The Blood Of The Past Lyrics

The Blood Of The Past lyrics

He had wandered the earth for ages, secretly feeding on blood of innocents and
dying animals. 

He hid in caves and forests, clinging locals in a grip of
fear. 

He was the Nosferatu and mighty King of bats. 

"Blood is
life, eternal life" he howled and the night he left his earthcovered
hidingplace, his eyes glowing red against the black sky.



As he
helpless fly trapped in a web, a girl lay in a forestbed of moss. 

The
splendid King looked in her eyes and saw her blood already flowing. 

With
her eyes closed the girl surrendered to this demonic man and let him feast upon
her. His teeth, as razors sharp and silverwhite, thrust down her neck into the
vein. 

As he drained the blood the girl slipped into death and inherited
the curse.



As a creature of the night he slept during the day, 

and made himself an easy target when found by mortal enemies.

During
the witchhunt that swept the lands a man of god brought down his life. 

But the essence had survived.
