Lyrics:

I The return of the Vampyre Lord

There once descended the chiropteran thirst
The animal of all desire and pagan lust
The bride whom I dearly loved succumbed that night
The remaining silhouette came back to haunt me tonight

I've built an empire to trap my own sorrow
I am the wolf wandering around your shadow
A fate worse than the absence of life
I made the night my reason and my wife

Mă lepăd de Dumnezeu (I renounce God)
From the seeds of Belial

The fog embraced the sylvian night
One more tragedy to feed on my birthright
The season of the dead
The curse of the Damned

II The cycle of suffering

The battlefield may have changed but the war is not over.
Is it even worth living? Animals, humans, it's all the same,
The laws of nature:
Kill or be killed
Feed or starve, take or get taken....
The notions of good and evil are just a blur
A code invented by morality which is itself subject to doubt.
What really is evil?
Is it evil for a snake to swallow its prey?
Is it when the less fortunate of the brood is abandoned by its tribe?
Is survival at any cost truly a reflection of evil?
And who set those rules in the first place?
Is it God who allows this cycle of suffering?


The law of the Nocturnal

Walking the same path for centuries
Nothing really changes, the face remains distant
The steps are monolithic
It is the law of the nocturnal
A beast among humans and a friend of the night
Animals fear him all the same
His thirst is never-ending
The same old tale with a twist of the neck
The same old fate and nowhere to return
