GABRIELLE
For so many years, we’ve shared this path together
Kindred spirits in search of history
For you, the Holy Grail is where we come from
But it’s a different road I crave these days for me
You dwell so on the dawn of our creation
In search of ghosts from our mythology
For now, the wonders that the world can offer
Mean more to me than ancient family trees
To hear the waves pound the timbers of a schooner
Fighting up the coastline of Cape Horn
To travel in the shadows of the longboats
To where the giants of the Arctic Ice were born
The dangers of the deep, dark Congo River
Where the crocodile hunts and the python strikes
To watch another predator in action
Could rejuvenate some meaning in your life
The thrill to hunt in such exotic places
I can almost taste those beauties in Siam
The brown-skinned boys of Mikonos and Rangoon
The shy Chinese behind their painted fans
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the Northern Lights
And of all the things about you
That I’m going to miss
Is the bond we formed together
Through this Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world’s out there
Mystery calls and I can’t resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
LESTAT
I did not give you the Dark Gift
so you could turn and walk away from me.
GABRIELLE
I gave you the gift of life
knowing that someday you would walk away from me!
The wellspring of my strength unrestricted
There’s so little I could fail to endure
I could face a trek across the Himalayas
Survive the freezing mists of Scottish moors
My need to go is hard to fight
I want to gaze upon this world
Just like the Northern Lights
But of all the things about you
That I’m going to miss
Is the bond we’ve formed together
Through this Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world’s out there
Mystery calls and I can’t resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss
My son so dear, the world’s out there
Mystery calls and I can’t resist
But you and I have memories
Bound together by the Crimson Kiss!
