Avatar - The Vampire Sleep lyrics

rate me

He has raised the draw-bridge above the moat

He has locked and bolted all doors he passed

He has taken care of it all for he is the one

Who can lay himself to rest

Who can sleep for a thousand years

Who can close his coffin and eternally dream

For deep below the castle walls

He has taken care of it all it comes to him

on the etherial wings of a whispering wind

Oh, the care with which he has prepared

The tender traps, the soothing salvation

A glimpse of heaven, a sparkle of Hell

in a flower to unclose on the bare soll he left

Hypnotizing the mortals passion

Oh, see them bleed for him!

Oh, is he not great, this lord of illusions!

Oh, is he not mighty, when his winds grasp their dreams?

For deep below the castle walls

He has taken care of it all

He knows that again and again he shall rise

The Vampire's Sleep! The Vampire's Sleep!
