A gift of life born in a grave Never to die A soul that will never be saved That will never see light While the world is sleeping, we all fly In the daylight silence keeping We wait for the nights When the day ends, life begins When the shadows take light For hundreds of years We are your fears and we will never die When the light goes away We come out to play Innocence lost and a Demon within Forgive me, father Yes, I have sinned I will never be holy I will never be saved This was my gift of the day I was born in a grave Basking in the moonlight Wolves will howl and the bats will fly You never knew we were watching Lifeless inside, for the blood is the life The gift of the night That has kept us alive For thousands of years We lived in your tears And we never will die When the light goes away We come out to play Innocence lost and a Demon within Forgive me, father Yes, I have sinned I will never be holy I will never be saved This was my gift of the day I was born in a grave I was born in a grave, born in a grave Innocence lost and a Demon within Forgive me, father Yes, I have sinned I will never be holy I will never be saved This was my gift of the day I was born in a grave I was born in a grave, born in a grave Innocence lost and a Demon within Forgive me, father Yes, I have sinned I will never be holy I will never be saved This was my gift of the day I was born in a grave I was born in a grave, born in a grave Innocence lost and a Demon within Forgive me, father Yes, I have sinned I will never be holy I will never be saved This was my gift of the day I was born in a grave I was born in a grave, born in a grave Innocence lost and a Demon within Forgive me, father Yes, I have sinned I will never be holy I will never be saved This was my gift of the day I was born in a grave I was born in a grave
