Let's Be Vampires

from You Are Alive by Nova Soon

lyrics

One summer, shy in a moonlit car,
five years old,
I asked my mother, ‘Will I die?’
Her answer ripped the night:
‘Someday.’

Forward in time, at a costume ball;
a chandelier-shadow crowd;
I fell in love in vampire robes,
and in the snow, while riding home,
we made a vow: starting now…

Let’s be vampires in the time we have.
Let’s fly and laugh.
Grieve in the glowing light;
leap and death-defy;
and drink all the life that we can.

And if we leave bite-marks of love
in memories wide and far,
we’ll live on in a million ways;
the echoes of our spoken names
won’t fade.

Let’s be vampires in the time we have.
Let’s fly and laugh.
Grieve in the glowing light;
leap and death-defy;
and drink all the life that we can.

Though, some mornings,
we feel like hiding,
hollow-cried and time-worn,
we keep rising.
It’s the only way
we’ll prove my mother wrong,
and live on. And live on.

Let’s be vampires.
Let’s be vampires.
