Dark Guardian

Dream, my love.
Embrace the far-off imaginary places;
These visions of insanity.

Do not fear the night.
And yet you pray for protection.
I will answer.

No, I am not from the Lord.
I am of the dead,
But walk among you, I do.
I will be in this existence for eternity.

Those who wish to do you harm
Lose their blood and their souls to me.
I am your dark guardian.
I murder to sustain myself
And to keep you alive.

My love... You fear me.
I bid you, do not be afraid.
You are safe from my bloodlust.
Next to me, you are safer
Than you've ever been,

So sleep. Dream in peace.
Know that until you die, you are protected.
No harm shall come to you this night,
Nor the next night.
A lifetime is yours to savor.
