LOVE SONG FOR A VAMPIRE (BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, 1992)


"I have crossed oceans of time to find you." - Dracula


For the nth time, the legendary tale of Vlad The Impaler a.k.a Dracula is given a new twist. Based on a classic bestseller by Bram Stoker, Director Francis Ford Coppola gave the compelling titular character a persona not shown on previous versions. Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics fame perfectly captures the pains and longings of an undead's feelings. Haunting.


LOVE SONG FOR A VAMPIRE
sung by: Annie Lennox

Come into these arms again
And lay your body down
The rhythm of this trembling heart
Is beating like a drum
It beats for you, it bleeds for you
It knows not how it sounds
For it is the drum of drums
It is the song of songs

Once I had the rarest rose
That ever deemed to bloom
Cruel winter chilled the bud
And stole my flower too soon
On loneliness, oh hopelessness
To search the end of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine

Love o love o…still falls the rain
Love o love o… still falls the night
Love o love o…damned forever

Let me be the only one
To keep you from the cold
Mow the floor of heaven is laid
The stars are bright as gold
They shine for you, they shine for you
They burn for all to see
Come into these arms again
And set this spirit free
