Struck down before my prime,
Dragged out from the shadows.
Bound in chains of silver
And hung at the gallows.
They said that went I died
Rivers ran red with blood,
And mighty forests burned -
Flames devouring the wood.
Buried, six-feet under,
Inside a nameless tomb,
Waiting for salvation
To free me from this doom.
It came in virgin form,
A girl of sixteen years.
She opened up my grave
Unleashing one so feared.
The chains of silver break,
My fangs, they seize her neck.
I drink her gushing blood -
It runs down my bare chest.
Then I gaze up at the moon,
The only friend I have.
Always there to watch me,
To guide me on my path.
So I run through the night,
Naked, bloodstained, raging.
Searching, stalking, hunting
Those who tried to stop me.
The fools should have realised -
They should have come to see -
That there's not a coffin,
Out there that could hold me...
