Der Vampyr

I thought it was I hunting the shadows
But I have become their pray
I felt them move through my soul
And now they are wearing my face

I can see in their eyes
When the lights fade and die
That the gates of heaven are closed
I can see in their eyes
When the lights fade and die
That, in the end, we all die alone

And it pulls me down
It pulls me down
The ferryman's bell begins to sound
And I drown

A sister of God sings in prayer
For the pallor Venus tangled in sheets
She rides the threshold of the unknown
And I can no longer speak
