In Vein 05:14
Your milk white neck Soft skin so pure I have a fever You have the cure Your heart is racing You cannot breathe The sweat it glistens Your body seethes Darling I need a fix Tonight, I’m feeling rather weak Why is my love for you In vein my dear, in vein The lust I’m feeling My thoughts impure Can you forgive me You seem unsure Darling I need a fix Tonight, I’m feeling rather weak Why is my love for you In vein my dear, in vein Why is my love for you In vein my dear, in vein Let me in Can I devour you Oh mistress please You know that I need you Dance with me darling My arms around you A crimson dream Such sweet embrace No need to scream Darling I need a fix Tonight, I’m feeling rather weak Why is my love for you In vein my dear, in vein Why is my love for you In vein my dear, in vein Let me in Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep Watch and guard me Through the night And wake me With the morning light

She dances in the twilight A child of the moon Her spirit is so free A life of mystery Can I catch her soul Place it in a box Keep it for eternity Crimson dreams You raise me up, You give me life Crimson dreams Touching her flames As darkness falls I want to see inside her soul Hear the raven’s call And feel alive once more Crimson dreams You raise me up You give me life Crimson dreams My grave desire You take me higher Touch me and hold me Feel me and taste me As she falls into my arms Feeds my burning heart Deep inside I feel entranced Will she feel my bloody kiss Upon her tender skin Feel the blade go in Crimson dreams You raise me up You give me life Crimson dreams Don’t fade away Remain in light Crimson dreams You raise me up You give me life Crimson dreams Touching her flames As darkness falls Crimson dreams You raise me up You give me life Crimson dreams My grave desire, You take me higher

Standing in your tower Thinking of love you lost So hard to mask the pain Your beauty it fades with time Elisabeth What Have you done Daughters of darkness They cry for you They scream Bathing in their blood The virgin youth your aim It will never bring him back Your love has gone for good Elisabeth What have you done Daughters of darkness They cry for you They scream As you watch their souls descend And their skin turns ashen white You take a long hard look in the mirror But you don’t like what you see The bodies pile up around you As you try to turn back time And nothing seems to fix it Too late to turn things back Elisabeth What have you done Daughters of darkness They cry for you Elisabeth What have you done Daughters of darkness They cry for you They scream

The Hunger 04:48
I can see you Standing in the shadows Long black hair Darkness in your eyes Catch my gaze See into my soul Be my witness Will you lose control I can't take this Fever it grips me I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on let me feed Flesh so divine Such sweet innocence You don't realise What I want from you I can't take this Fever it grips me Let me show you My affliction I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on let me feed I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on Let me feed tonight I can't take this Fever it grips me I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on let me feed I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on let me feed I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on let me feed I've got the hunger One drop is all I need I've got the hunger baby Come on let me feed I've got the hunger I've got the hunger baby Let me feed tonight

I am the stranger The faceless one A raven calling The loaded gun Such cruel intentions A blackened soul Your pain my pleasure Heart like a hole Try not to show him The fear he craves It will not end well He’s dug the graves I am your nightmare Lives in your dreams No one can wake you Or hear your screams A streetlight flickers The shadows loom Footsteps get closer A date with doom Unholy pleasures Such grim delight You can’t imagine Your twisted plight My blades are sharpened The chains too strong Your screaming terror Such sweet song Try not to show him The fear he craves It will not end well He's dug the graves I am your nightmare A faceless ghoul Without reason A flesh cesspool I am your nightmare Your life my toy You are my playtime A schizoid joy I want to witness Your final breath Look in your eyes And see your death This fascination I have in torment Just like an angel Drowned in cement You did not listen To all those stories Your mama warned you Don't close your eyes I am your nightmare You won’t awaken A shrouded creature Your life forsaken I am your nightmare You’re damned to hell A long descent The last farewell I am your nightmare Lives in your dreams No one can wake you Or hear your screams

The air is crisp and icy Autumn moon so bright Forest still and silent It beckons me tonight The change is coming Cursing through my veins There's no escaping My body as it strains The beast within me Coming out tonight Your throbbing veins My sweet delight My body shaking The blood runs cold Sharp teeth awaken Lycan dreams unfold Can you resist me I smell your fear No need to run Or hide my dear The change is coming Cursing through my veins There's no escaping My body as it strains The beast within me Coming out to play I smell your blood It's time to slay The beast within me Running wild tonight Darkness is unbound Giving you a fright Total transformation Teeth and claws and fur Devilish intentions A killing connoisseur Fill my heart with silver Shoot me dead my dear When my time is over You won't shed a tear The change is coming Cursing through my veins There's no escaping My body as it strains The beast within me Coming out tonight Your throbbing veins My sweet delight The beast within me Coming out to play I smell your blood Its time to slay The beast within me Running wild tonight Darkness is unbound Giving you a fright

Dark Cities 03:53
My mind is racing Thoughts black and cold These times are changing A future foretold Can I survive this A world of pain Am I to struggle Is it in vain Dark cities Black times No way to exit This life of mine Trapped in my head No time to breathe This curse upon me That I bequeath Dark cities Black times My soul is broken Along my spine Dark cities Black times No way to exit This life of mine The sky is raging Damage is done Fall into darkness Beyond the sun A lonely planet Without a chance Is this reality Funeral dance Dark cities Black times My soul is broken Along my spine Dark cities Black times No way to change Or reassign Dark cities Black times No way to exit This life of mine
9.
At the midnight hour Veils of tears await Memories so grave A trick to seal your fate Time to light the candles Let the incense burn Spirits now are calling Time to take your turn Dance with me into darkness Play my wicked game And dance into darkness A dangerous obsession Malevolence in mind What sweet release they seek Your love for them so blind Dance with me into darkness Play my wicked game And dance into darkness You gotta Dance with me into darkness Spell the demons name And dance into darkness Going straight to hell Ready for absolution The spirit is unbound The life you had before you No longer to be found Dance with me into darkness Play my wicked game And dance into darkness Cannot break the circle Too late you made your choice The game was an illusion And now its found a voice Dance with me into darkness Play my wicked game And dance into darkness You gotta Dance with me into darkness Spell the demons name And dance into darkness Going straight to hell
10.
Heaven comes to he who waits But I know I'm getting nowhere And all the deeds of yesterday Have really helped to pave my way Though there's no one near me now How come everyone can touch me You see the torture on my brow Relates to neither here nor now Watch me bleed, bleed forever Watch me bleed, bleed forever Although my face is straight, it lies My body feels the pain and cries Here the table is not bare I am full but feeling empty For all the warmth it feels so cold For one so young I feel so old Watch me bleed, bleed forever Watch me bleed, bleed forever It's not allowed to be unkind But still the hate lives in my mind I'll make no noise, I'll hide my pain I'll close my eyes, I won't complain I'll lie right back and take the blame And try to tell myself I'm living And when it's all been said or done Where do I go? Where do I run? What's left of me or anyone When we've denied the hurting? And when it's all been said or done Where do I go? Where do I run? What's left of me or anyone When we've denied the hurting? Watch me bleed, bleed forever Watch me bleed, bleed forever And all the deeds of yesterday Have really helped to pave my way Watch me bleed, bleed forever Watch me bleed, bleed forever And all the deeds of yesterday Have really helped to pave my way

Epilogue 04:12
The night it fades And the end is near I feel my veins They burn inside My skin it crawls As black turns grey The urge it fades I must retreat My journey starts A long goodbye The forest looms Across the hills A glint of light As shadows form The castle gates They draw me in Across the valley As daybreak comes Chasing shadows A race for time I must escape And save myself The cellar doors My tomb awaits Farewell my love I shall return To your embrace Another night Farewell my love I shall return To your embrace Another night
