"The Blood Is Calling" lyrics

I have wept
Shed the tears of life bereft
Sank into that sweet caress
A symphony of living death

And with this insight
I feel it in my canines
A shadow in the moonlight
A child of the blackest night

I hear their singing streams of life
And yearn myself to take a bite

Though I first resist
This unquenched thirst will not relent
I'm standing at the precipice
Infernal metamorphosis

How long can man withstand this need?
Instincts that call to yield and feed
I hear the blood
It sings seductively
I let it in my heart and it became a part of me
I hear the blood
I hear the blood
It's calling me

The flesh of man
Prey to fiends
My heart no longer hopes
But dreams of thirst
Unholy! Dire!
A gnawing burning fire!
A yearning, deep
That wakes the dead
And bids them leap for blood, then multiply
An army that can never die
O' wretched heart, so full of shame
That thirsts to feed yet hides the claim

These horrid deeds
This inner plague
This vile greed
Shall haunt me for eternity

And those beloved I deceived
I hear their voices in my head
They carry songs of righteous dread
My heart is still, my skin is cold
Again I feel it taking hold of me
I hear the blood, it sings seductively
I let it in my heart and it became a
Part of me
I hear the blood
I hear the blood
It's calling now

I feel the blood, It pulls me back to thee
I let you in my heart and you joined me eternally
I hear the blood
I hear the blood
It's calling me

Yearning to sever undeath and rebirth
Cursed forever walking the earth

Finally, you let me in your heart
And I became a part of thee
You hear the blood
You feel the blood
It's calling thee
