DISCLAIMER: I don't own AFI, and I don't own any of the Characters from Van Helsing, but boy if I did…
COMMENTS: this is a companion fic to 'When You're Gone Away', another songfic in the same vein (get it? Bad joke, I'm sorry.) as this, but from Dracula's POV. R&R both if you feel like it.
Why did I ever think I could change you? Why did I let you change me? I always thought I was stronger than that. Was that what you were attracted to? The fact that you could toy with me, make me think I was in control, before I willingly surrendered to you? I shouldn't be thinking theses things. I could drive myself mad, more so, thinking like this and there still won't be any way out. Not that I truly wish to flee you, my love.
I, I came here by day
But I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
Now, it is silver and silent
It is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold.
I desperately wish you would cease telling us that you have no emotions, when you quite clearly do. Not that you care to notice, but I am not without feelings as well. But oh, how badly I wish I could take away the pain, the regret, the sorrowful discontent that you so very obviously suffer through each day, each year, each decade. I wonder, how can I hate and fear you so passionately and yet love you so very, very dearly?
Your sins into me
Oh my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As your rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer,
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me
Your sins into me
Oh my beautiful one
I should not be so harsh towards you, my dear. I do love you, so much that I often mistake it for contempt. And you do love me, more than the others, I can tell. You just forget it sometimes in the hell of immortality. I forgive you, I understand you, and I will always love you. I feel no remorse for slipping into perdition alongside you.
Light, like the flutter of wings
Feel your hollow voice rushing
Into me, as your longing to sing
So I, I will paint you in sliver
I will wrap you in cold
I will lift up your voice as I sink.
I know that my old self would. But the only part of that person I carry with me now is the dull pain that plagues my neck still.
Your sins into me
Oh my beautiful one now
Your sins into me
As your rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer,
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me
Your sins into me
Sometimes I weep, mourning my lost innocence, my lost life, and though I know I am far beyond salvation, I pray.
(Cold in life's throws)
I fall asleep for you
(Cold in life's throws)
I only ask you turn away
Cold in life's throws
I fall asleep for you
Cold in life's throw
I only ask you turn
As you seep
Into me
Oh my beautiful one now
May God forgive me.
Your sins into me
Oh my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As your rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer,
and I'll beg for forgiveness.
Your sins into me
Your sins into me
Oh
Your sins into me
Oh my beautiful one
Your sins into me
As your rapturous voice escapes I will tremble a prayer
And I'll beg for forgiveness
Your sins into me
Your sins into
Your sins into me
Your sins into me
Oh my beautiful one
And may God damn us.
