No Time to Waste

[The song starts off with bagpipes playing up to the beginning of the first verse] [Spoken word — female, haunting, raspy voice] It’s funny how a date from an app—and one bad decision—could lead to the mess I’m in. It also makes sense now why my ex is my ex. I thought he was cheating on me, but in reality, he was hunting vampires. Before the sun rose above the forest I buried my ex behind the cabin. It was the least I could do. (Verse 1) I had no choice but to close my eyes My body begged for sleep I dreamed a fever dream Something I never knew vampires could have It was Alicia screaming in fear And the howling of a wolf I woke up with a start The night had returned [Spoken word — female, haunting, raspy voice] I had my ex’s car keys. I wasn’t sure how much gas was left in the motorcycle, and I figured the car would make things easier. But then I felt a pull from somewhere, stopping me in my tracks. It was him… My date… The one responsible for my… condition. (Chorus) My twin sister Alicia is in serious trouble There’s no time to waste I have to find her and save her She would do the same for me I’ll tear through every obstacle There’s no time to waste [Spoken word — female, haunting, raspy voice] I asked him if he was here to finish the job. He shook his head. “No. I’m going to take my time. I’ll teach you to lose your humanity and embrace the monster you’ve become.” (Verse 2) I may be a monster But I’m one of your creations I refuse to give in to hate I have no intention of going with you So I told him, “Screw you” I was nothing but a date for dinner Or maybe the dinner itself Now you’re standing in my way And that’s a dangerous place to be [Spoken word — female, haunting, raspy voice] There were wooden stakes on the table. I grabbed one and lunged at him. With a swipe of his hand, he knocked me clear across the room. I lunged at him again… Purposely missing him and smashing into the beam supporting part of the roof. (Chorus) My twin sister Alicia is in serious trouble There’s no time to waste I have to find her and save her She would do the same for me I’ll tear through every obstacle There’s no time to waste (Verse 3) The roof collapsed just as I planned Part of the cabin crashed to the ground I turned and ran from the wreckage I heard him roar Then nothing more (Bridge) I rushed out through the broken window I ran to my ex’s car I fumbled with the keys But somehow got it started I floored the pedal and drove away Left the cabin in the dust Left my ex behind in the dust (Chorus) My twin sister Alicia is in serious trouble There’s no time to waste I have to find her and save her She would do the same for me I’ll tear through every obstacle There’s no time to waste (Outro) The matter was urgent I had to get away The only thought inside my mind Was my sister in danger I drove for a while Not knowing where to go After some distance I pulled to the side To get my bearings [Spoken word — female, haunting, raspy voice] ( Bagpipes playing to end of the song) I checked my phone. I hoped and prayed that her phone was still on and connected to the cloud. Thank God… I found her location. I pulled back onto the road and drove off to save my sister. No time to waste.
