Velvet on your throat, don’t you know me? I’m the kiss that leaves you wanting more A little red secret behind the door door Let me drain the light from your eyes Keep you warm beneath the candlelight You can call it love, you can call it fate But once I choose you, baby, it’s too late [Bridge] [half-sung, nearly whispered] No sunrise can hold me No holy water knows me I’ve worn a thousand names Still the hunger feels the same So place your trust inside my hands And let the night make its demands [Final Chorus] Let me take your breath, take your breath slowly Velvet on your throat, don’t you know me? I’m the kiss that leaves you wanting more A little red secret behind the door door Let me drain the light from your eyes Keep you warm beneath the candlelight You can call it love, you can call it fate But once I choose you, baby, it’s too late [Outro] (softly, with fading ad-libs) (whispered) Close your eyes Your blood is mine
