I know a story   That I'd really like to tell you   You might not believe me   But I swear every word is true      It sounds like one of those   That you normally read   In strange and cheap magazines   But this one is different   You can take it from me   Because the person it tells of is me      Moonlight   You're my only reason to live [tonight]   Stir my passion, stir my instincts   Cast my shadow on the wall      Moonlight   You're the only bride that I need [by my side]   Feed my senses, feed my hunger   Feed my spirit, feed my soul      When I was a young boy   I felt I did not have the same   Ideas as the others   So at first I was hiding in shame      Something was calling me outside   In cold and moonlit nights   So I had to accept I possessed   Some really strange passions   But the strangest obsession   Was a certain preference for blood      Moonlight   You're my only reason to live [tonight]   Stir my passion, stir my instincts   Cast my shadow on the wall      Moonlight   You're the only bride that I need [by my side]   Feed my senses, feed my hunger   Feed my spirit, feed my soul      You all know who I am   You meet me every now and then   Before the day breaks      My guise is not what it seems   I'll haunt you in your dreams   Until the day breaks      You deny me in daylight   But you're afraid every night   Until the day breaks      I'll haunt you like your shadow      I'm your illegal child   That you're trying to hide   I'm your secret lover   You're trying to keep undercover   The black page in your past   That she'll find out at last   I'm every sleepless night   I'm your hopeless fight   I'm the promise you did break   I'm the truth that you can't fake   I'm your conscience, your fear   So I will always be here      I'll haunt you like your shadow      Moonlight   You're my only reason to live [tonight]   Stir my passion, stir my instincts   Cast my shadow on the wall      Moonlight   You're the only bride that I need [by my side]   Feed my senses, feed my hunger   Feed my spirit, feed my soul
