In My Head

Lyrics:
Hush now, thank you for the blood, my friend
Anyway your life was about to end
If you want I can sing you a lullaby
To help pass the time 'til death comes by
"Under a blood moon in the heart of the night
If a two tongued virgin should die dressed in white
the lions will dance and the roosters will sing
at the end of her life, will be born a new king"
Someone sang this to me just like I did to you
But what it really means, I never knew
For centuries it's been stuck in my head
I could go on... but Oh...

I Need More
01:31

Lyrics:
You're dead...
I remember when Dracula first came to town
Took one look at me, I thought I would drown
His kiss had a taste that I never had before
He gave me a little, and now I need some more
Now alone, I roam the streets of Montreal
Like some creepy phantom in a music hall
He bit me, it changed me, but then he was out the door
He gave me a little, and now I need some more
Since he’s gone back to his homeland
The afterlife feels so empty and bland
Only he can break me out of this curse
Bring back my joie de vivre and my thirst
On your own Immortality can be a routine
Oh Dracula won’t you think of poor Seraphine
On that day, you changed me, I woke up and swore
Let me pay you back, and give you so much more

My Dearest Dracula...
01:07
|

Lyrics:
Remember me? Seraphine
Made me a vampire at sixteen
Ever since I've been trying to repay you
And I thought maybe this small favour could do
If my calculations are right
The blood moon will happen on prom night
Drink virgin blood until a girl has died
Then be all powerful with me right at your side
You'll be the king of the night
And I'll be Prom Queen
Faithfully yours, signed Seraphine

Fear
02:53
|

Lyrics:
There was a time when humans lived so afraid
Of vicious, mysterious creatures in the shade
Every parcel of night could be hiding a threat
Everyone felt fear as soon as the sun would set
All that’s left now is just a souvenir
Nobody has the time for good old-fashioned fear
I’ve been relegated to a legend and a joke
If I taste burned out blood one more time, I will choke
Fear, makes the blood soft in your mouth
Fear, I’ve been searching for it north and south
Fear, the most beautiful human state
Makes eternity worth all the wait
I’ve tasted dread, anxiety and sadness
Worry, panic, a little bit of madness
It’s all stale and it’s all sour
But once I regain all my power
I’ll taste the fear, when they surrender and cry
Fear, that little scream before they die
Fear, the most beautiful human sate
Makes eternity...
Once I regain all my power
Every single neck I devour
Will have the unmistakable flavour
The incredible, delicious savour of fear

Take me to the Prom
02:18
|

Lyrics:
Dracula:
I was quite surprised to get your invitation
To this very strange teenage celebration
Seraphine:
It’s you, you really came?
And you remember my name
It’s like no time has passed
Wow! Vampire mail gets around fast
But now we must be swift
I've gotten you an incredible gift
So let’s go to the prom tonight
Those poor young humans won’t put up a fight
Dracula:
Of course I remember you
Seraphine:
New Orleans, spring 1862
Dracula:
In a white elegant dress, you looked pretty in death
I remember the smell of your very last breath
But now we must be swift
You've given me an incredible gift
Take me to the prom my dear
The weak young humans will tremble in fear
Seraphine:
Under a blood moon in the heart of the night
If a two tongued virgin should die dressed in white
The Lions will dance and the Roosters will sing
At the end of her life will be born a new king
Dracula:
(Under the moon that virgin
Waits for sacrifice!)
Seraphine:
Under a blood moon in the heart of the night
If a two tongued virgin should die dressed in white
The Lions will dance and the Roosters will sing
At the end of her life will be born a new king
Both:
Under a blood moon in the heart of the night
If a two tongued virgin should die dressed in white
The Lions will dance and the Roosters will sing
At the end of her life will be born a new king
But now we must take flight
Before we end the night
Dracula:
So, Take me to the prom my sweet
Both:
Those fresh young humans will be ripe to eat

The Debutante
01:50
|
|||
Lyrics:
Seraphine:
I remember a gown, my white gown
My first night on the town
I was a debutante at her ball
When he appeared
I never debuted at all
Isn’t it odd, Seraphine, don’t lose your cool
It’s just a girl in a dress acting like a fool
They are young, they are stupid, dancing and drinking
Wait, why? What is going on? What am I thinking?
Youth, changing, so trusting and chaste
Just for a second, let me remember the taste
You killed me, you ruined me, my life was erased
For centuries I had forgotten the taste
Isn’t it odd, Seraphine, remember at last
Changing and growing are things of the past
I was young, I was craving… life was beginning
Wait, why? What is going?
My thoughts are spinning
My thoughts are spinning
Ahh
Dracula:
Seraphine I remember...
Seraphine:
Yeah, yeah, shut up, and die!

A New Prophecy
01:27
|
|||
Lyrics:
Oh dear me, oh Seraphine you must stay still
The night has run away with all desire to kill
What’s next for me, the prophecy doesn’t say
If you don’t have a soul, are you supposed to pray?
Oh Seraphine, oh Seraphine, be quiet and serene
I haven’t felt this kind of hope since I was just teen
It’s been an awfully long night and I can hear my cue
I think I’ll stay to watch the sky turn blue
