[Intro] (Spectral whispers) The first dawn never found me The first breath was never mine Before memory learned your name The dark already knew mine [Verse 1] You came to me with stars in your eyes Believing forever could love you back You carried hope like candlelight Beautiful... and terribly brief I almost envied your tomorrow I have always preferred tonight [Pre-Chorus] Drink... not for hunger Drink... to remember There are older rivers than blood [Chorus] You said you owned the night ... Darling... ... I AM THE NIGHT! The blood remembers my name The blood remembers my name [Verse 2] You wear eternity like borrowed silk I wear eternity like skin The living spend their whole lives Chasing tomorrow I have always preferred tonight Then I found you pale eyes burning Winter fire beneath eternity Something ancient looked back at me Without fear Without worship Only recognition [Bridge] I smiled the first time I tasted forever Not because it was sweet Because it answered Every question I had never asked [Final Chorus] You said you owned the night ... Darling... ... I AM THE NIGHT The blood remembers my name The blood remembers my name [Outro] Come... leave the dawn behind Leave your name with the living Walk beside me into forever The night was always.. Waiting..
