Goodnight, sleep tight…
Theres a cat I've seen, eyes dark green
Coat draped down to his knees
His skin is fair, blue-black hair and a
Look that'll make you freeze
He comes to me in the blue moonlight
Our love is dark, never see the light
I felt him put the bite on me
Now I know what love's supposed to be
I think I'm sleeping with a Vampyre
Drove a stake through his heart
Now he's on fire
I think I'm sleeping with a Vampyre
Darkness calls, to him I must go
Down his cheek ran a single tear
Haven't slept in a thousand years
I thought it was all in my head 'til
I woke up with the dead in my bed!
Chorus
I knew you spelt taboo
Close my eyes and I see you
Standing there, mouth agape
Nothing's said, my life's at stake!
Chorus
Goodnight, sleep tight
In your coffin tonight…
You can hear him call from miles around
He acts like a king and wears a crown
Prince of Darkness, Master of Pain
He'll make you his bride
when he calls your name
Chorus
Darkness calls, to him I must go…
