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!
