The Crimson Kiss
[Gabrielle]
For so many years, we've shared this path together
Kindred spirits in search of history
For you, the holy grail is where we come from
But it's a different road I crave these days for me
You dwell so on the dawn of our creation
And search for ghosts from our mythology
But for now, the wonders that the world can offer
Mean more to me than ancient family trees
To hear the waves pound the timbers of a snow [?]
Fighting off the coastline of Cape Horn
To travel in the shadow of the long boats
To where the giants of the artic were born
Where the dangers in the deep dark Congo river
Where the crocodile hunts and the python strikes
To watch another predator in action
Could rejuvenate some meaning in your life
A thrill to hunt in such exotic places
I can almost taste those beauties in Siam
The brown skin boys of Mykonos and Rangoon
The shy Chinese behind their painted fans
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the northern lights
And of all the things about you that I'm going to miss
Is the bond we formed together through this crimson kiss
My son, so dear, the world's out there
Mystery calls and I can't resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the crimson kiss
[Lestat, spoken]
I did not give you the dark gift so you could turn and walk away from me
[Gabrielle, spoken]
I gave you the gift of life, knowing that some day you would walk away from me!
[Gabrielle]
With the well spring of my strength unrestricted
There's so little I could fail to endure
I could face a treck across the Himilayas
Survive the freezing mists of Scottich moors
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the northern lights
And of all the things about you that I'm going to miss
Is the bond we formed together through this crimson kiss
My son, so dear, the world's out there
Mystery calls and I can't resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the crimson kiss
My son, so dear, the world's out there
Mystery calls and I can't resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the crimson kiss
