Anticipating the onset of this night Oh! to be bathed in sweet pale light A craving so hard to shed When the wolves share tales and the moon hangs dead Through a blinding haze of red Unleashed from all bonds, by hunger led For beast and man will merge And be lost deep within delightful urge Dusk comes with scent and a chill The misty dark brings the taste for the kill From welkin this gift did descend Old silver sphere such treasured friend Still yearning to be freed To quench this thirst much prey must bleed Raging within the soul Come profane lust lets again be whole Hearts blood Yes! Hearts blood Can no longer stop what has come No halting the tide, no spell made undone To see this hunt be fulfilled Retribution instilled with each drop spilled Driven onwards in the waking sleep Anchored grip in marrow deep Eclipse of humanity soon to have passed Boon of the night collected at last It shifts it turns, it sears and burns It haunts in dreams, it yearns in screams It knows the need, to drink and feed It comes to life, through death and strife Many moons to have this night again Trapped in flesh and act the sane Forever insatiable this mare will unfold The end of this tale yet to be told Betrothed to the dying gloom Its hearse daybreak it arrived to soon Lost! fleeting benediction Morning has come familiar affliction Hearts blood Yes! Hearts blood
