Lyrics
SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE
The sun is setting.
It’s imperative our efforts don’t delay.
We pack our bags, and check our tags
Onward. The star awaits.
The camera films a countryside
Trapped in the realms of fallen night.
Soon we approach The Stranger’s coach
Our horses weaken in their stride.
And then we feel...
The Shadow of the Vampire- waiting.
The Shadow of the figure forlorn.
The Shadow of the Vampire’s waiting
Oh, a star is reborn.
(Come alive!)
A verbal pact mutually backed
Obeying boundaries of his part.
Or so we thought, but now we’re caught
Within the plot’s thick bloody heart.
The crew is dead, the sets are red.
We’re next. The camera comes to life.
There's no premiere film of the year.
Only the camera’s glassy eye reflects the tale of...
The Shadow of the Vampire- waiting
The Shadow of the figure forlorn.
The Shadow of the Vampire’s waiting.
Oh, This star is reborn!
NIM VIND SOLO
The Shadow of the Vampire- waiting
The Shadow of the figure forlorn.
The Shadow of the Vampire’s waiting.
Oh, This star is reborn!
You cannot direct the director of your destiny.
Your scene lies on the cutting floor
of his shadow.
