(VERSE)
I come home from battle swelling with pride
On sacred duty to Walachia, and God himself
I enter my castle, only to find
My sweet Ilona leapt to her suicide
The priest approaches, a representative of Christ
In a feeble yet condemning voice
He says her soul may never know paradise
Because her death was of her own making
Happily ever after isn’t for the forsaken
I can feel the evil rising
My soul has been betrayed
(CHORUS)
I denounce the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
And swear to avenge my bride with all of the abilities that I can host
And if these powers are those of darkness and Satan
Then God has brought that wrath upon this Eden
(VERSE)
I’ve struck down, and impaled, and otherwise
Defiled the enemies of the holy Roman church
And my reward for my service to Christ
An eternity roaming an endless night
I had a throne, a land, a people, and perfect love
Now all I have is my destiny
To aim vengeance on the lord above
In Walachia, the land of the damned
For those who seek salvation in the God of Abraham
I can feel the evil rising
My soul has been betrayed
(CHORUS)
I denounce the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
And swear to avenge my bride with all of the abilities that I can host
And if these powers are those of darkness and Satan
Then God has brought that wrath upon this Eden
So welcome, enter my estate of your own free will
But you shall never leave, in fact your sweet blood will spill
The bloodline of Atilla has firmly sealed your doom
I dine forever in this undead tomb
(VERSE)
I’m the mist, the bat, the crazed beast within
For I’ll take whatever putrid form pleases me the most
At dusk the next warm bloodbath will begin
By the full moon let’s sin in my coffin
From Walachia to London, a crimson empire
Love’s for mortals, destiny is mine
Each night renews my lust and my desire
To feed from the pulsing, bulging neck veins
Of those mortal fools who wish they could forget my name
I can feel the evil rising
My soul has been enslaved
(CHORUS)
I denounce the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost
And swear to avenge my bride with all of the abilities that I can host
And if these powers are those of darkness and Satan
Then God has brought that wrath upon this Eden
So welcome, enter my estate of your own free will
But you shall never leave, in fact your sweet blood will spill
The bloodline of Atilla has firmly sealed your doom
I dine forever in this undead tomb
I’M THE DRAGON’S SON
THE FORSAKEN ONE
AND YOU’RE MINE
NOT JUST TONIGHT
BUT FOR ALL TIME
