lyrics

I have been a ruthless killer for thirty score & ten,
I have been the Devil's fingers, I have killed a thousand men.
I have drunk the blood of peasants, I have dined with ancient kings,
I have seen the best & worst of everyone, everything.

I've been living in the mountains, I've been hiding in the dark.
I'm the shiver down your spine, the missing beat of your heart.
I have taken what I wanted, I have done what I pleased,
I'm The Lord of the Carpathians, the worst you've ever seen.

I lost the taste for blood and I can't get it back,
Now I don't know what to do.

I descended on the villagers on winter's longest night,
Looking for a mistress to whet my appetite.
I found my victim hiding underneath her floor,
She was screaming all the way as I dragged her to my door.

I lost the taste for blood and I can't get it back, Now I don't know what to do.

I was a baker,
I had three kids...
I was bitten in an alleyway:
A vampire was made.
How I miss them
Now they are gone!
I couldn't look them in the eye,
A monster took their mother's life,
I can't believe it was me!

I lost the taste for blood and I can't get it back, It happened somewhat gradually,
I wandered off the track.
I swear I'll leave this life behind,
The taste of fear, of blood & wine.
I'll set sail across the sea
Bound for Panama & better dreams.
