Verse 1 Graf Klaus von Nibelheim, evil unbound. Wolf Lord in shadows, the mists as his shroud. Blood red his hair, and his eyes fire brown, He wears false faces, to trust is to drown. Chorus – Choir Nachzehrer, shade, vampire, a beast, By claw and with hunger he toys with his feast. The people all pray, and for God's help they cry, The Church remains blind, and passes him by. Verse 2 He wanders the valleys where moonlight is cold, The children fall silent, the tales grow old. A wolf, that some whisper, he howls in the night, A blood-sucker, others say, with great appetite. Chorus – Choir Nachzehrer, shade, vampire, a beast, By claw and hunger he toys with his feast. The people all pray, and for God's help they cry, The Church remains blind, and passes him by. Bridge Yet on Sunday he knelt with the faithful to pray, A cross on his chest, as if pure that day. The father gave wafer, the chalice of wine; The darkness has spread: Graf Klaus is fine. Nachzehrer, shade, vampire, a beast, By claw and hunger he toys with his feast. The people all pray, and for God's help they cry, The Church remains blind, and passes him by. Nachzehrer, shade, vampire, a beast, Nachzehrer, shade, vampire, a beast, The people all pray, and for God's help they cry, The Church remains blind, and passes him by. Outro Graf Klaus von Nibelheim, Wolf Lord of night, His sins are unnumbered but hidden from light.
