Lyrics VAMP - the gothic rock opera - Moonrise

Act I, scene 1: Alexandra rises from her slumber with the moon. She contemplates the evenings possibilities with hunger.

Moonrise by Dark's guise, and outside it begins
Warmth spreads where once dead, the soul sheds one more sin
Lock and key won't hold me, won't console the pervasive need
A brave few, I crave you: I, a slave to the feed

Somewhere a heart beats, somewhere a heart bleeds
Longing for redemption's icy kiss
Tonight I'll try again, that I might comprehend
That I might savor, the fountain of love's bliss

"Come close!", the snake gloats - oh, the pathos of it all!
"Bring things," the serpent sings, the trap springs on the thrall
Moonrise through new eyes, the veil belies the beast within
Dangled dead by one thread, wings spread...

[ A second voice, perhaps hundreds of miles away, yet projected from within her head, interrupts Alexandra's waking aria. It is as though the thoughts and words of some distant creature have alerted Alexandra to it's presence... ]

Voice - (Simon) Imagine:

Alexandra - ...it begins...!

Voice - (Simon) The blood spilt on these walls!

[ She pauses, considering, then responds. ]

Alexandra - Yes! Imagine!
