I shall come to you,
Silent as a firefly,
A whisper on your cheek,
A spirit in your sleep.
I shall take you,
Out into the night,
Where the moon turns the marsh to silver,
And the stars pay tribute to your eyes.
And I shall love you,
With the passion of a thousand martyrs,
Falling on the blade of my desire.
And you will wake,
And wonder what voodoo
Came into your room,
And left your cheeks in crimson.
What deadly specter
Crawled into your bed,
And stole your breath away...
