Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you feel safe
When you feel warm
That's when I rise
That's when I crawl
[Verse 2]
Gliding on mist
Hardly a sound
Bringing the kiss
Evils abound
[Verse 3]
In the dead of night
Love bites, love bites
In the dead of night
Love bites
[Verse 4]
Into your room
Where in deep sleep
There you lie still
To you I creep
[Verse 5]
Then I descend
Close to your lips
Across you I bend
You smile as I sip
[Verse 6]
Now you are mine
In my control
One taste of your life
And I own your soul
[Verse 7]
Softly you stir
Gently you moan
Lust's in the air
Wake as I groan
[Verse 8]
In the dead of night
Love bites, love bites
In the dead of night
Love bites...
[Verse 9]
In the dead of night
Love bites, love bites
In the dead of night
[Verse 10]
Love bites you
Invites you
To feast in the night
Excites you
Delights you
It drains you to white
Love bites...
[Verse 11]
You knew at first sight
You'd enjoy my attack
That with my first bite
There'd be no turning back
[Verse 12]
So come in my arms
I strike any hour
I will return
To trap and devour
[Verse 13]
In the dead of night
Love bites, love bites
In the dead of night
Love bites (Love bites)
[Verse 14]
In the dead of night
Love bites, love bites
In the dead of night
Love bites
[Verse 15]
Love bites...
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites...
[Verse 16]
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
Love bites
