Carpathian Desire

Silent castle by the sea upon the cliffs at bay

Moon, she shines and by her beams enshrouds these ancient walls

Moon, she sings of her pain, of her tears and woes

And lonely I hear and suffer equal ache as she

I see no stars in the skies

No sun to give me strength

Lonely as I roam around

These shores one more night

I see no stars in the skies

No light to bring me smile

Lonely as I head back home

Bearing grieveful thoughts

Though now it's bleak

Once they were so pure

Not always have I grieved

Recalling days of distant joys

Remembering them smile

Warmth and laughter filled my days

Filled my nights and eves

Warmth and laughter, distant joys

Escaping evermore

Under the wretched starless skies

In where I roamed alone

Where the darkness crept by my side

Where I laid my eyes

I felt this pain, I've beared my pain

As long as I recall

Here I walk, empty and hated

Filled with nothing, but memories

Memories are all I have

And even they began to fade

As I walked forth I heard such voice

Delightful and so sweet

I stopped for a moment and looked around

But no one there I saw

But then I turned and looked right back

Looked into my past

I saw this beauty, mystery veiled

Dressed in darkest light

Where I saw thee pale and solemn

There my heart was yours

She gave me laughter and nights of love

She gave all I craved

She seduced my thirst, fed my hunger

Seduced my darkest prays

But there was cost I couldn't see

Beared in these distant words:

"Where days fade into night

Darkness conquers light"

And there by the moors

By the distant woods

She turned to me and kissed me good

She bit a piece of me

I laid her down and kissed her back

Like any man would do

She whispered in my ears her lust

Her prays, her darkest past

Upon those bloody moors

You made me one of yours

I felt her teeth on my neck

I felt her lifeless breath

She drank, she laughed

She danced her lust

She drank all out of me

I felt her teeth on my neck

As all my life had gone

She whispered in my ear she'd love me

Forever and again

Then I felt how life flowed back

Into my empty veins

As I laid there dead, but living

I feared what had come to me

I feared and cursed, I feared and prayed

I cried and dimmed away

Shades, growing high

They lengthen and rise

Rising up high

To face my demise

I feel the searing winds beneath my wings

Tempting beats of heart from afar

Pulsing through the night guide my flight

Seducing smell of blood, gift from gods

Those forsaken gods

Since this day, I roamed again

Lifeless and alone

Hunting down every night

Someone to fill my thirst

Still there's no starlight in the skies

Though centuries have passed

No peace nor comfort in these woods

No will that should be done

Then she appeared, lost and lonely

Calm and precious one

I saw the pleasure in her eyes

I heard her lust in voice

I saw the strength of life in her

I couldn't take away

Strength of life, so pure and sweet

I smelled her young, maid flesh

All went red, I could not see

I could not hear nor feel

She fulfilled my lust and thirst for blood

Yet she never rose again

Gently as I laid her down

Amongst the woods and stones

I feel treacherous winds beneath my wings

Tragedies to be unfold at this hour

They pulsed through the night, misguided my flight

I have tasted fire, Carpathian desire
