Indulge me if you will my friends For I've a tale to spin Of all the vampires on this earth Of my unholy kin I am the oldest one by far Marius is my name When I was born it was the time The Roman empire reigned When he was born it was the time the Roman empire reigned And like you mortals as you age The weaker you become For us is quite the opposite The years just make us strong But like you we feel pain and loss And suffer heartbreak too We ponder our existence In the same way as you do We ponder our existence In the same way as you do SongtexteIn the myth of your creation There's poor Adam and sweet Eve Temptation and a serpent And the devil's apple tree We have Enkil and Akasha An Egyptian king and queen The mother and the father Of we pale and bloody fiends The mother and the father Of we pale and bloody fiends Marius tell us more Marius tell us more Tell us more, tell us more Marius, tell us more Four thousand years ago before the pyramids were built Enkil and Akasha ruled with wise benevolence A splendor of Egyptian life was prosperous and good But in their kingdom enemies were present And so it happened that a demon came in to the town And took a liking to the home of some unfortunate Who pleaded to wise Enkil for his council and advise Before his home this demon desecrated The king in all the faith decided to engage the ghoul In hopes his evil ways by chance he might dissuade The queen would not allow her king to face this deed alone And in her choice the hand of fate was played The demon tossed the furniture, malevolence abounded And while they pleaded to be heard they found themselves surrounded Assassins of the enemy, their collective knifes gleaming Hacked and stabbed the royal pair and left the bodies bleeding As they lay dying on the ground a poltergeist did swoop And entered in the wounds of their illustrious monarchy Their reanimated bodies bore an terrifying glow Alive to them but dead to you and me The demon in their veins, they gained a supernatural power But one that left them sorely lacking human traits No longer to partake of food and drink or bear a child Their hunger only blood could satiate They could not face the blazing sun It's magnficence was deadly But the power of gods and eternal life Is a simply wonderful medley In the sands of Egypt to this day Dwell Enkil and Akasha The rulers of the vampire race Our beloved mother and father Aus Songtexte Mania
