Story Behind The Song
This is a story of two people who are in love. He is a vampire, and she is a human. The hunters are almost there, but they stand better chances if he turns her into a vampire, so they stand better chances in combat. After she became an immortal, they hear outside other vampires screaming and being slayed by the hunters. They grab their hands, he opens the door and they jump into a battle and fight for their lives. In the quiet middle section, the vampire is down on the ground - he visualizes great time he had with his love, and that gives him the strength to stand up and fight again.

Lyrics
You're wearing a dress
With your favorite red scarf
Around your neck
It's cold and dark
I'm lighting a candle
And writing down my thoughts
All the shadows in my mind are gone
Take me home
The Light will rise again
It's how the story goes
Never leave me again
Just take my hand
And follow me in my dreams
Don't be afraid to close your eyes
You are safe
I will be there
In the dark
I hear the screaming souls
They're scared of light
But I'm opening the door
You stand by me
With a rose in your hand
Not afraid to die with me today
