Wake Up at Dusk Lyrics

A long time ago I was a crusader knight
Who was fighting in the name of God
But one night I met an unexpected foe
And since then I wake up at dusk

I found you dying in a narrow street
Victim of a robbery gone bad
You took my hand, begging for help
You will think it was unfair
But as a kind of Solomon
Immediately, with joy I satisfied your desire
Your blood flows in me
I give you the choice
I would have liked for me
To sleep or live eternally
You could become ash or
You could become damned
Either way it's forevermore
You look at me straight in the eye
And with the most total contempt
You shouted me to finish my vile work
Maybe tired of carrying alone
The wight of loneliness through time
Selfishly, with joy I satisfied your desire
My blood flows in you
I gave you the choice
I would have liked for me
To sleep or live eternally
You will be my mate, it often happens anyway
That someone else sadly decides for you

Welcome to my world where there's no pain at all
Except by daylight and fire
Don't be afraid of me, you will understand
When and if you wake up at dusk
