The Vampire (Live at The Forum, Los Angeles, March 14, 1999) lyrics

Thou who like a vampire thrust
Entered my complaining soul
Thou who like a host of demons
Came wild and beautiful

Oh hollow cast on the ground
Into your bed and your domain
Wretch infamous to whom I'm bound
Like a convict to a chain
A gambler to his dice
A drunkard to his revelry
Carrion of worms and lice
Cursed, cursed may thou be

I implored the rapid sword
To succor my timidity
I asked the poison I abhorred
To secure my liberty
Alas! The poison and the sword
Only showed contempt for me
You deserve not the reward
Of freedom from your slavery
Fool!- If thou resolution
Saved you from your world of clay
You would kiss alive again
Thе vampire’s tenemеnt of f*cking clay
Goodnight, goodbye
