Hark, the fledgling vampires rise, [Ooh, the night-time!] Glory to the moonlit skies; [Sweet, sweet darkness!] Peace on earth, and mercy mild, [Newborn, dark and wild!] Joyful, all ye clans of Night, [Join the Bite!] With th' Immortal Host proclaim, [Hear the name!] Christ the Fledgling is become! [Hark, rise up!] Christ, by sharp fangs now made flesh, [Lord, have mercy!] Lives in Transylvania fresh; [Deep, deep shadow!] Veiled in robes of deepest black, [No turning back!] Greeting life, there's no turning back! [Oh, the hunger!] Born that man no more may sleep, [From the sleep!] Born to grant us life unending, [Transcendin'!] See him taste the crimson spring, [Blood is runnin'!] Hear the midnight music ring; [Howlin' loud!] Welcome, brother, to the club, [Take the rub!] No more sorrow, sun is done! [The long night's won!] He is one of us tonight, [Child of Night!] Now behold your ancient might! [Mighty! Mighty!] Come and kiss the casket door, [Rest in cool!] We don't worry anymore; [No sun up!] Never age and never die, [Way up high!] Just be hungry, sharp, and lean, [Stay unseen!] Fledgling, you are now set free, [Eternity!] Lord of all you're meant to be! [Yes, indeed!]
