Lyrics
Nosferatu
rising with the waxing tide
drawn to what’s alive inside
suck the heat, suck the light
i nosferatu
slave to hand-me-down desire
kindling your lust to fire
the strokes and nods that I require
i nosferatu
in the dream that does not wake
a life we squander, a life we take
i’ll be strong till you feel weak
feign to hear that i might speak
slap your face and turn my cheek
i...
in the dream that does not wake
nosferatu claims its stake
nosferatu can’t confess
the life it leads it can’t possess
a swindle born of cheap success,
so sly…
behind the lies and truth unsaid
the silence of the dead undead,
and something rich goes poorly fed
good-bye nosferatu
