Der Vampyr

I thought it was I hunting the shadows

But I have become their pray

I felt them move through my soul

And now they are wearing my face

I can see in their eyes

When the lights fade and die

That the gates of heaven are closed

I can see in their eyes

When the lights fade and die

That, in the end, we all die alone

And it pulls me down

It pulls me down

The ferryman's bell begins to sound

And I drown

A sister of God sings in prayer

For the pallor Venus tangled in sheets

She rides the threshold of the unknown

And I can no longer speak
