Carmilla Divine empress of my heart You reign over the kingdom in my mind and bless this land with your lips of wine I take a knee at your holy throne and swear featly to your name, for I am shackled in your power and I can never run away. Carmilla My goddess of love and war You invade my body with foreign life and cut my soul with your perfect knife No strength have I to resist your might For one glance, I'd surrender my sentry post Your enemies fall upon your mercy but it is I who must beg most Carmilla Great lover of gods and men You were born in virtue from Zeus's head but you take a swine to your bridal bed I am doomed to watch in vain for I had not the slightest chance but I weep as though I lost you as you stumble in your trance Carmilla Black temptress of demons How I curse your grace and artless charms that lead you into a monster's arms Are you his master or his slave? Who is the darkness and who is the light? Will your fiery heart explode with rage when he leaves you in the night? Carmilla Beauty bound to thy beast Shrouded in white, like a ghost of yourself forsaking my heart for his towers of wealth I shall never know your ardent kiss, for my pleas are but in vain My queen, the choice is yours alone — but eternally shall my love remain
