I've gone mad
From the sound of your heart
I've gone mad
From the feel of your touch
Your lovely eyes
Your loving smile
Your warm embrace

Darling, stay here by my side
'Til the edge of night
Howling in the shadows until we feel the morning's first light

Come to me, and calm your restless heart
Life eternal awaits within my arms
Death's darkness is bitter
Mine is so sweet

Cast aside the petty fears of day
Just one more kiss will take them all away
Leave your world of sunshine
Step into mine

Here beneath the starry sky above
Bloom the seeds of an everlasting love
Sown in endless sorrow
Watered by blood
This poem was inspired by poor translations of "Kuchizuke (TV Size)" by BUCK-TICK, the first opening theme of Shiki.  It can be sung to the same melody although the meter doesn't always match the original Japanese.

I've been working on this one for awhile because I just couldn't make my original plan for it work.  There wasn't enough space for the singer to lament the downsides of his condition while still tempting the target of his affections.  I listened to the song again with a better translation and jammed this out.
