I know a story

That I'd really like to tell you

You might not believe me

But I swear every word is true



It sounds like one of those

That you normally read

In strange and cheap magazines

But this one is different

You can take it from me

Because the person it tells of is me



Moonlight

You're my only reason to live (tonight)

Stir my passion, stir my instincts

Cast my shadow on the wall



Moonlight

You're the only bride that I need (by my side)

Feed my senses, feed my hunger

Feed my spirit, feed my soul



When I was a young boy

I felt I did not have the same

Ideas as the others

So at first I was hiding in shame



Something was calling me outside

In cold and moonlit nights

So I had to accept I possessed

Some really strange passions

But the strangest obsession

Was a certain preference for blood



Moonlight

You're my only reason to live (tonight)

Stir my passion, stir my instincts

Cast my shadow on the wall



Moonlight

You're the only bride that I need (by my side)

Feed my senses, feed my hunger

Feed my spirit, feed my soul



You all know who I am

You meet me every now and then

Before the day breaks



My guise is not what it seems

I'll haunt you in your dreams

Until the day breaks



You deny me in daylight

But you're afraid every night

Until the day breaks



I'll haunt you like your shadow



I'm your illegal child

That you're trying to hide

I'm your secret lover

You're trying to keep undercover

The black page in your past

That she'll find out at last

I'm every sleepless night

I'm your hopeless fight

I'm the promise you did break

I'm the truth that you can't fake

I'm your conscience, your fear

So I will always be here



I'll haunt you like your shadow



Moonlight

You're my only reason to live (tonight)

Stir my passion, stir my instincts

Cast my shadow on the wall



Moonlight

You're the only bride that I need (by my side)

Feed my senses, feed my hunger

Feed my spirit, feed my soul
