Ok, the latest marketing exec to hit a musical homerun is the one that paired the new Max Payne trailer with Marilyn Manson’s “If I was your Vampire”.  The song fits perfectly with the dark world of Max Payne.  The scene in the trailer where the Valkrie pulls the guy out of the window is cool enough to make me want to see this movie.

The trailers on Youtube have had the vocals removed (they are still in some of the TV commercials) and that is a shame because it takes away some of the effectiveness of the song.  Here are the lyrics for Manson’s “If I Was Your Vampire”.

6 a.m. Christmas morning.
No shadows,
No reflections here.
Lying cheek to cheek
In your cold embrace.

So soft and so tragic
As a slaughterhouse.
You press the knife
Against your heart.
And say,
“I love you, so much you must kill me now.”

I love you
So much
You must kill me now.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We’ll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Digging your smile apart
With my spade tongue.
The hole is where the heart is.
We built this tomb together,
And I won’t fill it alone.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We’ll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart,
This is where it starts…
Blood-stained sheets
In the shape of your heart,
This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

6:19 and I know I’m ready
Drive me off the mountain.
You’ll burn,
I’ll eat your ashes.
The impossible wheels seducing
Our corpse.

If I was your vampire,
Certain as the moon,
Instead of killing time,
We’ll have each other
Until the sun.
If I was your vampire,
Death waits for no one.
Hold my hands
Across your face,
Because I think
Our time has come.

Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.
Beyond the pale
Everything is black
No turning back.

This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

This is where it starts.
This is where it will end.
Here comes the moon again.

Here comes the moon again

Here comes the moon again
