Moonlight haunts these empty halls Centuries bleed into years Portraits watch with hollow eyes Loneliness devours my soul In my castle of desire Where the shadows never sleep Immortal but so tired Of this solitude so deep Blood may fill my veins with fire But my heart remains so cold In this castle of desire I'm forever lost and old Crimson thirsts can't heal the ache Every feast leaves me more hollow Mortal lives like candle flames Flicker out while I stay broken In my castle of desire Where the shadows never sleep Immortal but so tired Of this solitude so deep Blood may fill my veins with fire But my heart remains so cold In this castle of desire I'm forever lost and old Count the nights since last I felt A beating heart against my chest Death surrounds but won't embrace This cursed gift, this endless rest In my castle of desire Built on bones of those I've known Immortal but expired On this throne I sit alone Blood may fill my veins with fire But it cannot warm my soul In this castle of desire I'm the king of growing old
