The Thirst

[Lestat] How can this be This devil leaves And god abandons me I'm left here looking at these flames That too could set me free The vessel that I used to be Is tainted now and ripped apart Bathed in madness by that fiend Who's robbed me of my human heart To contemplate this crimson hell Is more than I can stand Did I send so to seal my fate Offered up by hell's own hand For here, I am a thing of darkness Thrown from this ungodly swoon Immortal from a savage kiss Kept from my eventual doom But wait, did I invite this fate This invitation from the damned This introduction to the dark Was never in my mortal plan And if indeed this cruel joke Was somehow in my destiny Should I embrace its wicked ways And haunt the night for what I need? (For what I need) (For what I need) To die in such a way And simply to be born again A thing of terrifying strength A bringer of bewitching pain And blood becomes the drug I need Will blood fulfill the thirst in me? The thirst that sends them to their graves The thirst for that which I now crave This thirst This thirst is strong It overpowers all right and wrong The thirst I feel it coming on The thirst I feel it coming on The thirst I feel it coming on!
