The Thirst
How can this be This devil leaves, and God abandons me I'm left here looking at these flames That too could set me free The vessel that I used to be Is tainted now and ripped apart Bathed in madness by the fiend Who's robbed me of my human heart To contemplate this crimson hell Is more than I can stand Did I sin so to seal my fate Offered up by Hell's own hand My skin that once was golden brown Is cold and white as winter snow These evil points that pierce my gums These lacquered nails that seem to glow But wait, did I invite this fate This invitation from the damned This introduction to the dark Was never in my mortal plan And if indeed this cruel joke SongtexteWas somehow in my destiny Should I embrace its wicked ways And haunt the night for what I need chorus To die in such a way And simply to be born again A thing of terrifying strength A bringer of bewitching pain And blood become the drug I need Let blood fulfill the thirst in me The thirst that sends them to their graves The thirst for that which I will crave The treasure of his countless kills The plunder of his fangs I'll spend throughout eternity On this immortal man For now I am a thing of darkness Thrown from this ungodly swoon Immortal from a savage kiss Kept from my eventual tomb My life is gone, but I'll live on Dead but still alive Lost to those who loved me once A demon now inside No fear of crawling creatures now Of ___ slime and swarming rats Let them embrace their new messiah And speak of the Vampire Lestat For I did not invite this fate This invitation from the damned This introduction to the dark Was never in my mortal plan And if indeed this cruel joke Was somehow in my destiny Then I'll embrace its wicked ways And haunt the night for what I need [repeat chorus] This thirst, this thirst is strong It overpowers all right and wrong The thirst, I feel it coming on The thirst, I feel it coming on The thirst, I feel it coming on Aus Songtexte Mania
