Intro] (Soft clean guitars, atmospheric pads, distant alto humming) Night falls… And I’m still here… [Verse 1] (Clean alto, mid-tempo groove, building tension) I walk through the city lights alone Every heartbeat pulls me closer to the bone You catch my eyes across the crowded room I smile like I’ve known you since the tomb Your pulse is loud, I can hear it from the door You don’t know yet what you’re hungry for I move like smoke, I never make a sound Until your breath is the only thing I’ve found [Pre-Chorus] (Building, layered clean vocals) Come a little closer, don’t be afraid I’ve been waiting centuries for this trade One taste and the night becomes forever You won’t remember how to leave, no never [Chorus] (Big, catchy, melodic clean alto – anthemic and singable) I’m the one you can’t resist Pull you in with an immortal kiss Bleed for me and never die Stay forever by my side (Stay forever, stay forever) I’m the dark you want to keep The hunger that will never sleep One kiss and the world falls away Vampire love will make you stay [Verse 2] (Slightly heavier riff underneath, still clean vocals) Your skin is warm against the cold I am I taste the life you’ve barely understand You whisper my name like a sacred prayer I answer with the weight of every year I could end it quick, I could let you go But the way you look at me… you already know This isn’t mercy, this is what I crave A willing heart that doesn’t want to be saved [Chorus] I’m the one you can’t resist Pull you in with an immortal kiss Bleed for me and never die Stay forever by my side (Stay forever, stay forever) I’m the dark you want to keep The hunger that will never sleep One kiss and the world falls away Vampire love will make you stay [Clean Breakdown] (Drop to clean, spacious, emotional – soft guitars, ambient textures, raw alto) In the quiet… I hear your heart slow down Every beat a promise you won’t drown I could let you go, I could set you free But I’d rather keep this hunger with me (Soft, almost whispered) Stay… Just stay… I’ll keep you alive in the dark I’ll keep you mine when the light falls apart (Building slightly with layered vocals) You’re not afraid… You’re not afraid… You’re already mine [Bridge] (Rising, more power, still clean) Centuries of empty rooms and colder nights Then you looked at me like I was the light I don’t know if this is love or just the thirst But I’ll take whatever version hurts the worst [Final Chorus] (Full, soaring, biggest version – gang/layered cleans optional on the hooks) I’m the one you can’t resist Pull you in with an immortal kiss Bleed for me and never die Stay forever by my side (Stay forever, stay forever) I’m the dark you want to keep The hunger that will never sleep One kiss and the world falls away Vampire love will make you stay (Outro ad-lib) Stay with me… Forever… Immortal… Mine…
