1. Transformation

Oh, how I long for sleep on these endless days and nights of horror.

Days so wretched I wish to hang above the floor.

If there is a presence to witness my suffering, end my mortal pain and bring me solace from a god above.

I squander for a rope to tie a double hitch, along with a noose to break my neck with no oxygen to breathe.

I lay there still for what seemed to be an eternity.

Savior you've kissed me with the gift of death, soon I will lay in a grave and rot in coffin.

I AM ALIVE

2. Suffering

My attempts to cease my existence have failed

A lifeless body, in which hope was impaled

I’m dying… slowly… in agonizing pain

Something else I shall become… and reborn again

I return as a wicked creature of the night

A vampire I am… in full glory and might

A dark flame, now burns deep inside

From the day light, in the shadows I hide

Nocturnal energy flows throw me

Ghosts and demons I am able to see

Farewell, forever, my human past

From its memories I can now rest

Feeling such an enormous strenght

I grew fangs which have deadly lenght

Leaving my coffin, and looking at the moon

I know my wanderings will begin soon...



3. First Blood

Soon enough I came to realize

A new hunger was about to rise

Unable for me to disguise

It would be the mortals’ demise

A crave for blood, a forbidden thirst

In order to fullfill it, I had to kill first

I took a young woman, deep into the woods

I drank her vital force, and it felt so good

My new nature is the one of the undead

We need to subsist on that liquid, so red

My soul is damned, and painted black

It’s a cursed path, with no turning back

I curse God, who has become my foe

He banned me from Heaven, that much I know

The angels above, are no match for my kind

I rule the night, with my wicked mind.


4. The Hunt

Once, every week, I search for prey

Enjoying the hunt, a game to play

The darkness is my eternal ally

Someone will release one last feeble cry

Those who dare to walk alone

They will soon be dead and gone

My bestian fangs rip through their skin

Their blood is mine, again I win

Sometimes I sneak into a home

Taking with me, a daughter and a son

Or a miserable soul, who belongs to no one

Their despair and fear… knowing the end is near

My victims’ screams… a delightful song

I whisper to them… this won’t take long

Let yourself be consumed, give yourself to me

Life is just a burden, and I am setting you free.


5. Addiction

I am captured by this nocturnal dance

Don’t want to be relased from such trance

I adore to kill, it’s an irresistible thrill

But sexual urges I also need to fill

So I seduce women, speaking nice words

No innocent… they are trapped into my world

I take them, in intense carnal lust

A brief awake, from my morbid rust

After passionate sweat and tears

They whisper love to my ears

As a reward, I kill them in their sleep

Avoiding the spectacle of seeing them weep

Their naked bodies, one last time I kiss

Some of them, I will always miss

Then it’s time for the river of blood

Flowing to my mouth like a flood.


6. Creation

Nevertheless, not all the victims die

A few chosen ones with me will fly

Forever, my orders they shall follow

For all eternity, built in sorrow

Once every year, a mortal I can transform

Into a vampire, before the last mourn

It’s up to me to make this decision

Who will I save from my final infliction

Beautiful women become my dark concubines

But only if they have rebellious minds

I loathe stupidity, and boredom as well

Eternity can be a gift from hell

Some men become my brothers

Sharing with me rituals and horrors

They need to be loyal and brave

To join my Clan of the nameless grave. 


7. Survival

Months, years, decades go by

And this truth I cannot deny

My foggy gruesome existence

Is an unbearable pestilence

I wish I had the ability to cry

If only I could simply… die

This eternity is empty and grey

It’s useless to remain and to stay

I am not dead and I’m not alive

Simply programmed to survive

Cannot submit myself to the sun

I know the pain of its burn

Travelling through different lands

Buried by timeless sands

I always feel so cold

My spirit is growing old

8. Isolation

I feel completely detached

A stranger, so wretched

My thoughts are oblivious

Depressing and tedious

Yes, I do have followers

But no friends or lovers

I don’t belong to anyone

All my faith is gone

I am from nowhere

But I guess it’s only fair

I’m a bloody fruit of sin

Just like all of my kin

Can’t even see my own reflection

Vampires deserve no affection

I no longer want this crown

Just simply… to shut down

9. Betrayal

The night of the long fangs arrived

Those who I spared, and kept alive

My brothers of the night

Betrayed me under my sight

The hand that bites who feeds

Such is the case, within my breed

They violently stole my throne

From it, I was viciously thrown

They pushed me, laughed and hissed

Saying that I will not be missed

Humilliated, I left my domain

To my coffin I will not return again

More alone than ever

A macabre vagrant… forever

What can I do, next?

I’m a vulture who cannot rest

10. Alone

To me, there is no fate

Not even made of hate

No yesterday or tomorrow

Just a giant night of sorrow

I’m trapped inside Eternity’s walls

There’s no exit, to where I can crawl

I’m sick of interpreting this role

Craving for a hole, wishing to fall

This is too much time to be alone

Searching for another soul

I’m just an immortal foul

An abnotious hopeless ghoul

A damned cycle, made of never

A cursed word, named Forever

I keep searching for a door

I don’t want this… anymore


11. The Light

As I Embrace the End

An irresistible calling dances in my head

From the astral body, made of fiery red

Source of life, it will devour this world

As a dramatic opposite of a black hole

No one escapes from the order of things

And how we are connected through its strings

The Ancient Ones had this notion

And accepted Fate without emotion

Such ungrateful beings many of us are

Just microscopic cells, neither close or far

From everything and nothing

Among billions of stars, dead or sparking

The time has come for my final goodbye

I shall embrace the end, no reason to cry

I close my eyes, stepping out into the sunlight

Which will release me from this eternal night…
