After All This Time

What taste is this upon my lips
A taste so sweet, what can that be
What is this scent upon the air
That fills my lungs and comforts me
And whispers low, how does it feel
To savor all such just revenge
To smell the fragrancy of loss
And drunkenly inhale his pain
How can it be your countenance
Is stripped of all his dash and dare
And what of your bold confidence
Could it have drowned in your despair
chorus
And after all this time
I wash my hands of your charade
And celebrate your fall from grace
Preserve that sad look on your face
And praise what God might manifest
Himself to beings such as us
For vengeance that at last is mine
Comes sweetly after all this time
If you'll allow me to recall
How my requests were swept aside
In every instance I beseeched you
I was shut out and denied
You shattered what I once believed
From the moment you arrived
And now you wonder why I gloat here
Revelling in your grand demise
You're arrogant beyond contempt
You beg to share my precious blood
I no sooner you in my veins
Than to see you with the ones you love


Embrace It

Where is the glory in the new me
Where is the feeling of achievement
In the shadows of the evening
Where is the satisfaction in your killing creed
Who am I now, I don't know
I must question my existence
And deal with your persistence
That somehow in some way you set me free
And I don't think that I can take another night of these instincts that I fight
This overwhelming dread of feeling damned inside
Oh God help us, just look at you
You're shrinking away from my point of view
Showering me with your pious plane
The gift that I give is exempt from shame
chorus
Embrace it, embrace it
Make no mistake, these dismal traits
Are temporary ties to everlasting life
Embrace it, embrace it
You seek my trust after the lies
But in this superficial splendor
The decades will seem endless
Or will the drudgery of torment be my bride
What lies are these of what you speak
Are you so blinded by contrition
That you sense in me ambitions
And a failure to practice what I preach
And I don't think I can take another night of your countenance in sight
The wilted flower act who shuns the vampire's bite
Oh God belp me, just look at you
Striding through Hell with nothing to prove
A glorious ghost on infinity's fuse
Then if it's to be, tell me what I should do


Make Me As You Are

I cannot hide what I've become
It's clear a mother knows her son
And even though your sight grows dim
You see the pallor of my skin
The blood red eyes sunk in my face
You feel the chill in my embrace
The Gothic legend of your youth
Stands here tonight as God's own truth
And from that truth I feel no fear
Two kinds of death are present here
Mine's the age-old act of dying
But yours is like the Phoenix rising
Your mother's frail and feeble husk
Will soon be nothing more than dust
So let's not dwell on wasted years
My time is short, my choice is clear
Make Me As You Are
Tear the hands off clocks
That tick away my final hours
I want to rage against the light
And leave the sun behind
I want to feel the path of everlasting youth inside
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever
I beg you, Make Me As You Are
This cursed gift with which I live
I know not if it's mine to give
But out of love I can't refuse
Too much to gain; nothing to lose
The risk is mine, and if we fail
I'll shake the demons by their tails
And spit into the devil's face
And say hell's now was damn, this place
I'm still a fledgling in this frame
I've only killed when hunger reigned
Death was final in my wake
But yes this is the chance we'll take
Oh blessed thoughts of sweet release
From nagging nurse, and hovering priest
To rid myself of stoop and cane
To breathe without this burning pain
Make Me As You Are
Tear the wings off angels that would lift me from your heart
I want to dance beneath the moon
And slip into the dark
I want to feel the night awaken when I leave my mark
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever, I beg you
Make Me, Make Me, Make Me As You Are
Tear the hands off clocks that tick away my final hours
I want to rage against the light
And leave the sun behind
I want to feel the path of everlasting youth inside
Take me, give me new life
And we'll live beneath the stars
Together and forever
I beg you, Make Me As You Are

Sail Me Away

When stars are born, are they cast out
To wander cold and lonely lost in space?
A loveless point of light that can't return
Forever fixed within one place
When love is lost and dreams are cast
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die
When hands that reach out are betrayed
How can my tortured soul survive?
There's only one thing left
And that's the one thing that you needed most of all
For the freedom that you gained
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore
And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home
I'm tired, I've been torn
A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones
Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home
These scars run deep
The future holds a hunger for your innocence
That passed away
Your callous shadows mock
And make it clear some things
Were not enough to make you stay
The moment time stands still
Is the moment that the writing's on the wall
The words are clear as ringing bells
That pride was present right before the fall
And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home
I'm tired, I've been torn
A cruel, wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones
Oh sail me away, carry me back to my home

The thirst ( сокращенная версия)

How can this be
This devil leaves, and God abandons me
I'm left here looking at these flames
That too could set me free
The vessel that I used to be
Is tainted now and ripped apart
Bathed in madness by the fiend
Who's robbed me of my human heart
To contemplate this crimson hell
Is more than I can stand
Did I sin so to seal my fate
Offered up by Hell's own hand
For now I am a thing of darkness
Thrown from this ungodly swoon
Immortal from a savage kiss
Kept from my eventual tomb
But wait, did I invite this fate
This invitation from the damned
This introduction to the dark
Was never in my mortal plan
And if indeed this cruel joke
Was somehow in my destiny
Should I embrace its wicked ways
And haunt the night for what I need
chorus
To die in such a way
And simply to be born again
A thing of terrifying strength
A bringer of bewitching pain
And blood become the drug I need
Let blood fulfill the thirst in me
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I will crave
[repeat chorus]
This thirst, this thirst is strong
It overpowers all right and wrong
The thirst, I feel it coming on
The thirst, I feel it coming on
The thirst, I feel it coming on

The thirst ( похоже, что полная версия)
How can this be?
This devil leaves
And God abandons me
I m left here looking
At these flames
But who could set me free?
The vessel that I used to be
Is tainted now and ripped apart
Bathed in madness by the fiend
Who s robbed me of my human heart
To contemplate
This crimson hell
Is more than I can stand
Did I sin so
To see my fate
Offered up by hell s own hand?
My skin that once was golden brown
Is cold and white as winter snow
These evil points that pierce my gums
These lacquered nails that seem to glow

But wait, did I invite this fate,
This invitation from the damned?
This introduction to the dark
Was never in my mortal plan
And if indeed this cruel joke
Was somehow in my destiny
Should I embrace its wicked ways
And haunt the night for what I need?

To die in such a way
And simply to be born again
A thing of terrifying strength
A bringer of bewitching pain
And blood become the drug I need
Will blood fulfill the thirst in me?
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I will crave

My life is gone
But I live on
Dead, but still alive
Lost to those
Who loved me once
A demon now inside
For here I am a thing of darkness
Thrown from this ungodly swoon
Immortal from a savage kiss
Kept from my eventual doom

But I did not invite this fate
This invitation from the damned
This introduction to the dark
Was never in my mortal plan
And if indeed this cruel joke
Was somehow in my destiny
Then I ll embrace its wicked ways
And haunt the night for what I need

To die in such a way
And simply to be born again
A thing of terrifying strength
A bringer of bewitching pain
And blood become the drug I need
Let blood fulfill the thirst in me
The thirst that sends them to their graves
The thirst for that which I now crave

This thirst
This thirst is strong
It overpowers
All right and wrong
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on
The thirst
I feel it coming on!

to kill your kind

Be still I say, for you excel
In virtues common in the infidel
A mongrel bitch who feels compelled
To twist the rules to suit herself
Do you look at me and see a fool?
Do we look like we bend for the likes of you?
What possesses you to cross that line?
When you know what it means to kill your own kind

No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your

This demon rides a carousel
She would swing back and forth of the gates of Hell
Just a rat from the gutter who got washed ashore
She's a scheming witch from the belly of a whore.
So look at me and squirm inside
Did you think in this world there's a place to hide?
From the ancient ones to the next in line
It's always been a sin to kill your kind!


No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind


There's no greater sin, no greater crime than to kill your kind!

Excuse me if this is unexpected
Present company accepted
Ignorance of what we teach
Leaves help somewhere out of your reach
No Judas kiss is needed here
My friends- the evidence is clear!
There's no greater crime than to kill your kind!

Look hard upon your dirty work
Strong blood brought him back from the ashes and the earth
Correct me but it seems your schemes have come back to haunt your virgin dreams!
We account not here for sex and age
Compassion is a weakness of the mortal race!
Enough is enough!
I'm done, so take her!
There's no greater crime than to kill your maker!

No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind

No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind
No greater crime than to kill your kind

Is she the one who contrived to kill you?

Lestat: She rose against me...

Armand: But did she attempt to kill you?

Six more years and I might have had that shape!

Armand:
I see what you say, for you excel
This virtue common in the infidel
A mongrel bitch who feels compelled

What possess you to cross the line
When you know what it means to kills to your kind

My crime against her is far worse than death.
Yes, she rose against me, but I do not blame her!

She swings back and forth like the gates of hell
The rats in the gutter, the tic from the floor
Make a dog like (indistinguishable)
Like a common whore

Do you think in this world...
A place to hide,
From the ancient rites
To be next in line
It's always been a sin to kill your kind

There's no greater sin
There's no greater crime (3x)
No greater crime than to kill your kind (3x)

I do not want vengeance! Claudia--!

Armand: Die with the sun.

Claudia:Father!

I want more

Don't chastise me, I'm a child
Acting as a child does.
You blind me with lifeless dolls
When what I want is blood.

You took me from the streets to complete this union
Do you expect some little saint, kneeling for communion?

I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!

Look at you, you disapprove
Like two fussy mothers
Who are you to criticize the habits of another?

Did I rock the family boat
by dining on the help?

Aren't I just the little beast?
Well, I can't stop myself!

I want more, I want mo-o-o-ore!

I don't want their milk and honey,
They can keep their fine herb teas.

I don't need their chocolate hot and sweet,
It's thick and red for me.

For everyone that comes along, knocking on this door,
Don't blame me, it's your fault, that I want more!

Look at me, I'm so sweet,
I'm innocent and charming
But all you see is some spoiled brat,
A child so demanding

Don't fuss so!
You both know the rapture of the bite.
Is not monstrous,
It's just Claudia's healthy appetite

And I want more!
I want more!

Should I be the little miss,
And while away the hours?
I think not, I'd rather hunt
Then cut up paper flowers.

Thanks to you, the things I do
Verge on the obscene
What a pair of hypocrites
Well this cat wants her cream!

I want more!
I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!

I wonder through the streets at night
and find a charming couple
Who fear that such an angel lost,
Could find herself in trouble

They can't resist my trembling lip
My eyes so filled with tears
They rest my head upon their neck
'Oh Dear'

Mo-o-o-ore!
I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!

I don't want their milk and honey,
They can keep those fine herb teas!

I don't need their chocolate hot and sweet,
It's thick and red for me.

For everyone that comes along, knocking on this door
Don't blame me, its your fault,
That I want more!

I want mo-o-o-ore!

I want more!
I want mo-o-o-ore!

I want more!!
