lyrics

Its the summer of blood, long hot days
spent hiding from the sun

hunger of the wait, anticipating dusk
when dressed in black to the streets I take

insatiable need , and a cool white moon
flying over the Orion to feast

just two or three, deep drinks take me,
beyond dope or ecstasy


Looks like I've come full circle, I'm not living but un-dead
at dawn I sleep and through the night I creep
their heartbeats pounding in my head

well the lightings just right , and the soundtracks so nice
fine amongst the humans tonight

there's a fleeting heat, in a heart usually cold
gone with dawns grey streaks

when the darkness fades, and "In Dreams" drifts away
sobering up for the dreaded day

Looks like I've come full circle, I'm not living but un-dead
at dawn I sleep and through the night I creep
their heartbeats pounding in my head

Looks like I've come full circle,

then home, to be alone
with my centuries old hate

in my crypt, black candle lit
burns my disdain for the human race

i must feed, their lives I need
harvesting my eternity

but they're biting flies, filth and lies
a plague that spreads with modernity

I laugh at their cyber trash
and ceaseless hollow opinions

with hands of ice, hypnotizing eyes
cruelly control my minions

lowly rats, poisonous asps
crawling sewers of degradation

one by one, i drain their blood,
in time I'll clear the infestation
then I can die
then I can die
