[Verse 1]
Under black stone arches
I hear the blood drip slow
Candles choke on ash
In the vault below
Your name is carved in bone
On every door I find
A feast of broken vows
And hungry glass behind
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffin wakes
The iron sings
Your pulse is gold
For older kings
[Chorus]
Vampires Lair, Vampires aware
Where the shadows grow
Vampires Lair, Vampires below
Entombed forevermore
Vampires Lair, Vampires nightmare
Come closer, let it bite
Vampires Lair, Vampires take flight
We rise into the night (rise into the night)
[Verse 2]
Crowns on sleeping faces
Dust in chapel halls
Red marks on the marble
Like a thousand falls
I taste the midnight oath
On my cursed tongue
Every cracked and ancient gate
Sings where I’m from
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffin wakes
The iron sings
Your pulse is gold
For older kings
[Chorus]
Vampires Lair, Vampires aware
Where the shadows grow
Vampires Lair, Vampires below
Entombed forevermore
Vampires Lair, Vampires nightmare
Come closer, let it bite
Vampires Lair, Vampires take flight
We rise into the night (rise into the night)
[Bridge]
Kneel to the pale flame
Beneath the broken cross
The walls remember your fear
The tomb remembers loss
No dawn will touch this place
No mercy enters here
Only teeth and thunder
Only endless fear
[Final Chorus]
Vampires Lair, Vampires aware
Where the shadows grow
Vampires Lair, Vampires below
Entombed forevermore
Vampires Lair, Vampires nightmare
Come closer, let it bite
Vampires Lair, Vampires take flight
We rise into the night (rise into the night)
