It Should Have Been Better (but I chose the night)
--------------------------------------------------

Standing all alone, 
false friends you've left me here to die,
the promise has run dry!
In the silver light, 
I'm walking through a tunnel,
the tunnel to the pit!
And the angels' choir is drowned by snarls
that echo through the mist,
with nothing to protect me now.

It should have been better,
it should have made my life complete,
but I chose the night!

Feed on me tonight,
my neck I'll bare for you,
sweet torment, blood and soul alike,
and as the shadows rise,
no sun or moon will guide us,
but still we'll find our way.
And the angels cry,
as they are driven away to endless night,
with nothing to protect them now.

It should have been better,
it should have made my life complete,
but I chose the night!

I needed no other reasons
for when seen at night,
oh, your promise looked so real.

It should have been better,
it should have made my life complete,
but I chose the night

(I lusted for your overwhelming power)
... so I chose the night,
(I came willingly to you)
... and I chose the night,
(I was so blind for signs of your deception)
I thought it might be better.
