Claire's Horrors Lyrics
Spirits seem to drift up through a darkened sky,
twisting through dead branches in the night,
while in the moonlight we go down upon our knees,
entwined together only we can see their beauty.
Beneath the stars a bell begins to toll,
for reasons which we really shouldn't know,
so take a walk with me down to the cemetery,
wrap me in darkness, Claire make love to me.
I am thunder,
I am rain,
I am pleasure,
I am pain.
Only in darkness, can there be light,
tell me angel, have you prayed tonight?
In the dark I know you all so well,
beauty from heaven, wrapped 'round souls from hell,
so take a drink from me, my sacrifice to thee,
damned fallen angel, always blessed with me.
I am thunder,
I am rain,
I am pleasure,
I am pain.
Only in darkness,can there be light,
tell me angel, have you prayed tonight?
-Instrumental-
I am thunder,
I am rain,
I am pleasure,
I am pain.
Only in darkness, can there be light,
tell me angel, have you prayed tonight?
Burning darkness, red ecstasy, pull me closer...
and make me bleed.

this is my favorite LAM song...just beautiful..
this could possibly be a reference to Jane Clairmont (also known as Claire Clairmont), one of Lord Byron's many lovers and mother of his daughter Allegra.
Although their actual relationship was strained and tense, the 1986 movie "Gothic" told it rather differently. The film gave her the tendency towards epileptic fits, which her step-sister, Mary Shelley, termed, "Claire's Horrors." Byron's love adopts predatory undertones, at some points portraying him as a vampire feeding from his young, angelic paramour.
Sean from London After Midnight claimed the song had no meaning but is one obvious reference to Claire Clairmont's epileptic fits which Mary Shelley titled "Claire's Horrors".
Sorry, hysteria fits!
