Darkness is in Love With You (strings version)

Story Behind The Song

this song originally was recorded and conceived as a rock song. the recording and mix of the rock version ended earlier than anticipated and with the extra time a piano version was recorded, oddly, mostly in 7/4 time. strings were then added arranged and conducted by Alejandro Teran and now most people prefer this version to the rock version. i'm ok with that.

Lyrics

she shivers cold.
and even i can't reach her.
a shadow took hold.
but the sparkles still show.

darkness is in love with you
but i love you more.

it turns on like sin.
the seduction is piercing.
it shows on her skin.
and i can taste her bleeding.
