"**Blood & Fire**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their third album *Bloody Kisses*, released in 1993. This song deals with trying to rekindle the love with her while ending the threat of being set on fire by them.

It is strange that three out of four Type O members hated this song and were cringed when they played this song. Sal Abruscato said it sounded "too Eighties." Regarding romantic theme of this song, Josh Silver said acquiring romance doesn't really have a place in music. Peter Steele, who liked this song, gave him something special as he had sexual desire for smoke and fire.

## Lyrics

No more nights

of blood & fire

No more nights

of blood & fire

Yeah I always thought we'd be together

And that our love could not be better

Well with no warning you were gone

I still don't know what went wrong

You don't know what I've been through

Just want to put my love in you

No more nights

of blood & fire

No more nights

of blood & fire

All those special memories

Now I bleed for you - burn for me

Perhaps I was just dreaming

When I think these things had real meaning

You don't know what I've been through

Just want to put my love in you

Love eternal

Lust infernal

Bleeding, burning

Needing, yearning

Moi cherie

You remain

A mystery to me

I see your face in every flame

With no answers I have only myself to blame

Of all the women I have known - they're not you

I'd rather be alone

No more nights

of blood & fire

No more nights

of blood & fire

No more nights

of blood & fire

No more nights

of blood & fire
