At Dawn They Sleep |
| Awakened, I have become |
| Light now slips away |
| Manipulate your mind |
| Darkness is my slave |
| Taste the sins of Hell |
| The blood that I so crave |
| The last thing that you see |
| Is the hunger in my eyes |
| Blood sucking creatures of the night |
| Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light |
| Cries screaming out every fright |
| Eagerly awaiting plight |
| Apparitions from the pits of Hell |
| Death plagues the streets in which they dwell |
| Demented lust, the secrets they must keep |
| Addicted to your blood |
| At dawn they sleep |
| Unveil the hidden coffin |
| Lift the lid of terror |
| Feel the deadly cold |
| Freeze you from inside |
| Perceiving your intentions |
| To slay the phantom form |
| Raise the stake in malice |
| You cannot plunge it down |
| Blood sucking creatures of the night |
| Nocturnal spectre hiding from the light |
| Cries screaming out every fright |
| Eagerly awaiting plight |
| Apparitions from the pits of Hell |
| Death plagues the streets in which they dwell |
| Demented lust, the secrets they must keep |
| Addicted to your blood |
| At dawn they sleep |
| Beware the image unseen |
| Stalks your soul |
| Your corpse’s redeem |
| Eternal damnation, your just reward |
| A servant of our Lord |
| By your accord |
| Admonish of the cruciform |
| Impalement |
| Immortality’s scorned |
| Rise, hold fast your faith |
| To lie dormant |
| Is certain death |
| Driven by the instinct of centuries of horror |
| Implanted along the brain of the sickening parasite |
| Linked together by one trait |
| The hell-ful need to kill |
| Kill, kill, kill, kill |
| Emerging from their hellish tomb |
| Taking flight amidst the night |
| The evening skies are raining death |
| Swooping down from shadowed skies |
| Taking simple human form |
| Shed their wings to stalk the mortal man |
| Lock their jaws into your veins |
| Satanic soldiers strike their prey |
| Leaving corpses waiting for the change |
| Blood dripping from the jaws of death |
| Not enough to satisfy |
| They must drain your soul of life |
