"Drunk on Shadows" by H.I.M (Performed by Santiago)

I walk up to the mic Alright ladies... Armand... enjoy.
The house band begins playing as I remove my tie and throw it into the audience. My voice deep as I sing into the mic.

Hiding underneath
The veil of broken dreams
We find her weeping

I grab the mic from the stand and walk over near Tiffany undoing the buttons on my shirt as I walk.

On her once white wings
She will be carrying the weight of our deeds
And she bleeds for love
Forever gone

Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
Killing ourselves a kiss at a time
As I sing my shirt falls off my shoulders and I throw it to Tiffany
Devils dance while angels smile
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie

I walk back to the center of the stage and remove my shoes tossing them back toward the band.

Finding souls to feed
The nightside of eden
We see the struggling
For her love's
Last breath and walk off

I walk to the other side of the stage toward Sybelle.

Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
Killing ourselves a kiss at a time
I undo my pants, they slide down my legs and I stand there in just my black silk boxers.
Devils dance while angels smile
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie

I toss my pants to Sybelle and give her a wink

She's blinded by the fear
Of life and death and everything in between
We smile when she cries a river of tears
A mirror where we see nothing but a reflection of heaven too far away

I walk down off the stage as I continue to sing, walking amongst the tables over to the bar.

Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
Killing ourselves a kiss at a time

I walk up to Armand and look directly in his eyes, a smile on my lips as I sing.
Devils dance while angels smile
Drunk on shadows and lost in a lie
So alive

I kiss Armand then turn and run back up onto the stage
Drunk on shadows
So alive

Drunk on shadows
So alive

Drunk on shadows

As the song ends I but the mic back in the stand and bow my head.
