The song captures the essence of sacrifice, power, and the eternal night that comes with becoming a vampire.
Verse 1:
In the shadows where we danced,
Hearts entwined, a fleeting chance,
Two lovers we, bound by fate,
Power surged, a fateful gait.
Pre-Chorus:
But the veil of night did take,
One was lost, hearts would break,
Madness lurked, he lost his way,
Continues to haunt the night and day.
Chorus:
Eclipsed heart, torn apart,
In the dark, I play my part,
Rising from ashes, I'm reborn,
A vampire's curse, a spirit worn.
Verse 2:
His anguish brewed, a chaotic spell,
To bring you back, he wished you well,
But I cannot bear this twisted fate,
Two souls collide, before it’s too late.
Pre-Chorus:
A fight ensues beneath the stars,
Desperation, fury, and scars,
In the chaos, my life’s at stake,
Yet from the shadows, new wings I take.
Chorus:
Eclipsed heart, torn apart,
In the dark, I play my part,
Rising from ashes, I'm reborn,
A vampire's curse, a spirit worn.
Bridge:
Now I wander, lost in night,
My magic gone, but not my fight,
To guard my love, from his despair,
With every breath, I sense his care.
Verse 3:
In pursuit of power, dark and deep,
To shield my love, my heart to keep,
But shadows whisper, test my will,
In this nightmare, my thirst I’ll fill.
Chorus:
Eclipsed heart, torn apart,
In the dark, I play my part,
Rising from ashes, I'm reborn,
A vampire's curse, a spirit worn.
Outro:
So here I stand, a guardian bright,
Through the chaos, I’ll wield my might,
For love will rise, in shadow’s embrace,
An eternal bond that time won’t erase.

The song is for a vampire: the masquerade character. She started off having 2 lovers, with the 3 of them being powerful mages. One of them ends up dying, and so the other goes insane with despair, and intends to bring her back at all costs. The character is against this, a fight ensues, and the character is almost killed, but is instead saved and turned into a vampire that haunts the night. Having lost her mage powers, now the character wishes to protect her newly resurrected lover from the lover that went insane, and seeks to gain power again to rise as she did before.
