Steal Your Eyes

Verse 1

I rose from ashes born of night

With blood-stained hands and eyes of white

A thousand years I walked alone

A king of shadows on a throne

Then you came dressed in mortal grace

With heaven hiding in your face

I thought my hunger made you mine

Never knowing you'd been cursed by time

Pre-Chorus

I drank the blood I bore the pain

I thought my soul was lost in vain

But every night your eyes grew cold

And something ancient took its hold

Chorus

I thought the curse was mine to bear

The endless night the cold despair

But every dawn that passed us by

I watched the darkness steal your eyes

Steal your eyes

Steal your eyes

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Take it all

Oh-oh

Verse 2

The mirror showed your face grow pale

Your heartbeat weakened your skin turned frail

You never aged yet death drew near

A thousand whispers filled my fear

I burned the scrolls I bargained low

I traded souls to make it slow

The truth was carved in blood and bone

You'd been cursed before I'd ever known

Pre-Chorus

Your first true love would seal your fate

An ancient spell a lover's hate

The moment that your heart chose mine

Your soul became the dark's design

Chorus

I thought the curse was mine to bear

The endless night the cold despair

But every dawn that passed us by

I watched the darkness steal your eyes

Steal your eyes

Steal your eyes

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

Take it all

Oh-oh

Bridge

My love don't let me turn to stone

Don't let me face the dark alone

I'd give my fangs my blood my throne

To save the heart that feels like home

But death won't bargain hell won't bend

And some dark curses have no end

Breakdown

Take my immortality

Take every breath that's left in me

Let the sunlight claim my skin

Just let her live again

Chorus

Now I know the curse was never mine

I was just the keeper of your dying time

You were the soul condemned to stay

Forever young while life decayed

If love's the spell that sealed your fate

Then let my death undo the hate

I'll face the dawn I'll burn I'll fall

If I can save you from it all

Save you from it all

Save you from it all

Outro

The sunlight breaks across your face

Your heartbeat returns

But I have no grace

You open your eyes and whisper stay

I smile as my ashes drift away

The curse was yours my love

But the sacrifice was mine
