Yellow eyes flicker
A hand darts beneath me
Let me be a slave
Fully onto these
I come bearing death
Marked in your scent
Ever upon you now
All our needs are met
Listen to the light slumber
As a carcass bleeds within
I am bonded with your forever
You know where I've been
Release me from falsehood
Drive your teeth into my flesh
All the while I hold your hand
As you tell me you know best
I rip into your soul
I force myself into your skin
I mix my blood with yours
I draw out the truth within
Giving into scorching heat
Overtaken by a deeper sin
I crawl, I crave the excitement
From the beast within
Release me from falsehood
Drive your teeth into my flesh
All the while I hold your hand
As you tell me you know best
I rip into your soul
I force myself into your skin
I mix my blood with yours
I draw out the truth within
I call you more than master
We are closer than one
I bleed onto my own chest
As your devour my soul

Make Me A Vampire (live)

An eternal lust
A lust for eternity
Why is death a must?
Fleeting immortality
Never shall I trust
Religious authority
The promise of dust
Lack a sense of clarity
Peering from atop a spire
My time has grown dire
Sifting through a midnight mire
Make me a vampire
Delving into caves
Nocturnal society
Lurking through the graves
Increasing anxiety
Unnatural craves
Inducing impiety
This hunger depraves
Nearing insanity
Peering from atop a spire
My time has grown dire
Sifting through a moon lit mire
Make me a vampire

Nocturnal Sun (live)
05:24

Masked in glamour macabre
A seductive angel undaubed
Like a crow perched scowling
Upon the frenzying of dogs
Slowly the angel sheds her wings
Her eyes sweetly alluring
Purposefully stalling
The anticipated unveiling
Thousand flashes flicker
Like dying stars
Explosively succumb
To this nocturnal sun
Moving with violent grace
Gliding around the stage
Unyielding stare captivates
Her feeble-minded prey.
Softly the black feathers fall
The bewitching crow bares all
Howling beasts beckon and call
Foolish creatures easy to enthrall
These wretched mongrels
Undeserving of my angel
Yet I remain fearful
That neither am I
Thousand flashes flicker
Like dying stars
Explosively succumb
To this nocturnal sun
Moving with violent grace
Gliding around the stage
Unyielding stare captivates
Her feeble-minded prey.

As soon as the sun hides
Behind mountain cliffs
I end my time of bides
With body moving stiff
In shadows I confide
Upon a mist I sift
Seeking a living bride
Tainting one more mistress
Commanding from outside
She hears the serpent's hiss
So willingly she died
For but a lustful kiss
Just one bite for tonight, my dear
For the sun has begun, I fear
Just a prick to stay sick, don't tear
I will rise when it dies, I swear
Tomorrow's sun has died
Without so much a trace
Gently my body glides
Reviving youthful grace
Without a sense of pride
She follows at my pace
Now my alluring slave
Corrupting hearts so pure
Providing what I crave
My undying bloodwhore
Leads victims to my grave
Feasting for evermore.
Just one bite for tonight, my dear
For the sun has begun, I fear
Just a prick to stay sick, don't tear
I will rise when it dies, I swear
With a heart grown dim
My soul extinguished
Yet passion is ignited
By his will
Just one bite for tonight, my dear
For the sun has begun, I fear
Just a prick to stay sick, don't tear
I will rise when it dies, I swear

I saw you standing alone
I waited a long, long time
I yearn to call you my own
By tonight you will be mine
I covet from a distance
I've watched from inside my car
I will meet no resistance
I strike when you leave the bar
Now you're turning blue
They will never find you
Clever upon the ground
The dead never make a sound
The taste of blood makes my whole
I rub it into my skin
I cherish your battered skull
I keep it hidden within
Now you're turning blue
They will never find you
Clever upon the ground
The dead never make a sound
I submit to desires
Your fragile body severed
I scatter in a mire
I will love you forever
Now you're turning blue
They will never find you
Clever upon the ground
The dead never make a sound

The Dark Descent (live)

Pain leaks from the cistern down below
A light binded to an orb's cursed glow
Banished to this world long ago
To return I must rebuild what I know
I must extend the life that I lack
Down these halls the lantern paints a dim path
For those whose fates end on my rack
Their blood seeping into the castle's cracks
Paint the man
Cut the lines
Cut the flesh
Let the blood spill
(Let it come)
Rose pedals and blood intertwined
Screams of agony muddled with wine
A sea of stars that know my crimes
I have become a monster in their eyes.
Beyond the desert, beyond the sea
Dreams of impossible geometry
Where the girl screams her final plea
The ghosts of the forest chase after me
Paint the man
Cut the lines
Cut the flesh
Let the blood spill
(Let it come)
Aged not by time, but be anguish
The longing for my world departed
Trapped in an unsophisticated era
Among inferior creatures
The horrors of Brennenburg are now well-travelled
The footsteps in water remain unseen
And the bellows of the brazen bull
Admitting limbs and lies
All contributed to filling my vitae
An enemy now hangs in time
An ornament to despise.

The smell of pines is ever so fresh
A calming scent with every breath
The smell of pines is ever so dense
Covers the stench of your pale flesh
I see the moon reflecting in your eyes
I gaze into them one last time
Reminiscing when love was in its prime
Holding you close, clenching you tight
Beginning to cry
The smell of pines is ever so fresh
A calming scent with every breath
The smell of pines is ever so dense
Covers the stench of your pale flesh
When your hole is dug
You'll blend into the mist
Amber sparks faded
I leave you with one last kiss
