Tearing at a neck, my sharpened teeth pierce the meat
My warm, bloodied prey sustains my life for one more day
Oldest of souls, left behind after life
Before death, nothing but human
Indulgence in the blood, intoxicated from its drug
It warms my cold soul
Tapping the gushing sap, trickling down my throat
Rejuvenation of my body
No blood left to scab
Now it flows through my veins
Heaven I have found
Fear in my grip
Transcend beyond mortal
The sweet blood I will swallow
Draining the inner spirit
Feasting on the power
Knowing only pleasure
Human blood I devour
Ghastly beauty, look into my eyes
To reproduce with the living every century
Impregnation of the virgin
I drink the blood of the unborn
Returning to my grave
Dragging my blood drained prey
My body burns from the light
Sleeping until night
♪
In my clutch, you greet me with open arms
Soon I'll rip them off, drink the blood from the stumps
Life and death are too clear, but mankind is blind to see
Twisted path of their own mortality
Scripts of the dead
Nether worldly knowledge
Rotten fragrance lingers
Unleash the odor, I have risen
Vampire, zombie
Sucking on arteries
Body numbs
One of my sons died for your sins
Resurrect him so I can drink his blood again
