[instrumental intro] [Verse] Through the gloomy woods I glide so quiet Biting cold within my heart of ice Dance of the dead under moonlit skies Bloody stakes bear witness to pure vice [Verse 2] In the vampire's castle, wine does flow Yet we prefer blood pure as snow Black candles burn within the crypt Decaying souls take one last sip [instrumental solo] [Chorus] We hunt the night as if death's decree Bloodlust steals all grace from me Sneaking softly in darkness so deep Bat dances at the blood-feast … tonight we reap! [break] [Verse 3] White bones joined beneath red velvet spread Human lives by death left unfed Laughing cold in the dark's embrace For a bat is the shadow that leaves no trace [Bridge] Crosses melt, gods cease to hear Hot breath hunts blood with no fear Decadence flows in every drop we trace Fangs sink deep, as blood slows its pace [instrumental solo] [Verse 4] From the tower down into this world of night My wings embrace what brings delight No regret, just bitter jest For irony lies in my deadly jest [break] [Chorus] We hunt the night as if death's decree Bloodlust steals all grace from me Sneaking softly in darkness so deep Bat dances at the blood-feast … tonight we reap! [instrumental outro]
