Love Song For A Vampire Lyrics
Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum
It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It know not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs
Once I had rarest rose
That ever deigned to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon
Oh loneliness, oh hopelessness
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine
Love, oh love, oh love
Still falls the rain (still falls the rain)
Love, oh love, oh, love
Still falls the rain
Love, oh love, oh love
Be mine forever (be mine forever)
Love, oh love, oh love
Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven's lain
With stars of brightest gold
They shine for you, they shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum
It know not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs
That ever deigned to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine
Still falls the rain (still falls the rain)
Love, oh love, oh, love
Still falls the rain
Love, oh love, oh love
Be mine forever (be mine forever)
Love, oh love, oh love
To keep you from the cold
Now the floor of heaven's lain
With stars of brightest gold
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free

I agree with everyone. This is one of the most chilling and haunting songs she has ever done. And I love it. It has got to be one of the best songs she has ever recorded. This song is the reason I fell in love with Annie Lennox.
I dont care if I've heard this song 189 times. It still gives me the chills everytime. LOVE THIS SONG!!! Bram Strokers Dracula was on Sci FI channel the other night. I was actually mad they scrolled the ending credits so fast. LOL I wanted to hear the song on TV even though I have in on my Ipod and computer.
I fell in love with her with 'No more I love yous'.....but I fell in love all over again once I heard this song. Truly amazing haunting beauty.......oh yes.....the chills are real......EVERY time I hear it!
this song brings shivers to my spine some times...because of the emotions it rouses...I think the love it speaks of is very deep...
beautiful, haunting, chilling, enchanting. notice the heart beating in the background, throughout the whole song. it's almost hypnotic.
Beautiful song. I first heard it on Bram Stoker's Dracula, I think it fits the mood of the film perfectly.
Awesome song. Very inspiring. It totally fits the film. Can't say much more than that.
I love this song, totally agree with everyone else, very haunting and chilling. This is love eternal!
i agree with jamajessie; that happened to me too... i was looking forward to this song and was angry when the credits scrolled so quickly... i also have this on my comp. and on a CD. i love this song
This song for me is about a love you have for someone who is or is like a mother figure to you, Something you can't have, something that has gone or has died and you are left alone, searching and without. Its a horrible place to be.
