1. THE VAMPIRE

The world is a sinister place
With evil thoughts and evil deeds
This is a history, a dream but still a reflection
Of what this world has become

Obsessed by death and cruelty, my mind can never rest
Until I’ve had my taste of blood and putrid, rotting flesh
Driven by desire to corrupt and desecrate
I curse the name of God and man to feed my burning hate

[Chorus]
My one desire
To quench the flame of life
Here in my empire
Where I am deified

With your fear and outrage I will never die
In the extreme I find my peace, in death I feel alive
I wear my solitude with pride and yearn for infamy
I want to be the incarnate of pure obscenity

[Chorus]
My one desire
To quench the flame of life
Here in my empire
Where I am deified

I roam the ancient cemeteries, making love to death
But I’ve come to crave a different thrill, to kill someone myself
I shall watch you agonize and die before my eyes
And finally I’ll know just what it’s like to take a life

[Chorus]
My one desire
To quench the flame of life
Here in my empire
Where I am deified
