    We lie on our blanket under the stars
    The wind blows through the trees
    Away from the sound of people and cars
    The owls hoot mournful melodies

    Then he flashes me a smile
    In the moonlight his fangs shine
    I sit for a while
    By the one who promised he'd be forever mine

    He promised it would cause no pain
    When his fangs puncture my skin
    I try to scream, but in vain
    As a thought arises from within

    Is this the choice I should have made, I wonder with all my might
    Is this what I had hoped for?
    To deny the warmth of Christ's white light
    And lurk in the shadows forevermore
