Sanctum Sanctorum - The Damned

I know it’s late and I should go to bed

But I can’t tear away from the night

It holds the seed of a memory

It’s true of you

When first I saw you I realised

The fire burned deep behind your eyes

I knew a kiss would paralyse

It’s true from you

Awake in the night to whisper your name

Only silence replies, its answer a sleeping refrain

The moments die but memory stays

Love like a carnival’s runaway ride

We spin and we climb to where once sirens cried

And then sometimes angels can be devils too

It’s true of you

It’s true of you

When shadows no longer fall

And footsteps can’t be heard at all

I hear the ghost of a call

It’s true from you

Awake in the night to whisper your name

Only silence replies, its answer a sleeping refrain

The moments die but memory stays

Reaching for something that’s just out of reach

Lost to your lips and drowned in your kiss

The tide of your passion is now but a dream

It’s but a dream

It’s but a dream

It’s but a dream

It’s but a dream
