"Tainted Blood" lyrics - BLUE OYSTER CULT

We danced among the mortals
Blind to their despair
As the sweet scent of certainty
Fills the midnight air

I offer first taste
To my love
As is always
Tainted blood
She cries and dies
My whole world fades away

No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years
Put a stake through my heart
Throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes
To end this endless night
Without her
There's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross
Wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her
Eternity is misery

Throughout the many years
Our lives were oh-so sweet
But this tainted blood has taken everything from me
No place for me within this world
The dance is done
No reason to remain
You were the only one

No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years
Put a stake through my heart
Throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes
To end this endless night
Without her
There's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross
Wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her
Eternity is misery

No one to wipe my bloody tears
The life we had for 200 years
Put a stake through my heart
Throw me out in the light
Do whatever it takes
To end this endless night
Without her
There's nothing for me
Make the sign of the cross
Wrap me in silver chains
Do whatever it takes to end my pain
Without her
Eternity is misery

Put a stake through my heart
Throw me out in the light

There's nothing
Nothing for me

Make the sign of the cross
Wrap me in silver chains

Put a stake through my heart
Throw me out in the light

Make the sign of the cross
Wrap me in silver chains

Put a stake through my heart
Throw me out in the light
