Dhampir's Portrait

[Verse] Under the whispering moon The road lays dark and cold A dhampir wanders lonesome With secrets never told He turns to his companion Weary from the strife "Draw me as you see me For I’ve never glimpsed my life." [Verse 2] In the quiet stretch of twilight Shadows dance in dread His eyes A passion yearning For visions in his head With veins of hidden sorrow And heart of endless night "Sketch me as a stranger Bathed in spectral light." [Chorus] Draw the face that shuns the day With night-bound eyes so deep Trace the lines of autumn age The soul that cannot sleep In your hands A magic place Where lost reflections dwell Sketch the man you think you know No mirror ever tells [Verse 3] Beneath the branches Heavy with the tales of ancient trees He stands a silent specter A phantom of the breeze His portrait in your keeping In flimsy paper form Ink is binding shadows Where fragile spirits swarm [Verse 4] Through the forest of whispered dreams He’s a visage blurred An echo lost in silence A figure yet unheard “Capture then my essence In strokes of twilight spell Sketch what only you can see In colors dark and fell.” [Bridge] In nighttime’s pale embrace Where the living meet the mist A dhampir’s ghostly outline By memory is kissed Ever bound by darkness Forever out of sight "Show me who I’ve never seen Awaken in your light."
