lyrics

Well as I take a draw
Of the blood from her throat
Pools in a red colored moat
As the sun rises now
I hide in umbra and shade
The darkness comes to my aid
I sneak back underground
Wait till the next night rounds

And I will strike my prey
And take their lives for my own
It's all I’ve got
You’ll try to hunt me down
The throngs will accrue

Little do you know, I knew love once too

These worms should eat all my flesh
I’ve been dead for so long
Older than rhyme and song
Now I feel next to nothing
Except desire for more
A monster to abhor
Although I cannot regret
I must exist in sunset

And I will float on by on my
Pitch-black wings through the sky
With my ghastly sigh
After all this time I forgot how to be like you
Is it all my fault?

Or are you cursed too?

Spread my arms
Feel that burn from the sun as it’s coming now
Take me away
Higher than I’ve ever flown
Or deeper than I’ve gone
I don’t care

I can't live by blood anymore.
