[Intro] Rot blooms where my shadow falls Lanterns dim in mourning halls The bells ring not for death, but dread For I am hunger, pale and spread [Verse] I walk with fever in my veins A whisper felt through windowpanes No scream, no prayer, no lock can bar The illness carried from afar Your breath will slow, your sight will fade But oh — the stillness I have made [Chorus] Nosferatu, the creeping blight Nosferatu, devourer of light No cure remains, no dawn breaks through The night is long — and shaped like you [Verse] The sickbeds bloom like crimson lilies The air grows thick with holy stillness Every pulse a fading drum Every prayer remembers none I do not slay — I simply wait Your warmth is mine, I am your fate [Verse] Children hush when I draw near They feel the quiet, not the fear Their lullabies forget the sun They know the ending has begun [Chorus] Nosferatu, the creeping blight Nosferatu, devourer of light No cure remains, no dawn breaks through The night is long — and shaped like you [Bridge] No flame can burn what’s already ash No priest can bind what does not pass No mother’s tears, no soldier’s oath Can halt the rot in living growth You are soft, yet built to break I am the hunger none can slake Do not deny the truth you see: You were always meant for me [Chorus] Nosferatu, the creeping blight Nosferatu, devourer of light No cure remains, no dawn breaks through The night is long — and shaped like you [Verse] Kneel now, in the quiet deep Where sickness sings and cities sleep Your final breath becomes my hymn And so the world grows quiet, dim
