[Intro] [Driving syncopated synth bassline enters, heavy and isolated] [Crisp acoustic drum kit enters with a powerful kick and snare pattern] [Clean electric guitar rhythm scratches accenting the off-beat] [Verse 1] An innocent college girl, with a goody geek next door He helped her study math and science more But in the night a dashing stranger came She fell into his trance and breathed his name Beneath the full moon night he bit her deep A vampire now, a dark romance to keep [Chorus 1] Oh my love, I’d give you my life Make me your vampire, cut like a knife My blood you shall have, matching your thirst Share me your love, share me your curse [Verse 2] The vampire girl, she shunned the nerdy boy She said "Be yourself, you're not a monster's toy Your human blood lacks adventure and romance Go find desire, you do not stand a chance" [Chorus 2] But love is eternal, a light in the dread A life much greater than the cold undead Desire is fleeting, a temporary heat But if you must taste me, my blood will be sweet [Verse 3] He got his PhD in hematology To change his blood and change his destiny He made his veins a sweet, addictive treat The monsters gathered in the dark to eat But she ne'er came, the one he longed to see They kept him breathing in his misery A living fountain for the ones who mocked Forever feeding while his heart was locked [Chorus 3] [Lament of Dr. Blood] Oh, Dr. Blood, you sweeten the vein Longing for her through the night and the rain You give them your life, matching their thirst But she will not share in your love or your curse [Verse 4] But science shifted in his altered veins The sweetness turned to antibodies and chains A cure was born within his glowing cells Immunity to break the vampire spells She finally came to taste his sacred flow But as she drank, the cure began to show She was made human, stripped of her desire While her dark lover turned to ash and fire [Chorus 4] [The Girl's Lament] She cries for the monster, her lost dark romance She looks at the geek with a sorrowful glance "Why did you change? Look what you've done!" Her immortal love is destroyed by the sun [Bridge] [Synth bassline shifts to a tenser, melodic progression] Regret washes over the man with the cure He wanted her love, but he made her too pure He healed the disease of the wicked undead Hailed as a hero for the blood that he shed Loved by the millions, a medical star But hated by the one he loved from afar [Outro] [Guitar rhythm scratches slowly fade out] Yes, love is a curse like a madness inside Like vampires who hunt where the shadows abide But even the undead are falling in love Beneath the pale moon up above So ends the ballad, the tragic design Of poor Dr. Blood and his bitter red wine [Song ends sharply on a final crisp snare hit]
