Vampires Into Doves

(Vampires into Doves)
(Vampires  into Doves)

Closer  to the blamed and the wicked and the blessed and the pure
For ages in love with the filthy and obscure
Seducing with passion, romantic distraction, violate innocence, feeling numb, heart of stone

Always  longing for perfection but never found it
Amongst  the living searching elsewhere, brought me here
Where death sings praise to life
Felt  the warmth but didn't dare to step outside my shadows
Heard the stories of my kind: burned by the sun

When you step into the light
It burns you like the sun
Ignites  your flesh and bone
Like a vampire on the run

When you step into the light
It burns you like the sun
Ignites your flesh and bone
Like a vampire on the run

And in the ash-pile
Laying on the ground
A newborn heartbeats pounds
(A newborn heartbeats pounds)
Glowing with a new passion
Bursting with energy
(Bursting with energy)
Evil torn away
A phoenix on the rise

Shaking every feather clean
(Shaking every feather clean)
Shaking every feather clean

When you step into the light
It burns you like the sun
Ignites your flesh and bone
Like a vampire on the run

When you step into the light
It burns you like the sun
Ignites your flesh and bone
Like a vampire on the run

From black to white
Unfolding purity
Flying to the ends and back
Travel on the beams of light
Through day and night

With golden wings
News of hope it brings
Sudden change of hearts
Turning faces to the skies

Once again we see ourselves
In the true image what we are
Spirits of a coming kingdom
Hidden inside flesh and bone
Spirits of a coming kingdom
Hidden inside flesh and bone

I'm done with the acts of the elders
Finding new ways and new hopes
Here's a toast to the former me
Let bygones be bygones
I feel life in my veins
As light has broken these chains
That has restrained
I'm obliged to keep track
To this new road
And never turn
Back
And never turn back
And never turn back

Standing here
At the end of night
Waiting for the sunrise
Bathe me in the light
Turn this vampire into a dove
(Turning vampires into doves)
