Upon This Moonlit Night
As night falls down the lights go on
Gas lamps breathe life and shadows gone
A horse and carriage thrum steady beat
In the cobbled road 'neath Baker Street
The curtains drawn some light falls still
While moonlight plays on window sill
A violin strums out a tune
Dark sensual notes that sing of doom
Tobacco smoke wafts as a dream
As violin strings ache and scream
A mouth parts slightly, whiskey's pourn
As great love this night is born
'Neath the hallow crook of moon
Dark creatures stir, they're coming soon
Breed within the darkest night
That none dare speak of come the light
The creatures deep within a soul
Go searching now for hearts they stole
And 'neath the piercing light of moon
A jackets' torn and buttons stroon
Hot flesh on flesh and tongue on tongue
Like bullets' power tight in gun
Hearts beat fast and pulses thud
Veins run fast with frenzied blood
Stolen kisses rent the air
Dark throaty moans from those who dare
A scream of pain, of pure delight
With one last kiss they seal the night
And none shall ever know this deed
All recollection drown by greed
And upon this moonlit night
Dark creatures satisfied take flight.
