A vampire's gift. An inheritance of night.

A cold moon. Silent stones. She walks where the dead are restless and the living do not come. Then she hears it — a heartbeat, fading. A life so close to over.
Cold moon rising over silent graves
Shadows whisper ancient names
I walked alone where the lost ones tread
Where the living fear and the dead are fed
A pulse of life I heard your cry
A fragile spark beneath black sky
She has done this before. She has refused, she has mourned, she has buried. Tonight, she does not refuse.
You were trembling in the pale moonlight
Broken wings in the endless night
Your mortal breath so weak, so thin
A fading flame I pulled within
Your blood ran warm beneath my hand
A dying soul I could not stand
So I gave the curse that lives in me
An immortal dark eternity
One drop of night upon your lips
One kiss to seal the eclipse
Your heartbeat slowed then fell apart
But darkness woke inside your heart
The mortal opens his eyes. They are no longer his.
Now you rise, my Child of Darkness
Born beneath the crimson sky
Drink the night and claim your hunger
Spread your shadow, learn to fly
Through the blood and through the silence
Through eternity we roam
You are mine, my dark creation
In the night you've found your throne
She watches him learn what he is. The fear in him burns away. The hunter takes its place.
Your eyes now burn with silver flame
The world will never be the same
The warmth of life now turns to frost
A mortal soul forever lost
I feel your power growing strong
You hear the ancient hunter's song
A thousand years inside your veins
The gift of night, the endless reign
No sunrise now can steal your breath
You've crossed the sacred gate of death
The beast within begins to rise
Reflected in immortal eyes
Now you rise, my Child of Darkness
Born beneath the crimson sky
Drink the night and claim your hunger
Spread your shadow, learn to fly
Through the blood and through the silence
Through eternity we roam
You are mine, my dark creation
In the night you've found your throne
She will not always walk with him. He will inherit her night.
Now the hunters fear your name
You stalk the world without a chain
A predator of moonlit skies
With ancient power in your eyes
My legacy now walks the earth
A darker form of second birth
From dying breath to endless reign
My child will rule the night again
Not a confession. Not a mourning. A coronation.
Rise and Reign
Rise and reign, my Child of Darkness
Let the crimson rivers flow
Break the chains of mortal weakness
Feel the ancient power grow
Through the blood and through the silence
Through eternity we roam
You are mine, my dark creation
And the night
Is now your home
before her gift, there was the night she refused
