[Verse 1]
6AM, Christmas morning
No shadows, no reflections here
Lying cheek to cheek, in your cold embrace

So soft and so tragic, as a slaughterhouse
You press the knife against your heart
And say that, "I love you so much, you must kill me now"
"I love you so much, you must kill me, now"

[Chorus]
If I was your vampire, certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other until the sun

If I was your vampire, death waits for no one
Hold my hands across your face
Because I think our time has come

[Verse 2]
Digging your smile apart with my spade tongue
And the hole is where the heart is
We built this tomb together, I won't fill it alone

Beyond the pale
Everything's black, no turning back

[Chorus]
If I was your vampire, certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other until the sun

If I was your vampire, death waits for no one
Hold my hands across your face
Because I think our time has come

[Bridge]
Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart
This is where it starts...

Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart
This is where it starts, this is where it will end
Here comes the moon again

[Verse 3]
6:19 and I know I'm ready
Drive me off the mountain
You'll burn and I'll eat your ashes
The impossible wheels seducing our corpse

[Chorus]
If I was your vampire, certain as the moon
Instead of killing time
We'll have each other until the sun

If I was your vampire, death waits for no one
Hold my hands across your face
Because I think our time has come

Beyond the pale
Everything's black, no turning back
Beyond the pale
Everything's black, no turning back

[Outro]
This is where it starts, this is where it will end
Here comes the moon again
Here comes the moon again

This is where it starts, this is where it will end
Here comes the moon again
Here comes the moon again

Here comes the moon again
Here comes the moon again

Brian Hugh Warner who is better known under his stage name of Marilyn Manson is a musician, painter, actor, multimedia artist, and former music journalist. His stage name is a combination of the names of two American icons, actress Marilyn Monroe and multiple murder conspiracy convict Charles Manson.

I picked that (Marilyn Manson) as the fakest stage name of all to say that this is what show business is, fake. Marilyn Monroe wasn’t even her real name, Charles Manson isn’t his real name, and now, I’m taking that to be my real name. But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best. As long as you know everything’s a lie, you can’t hurt yourself.

—Marylin Manson
