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!
